Apple TV's Bad Monkey Season 2 premieres Dec. 2

Apple TV announced on August 19, 2026, that its comedy series Bad Monkey will return for a second season, premiering on December 2, 2026. The streamer released first-look photos and confirmed the premiere date, setting the stage for the continuation of the story based on Carl Hiaasen's bestselling novel.

The 10-episode second season will debut with one episode on December 2, followed by a new episode every Wednesday through the finale on February 3, 2027. The series stars and is executive produced by Vince Vaughn, who reprises his role as Andrew Yancy, a former Miami police detective now working as a health inspector in the Florida Keys.

According to the official synopsis, the new season presents an entirely new story. Yancy witnesses the murder of "Florida's finest fixer," which leads an ambitious state attorney to pair him with a straitlaced forensic accountant to investigate the crime. Eager to regain his detective's badge, Yancy becomes embroiled in a turf war between rival criminal organizations while navigating a cast of Florida oddballs. These include an erudite mob boss, his unhinged son, and a hard-edged young woman who needs Yancy's protection.
