- Bad Monkey is coming again for a second season
- A 3rd season is feasible, as the unique pitch was for 3 seasons
- Plot particulars are below wraps however could possibly be impressed by Carl Hiaasen’s ebook
One of my absolute favourite reveals on any of the most effective streaming providers this yr was Bad Monkey on Apple TV Plus. It’s one of many causes Apple’s streaming service was one in all our Techradar award winners this yr, and my willpower to speak endlessly about it at each alternative could clarify why I have never been invited to any Christmas events this yr.
One of the issues with falling in love with a streaming present is the Netflix curse, which sadly applies to all streamers: it is a enterprise as cut-throat as any of the baddies you may discover in Bad Monkey and plenty of favourite reveals find yourself sleeping with the fishes.
But it seems to be like Apple is the nice man this time round, as a result of Bad Monkey, top-of-the-line Apple TV Plus reveals, is coming again. Back! BACK!
More monkey enterprise
The information was posted on the official Apple TV account on X with simply 4 phrases: “Bad Monkey. Good information.” The submit included a brief clip of Vince Vaughn and John Ortiz on their acquainted beachside chairs earlier than slicing to black and the phrases: “renewed for season 2”.
If you have not already seen Apple TV Plus’ subsequent massive comedy from Ted Lasso’s co-creator, cease what you are doing and binge it proper now. You can thank me later. Based on the ebook by Carl Hiaasen it is an absolute blast of a Floridian crime caper that is usually very humorous, sometimes heartbreaking and by no means lower than gripping.
Part of the explanation it is such a superb present is that each single member of the forged is phenomenal. Vaughn as kinda-cop Andrew Yancy is humorous and simply the best facet of annoying to stay likeable reasonably than unbearable; Jodie Turner-Smith is astonishing because the fierce and horrifying Dragon Queen; Rob Delaney and Ronald Peet have been spectacular as two very totally different individuals whose lives find yourself in collision; and Crystal the Monkey, who performs Driggs (a monkey), is excellent at being a monkey.
I might go on, and infrequently do.
And if information of a second season wasn’t sufficient, it seems to be like there could possibly be a 3rd. According to author Bill Lawrence, the present was pitched with a three-season arc in thoughts. “They have been actually receptive to it,” he says.
As for plot particulars, they’re at present below wraps. But provided that Carl Hiaasen’s Bad Monkey has a sequel, Razor Girl, that additionally options Andrew Yancy – and provided that Lawrence has beforehand mentioned he intends to make use of that ebook to encourage the second season, you realize the place to go if you need some spoilers.
Season 1 of Bad Monkey is streaming now on Apple TV Plus.
