About Bad Monkey

Bad Monkey stars Vince Vaughn as Andrew Yancy, a suspended Miami detective reduced to restaurant inspection in the Keys until a severed arm pulls him into a murder case. Developed by Bill Lawrence from Carl Hiaasen's 2013 novel, the first season ran ten episodes from August to October 2024 and held 92 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

The second season premieres December 2, 2026 with ten weekly episodes through February 3, 2027, built around an all-new original story with John Malkovich as a Florida crime boss. Season one adapts the novel fully, so season two starts clean. Watch season one first for Yancy and Rosa, then roll into the new case.

Good to know

Air order is story order. Season one closes out its Hiaasen plot completely, and season two pairs Yancy with a forensic accountant on an unrelated murder, so there is no interleaving to untangle. Readers of the novel should know the show keeps the characters but rearranges the mystery. Season two has a firm December date and is tracked until it premieres.
