You know we're getting close to the start of the fall season when we start getting early looks at what's set to hit our screens – in December. That's exactly what we got from Apple TV on Wednesday, with the streamer releasing first-look images from the second season of its acclaimed comedy Bad Monkey. Starring and executive produced by Vince Vaughn, hailing from award-winning creator and executive producer Bill Lawrence, and based on Carl Hiaasen's New York Times bestselling novel series, the 10-episode sophomore season spotlights an all-new original story and will go worldwide on Apple TV with one episode on Wednesday, December 2nd, 2026 (followed by one new episode every Wednesday through February 3rd, 2027). Here's a look at the official overview that was released:

After Andrew Yancy (Vaughn) witnesses the murder of Florida's finest fixer, an ambitious state attorney pairs him up with a strait-laced forensic accountant to solve the crime. Eager to regain his detective's badge, Yancy finds himself embroiled in a turf war between rival criminal organizations as he navigates a variety of Florida oddballs, including an erudite mob boss, his unhinged son, and a hard-edged young woman who needs Yancy's protection. Meanwhile, Yancy contends with his aging father; unresolved romantic tension with Dr. Rosa Campensino (Natalie Martinez), who launches her own investigation into a mysterious rash; and a bombastic animal relocation specialist whose business threatens the local environment.
