Vince Vaughn finally has an answer for fans curious about Bad Monkey Season 2. Based on Carl Hiaasen's novel, Bad Monkey follows the intriguing story of Andrew Yancy (Vince Vaughn), who previously worked as a police detective, exposing high-profile crimes but later becoming a restaurant inspector.
However, his journey as a restaurant inspector seems more adventurous than being a police investigator, as Yancy encounters notable crimes and unearths the depths of corruption in Key West, Florida.
In the first season, Yancy finally confronts Eve and Nick as their reality comes to light. Nick tries to eliminate Yancy, but the restaurant inspector is clever enough not to fall into his trap.
Yancy even discovers that Nick and Eve are set to flee, but before that, he discovers their next move. The episodes are filled with humor and action; fans hope the series does not end with just one season.

Vince Vaughn talks about Bad Monkey Season 2
Bad Monkey has successfully made it to the must-watch shows on Apple TV+, featuring talented actor Vince Vaughn in the leading role. The first season is finally on the streamer, and viewers have been sharing their responses on social media.
While talking about his show in an interview with Paul McGuire Grimes, Vince Vaughn said:
"Yeah, this really works as its own story and it's great So, there's always that possibility because there are some more books with it.."
The actor explained that even though season 1 has a complete story, there is always a chance to tell more through other books. However, an official announcement about the hit series' renewal is pending.
The first season's episodes were still being released at the time of this article's publishing on Apple TV+. The fifth episode, titled That Damn Arm is Back, which is also the latest, follows Yancy delving into Nick's true intentions and hints at more action in the upcoming episodes.
What has happened in Bad Monkey so far?
The first five episodes are out, each being incredibly fun and suspicious as Andrew keeps finding hidden secrets about the characters since discovering a severed arm.
It has been revealed that Nick, who was presumed dead, was pretending to be Christopher, and Eve significantly contributed to initiating the insurance fraud. Yancy knows Nick and Eve are the two most notorious and dishonest people around him.
Episode five ends with Yancy telling Eve he's still alive, further complicating the situation. Additionally, Eve threatened Caitlin, hinting that she might face problems in the future.
Initially, fans didn't expect Eve to be one of the ruthless figures in the comedy-drama, but viewers could see more of Eve's dark side as the series progressed.
Will there be a Bad Monkey Season 2?
As mentioned, Vaughn stated that season one might not require another chapter since the story will be concluded in the ongoing chapter.
However, the series' makers and even Vaughn didn't confirm that Bad Monkey would end after the first season.
Additionally, the author Carl Hiaasen penned a sequel titled Razor Girl, and in a 2023 interview, producer Bill Lawrence said (via The Direct):
"He wrote a sequel to 'Bad Monkey' called 'Razor Girl' that we also have. I don’t want to get caught in the thing where you’re like, 'It’s okay that there’s no other book! We’ll do another year and it’ll be great!'."
As the novel's title suggests, Razor Girl follows the story of a girl named Merry Mansfield, who turns out to be a con artist. She is known for intentionally crashing her car into other people to kidnap them.
While Yancy is already working on a case, he discovers that his case and Razor Girl's kidnapping are connected. Yancy believes that he might get the investigator badge back if he solves this complicated case.
While the two books have different stories, Hiaasen ensured both are filled with wit and humor, engaging readers with Andrew Yancy's fun yet intense journey.
Bad Monkey is streaming on Apple TV+.
