While you’re eagerly awaiting the premiere of Shrinking Season 2 on Apple TV+, the streamer has an exciting new Bill Lawrence series to help hold you over: Bad Monkey.
Adapted from Carl Hiaasen’s 2013 novel of the same name, Lawrence’s comedic drama “tells the story of Andrew Yancy (Vince Vaughn), who has been bounced from the Miami Police Department and is now a health inspector in the Keys.” Per Apple TV+’s synopsis, “After stumbling upon a case that begins with a human arm fished up by tourists, he realizes that if he can prove murder, he’ll be back in. He just needs to get past a trove of Floridian oddballs and one bad monkey.”
For those wondering, yes! Bad Monkey does in fact star a monkey alongside Vaughn, as well as a stacked cast of other familiar faces and Bill Lawrence’s daughter, singer Charlotte Lawrence, in her television debut!
Curious when Bad Monkey premieres on Apple TV+? What time you should tune in for new episodes each week? How many episodes are in Bad Monkey? And who’s who in the cast? Here’s everything to know about Apple TV+’s new series.
Bad Monkey premieres Wednesday, August 14 on Apple TV+.
Bad Monkey Season 1 consists of 10 episodes. After the first two episodes premiere on August 14, the series will follow a weekly release schedule until the October 9 finale.
As noted above, new episodes of Bad Monkey will premiere weekly on Wednesdays until the finale. That said, Apple TV+ often releases new episodes at 8:00 or 9:00 p.m. ET the night ahead of designated premiere dates, so if you’re extra eager to watch, keep your eyes peeled for new episodes on Tuesday nights.
