Vince Vaughn is back on the case in Bad Monkey Season 2, the Apple TV series adapted from Carl Hiaasen’s 2013 novel, which returns a little over two years after its debut season wrapped.
Season 2 begins when Andrew Yancy, played by Vaughn, witnesses the murder of Florida’s finest fixer. An ambitious state attorney teams him up with a strait-laced forensic accountant to solve the crime. Yancy lands in the middle of a turf war between rival criminal organizations and has to deal with a cast of Florida oddballs, including an erudite mob boss, his unhinged son, and a hard-edged young woman who needs his protection.
Yancy’s personal life is just as messy. He contends with his aging father and unresolved romantic tension with Dr. Rosa Campensino, played by Natalie Martinez, who launches her own investigation into a mysterious rash. He also clashes with a bombastic animal relocation specialist whose business threatens the local environment.
Bad Monkey Season 2 premieres on Apple TV on Wednesday, December 2, 2026, with one episode.
