Bad Monkey is an excellent Apple TV comedy from creator Bill Lawrence, of Ted Lasso and Shrinking fame—and it returns soon for a new season. Here are the details.
Bad Monkey season 2 premieres December 2
Bill Lawrence has become one of the most prolific hitmakers in TV comedy of late. He’s not new to the genre, with prior successes including Scrubs and Cougar Town.
But in the streaming era, Lawrence has been behind hits like Ted Lasso, Shrinking, HBO’s Rooster, and the Vince Vaughn comedy Bad Monkey.
Shrinking aired earlier this year, Ted Lasso is airing now, and Apple has just announced that Bad Monkey is about to return for a new season.
Bad Monkey season 2 premieres Wednesday, December 2 with its first episode, followed by weekly releases through February 3.
Here’s the official plot summary:
Vince Vaughn stars in the series, and is joined in season 2 by John Malkovich among others.
If you haven’t seen Bad Monkey, it has a very different, somewhat darker tone than Lawrence’s other comedies. But it’s very much worth a watch. And if you’re not a fan of Lasso or Shrinking’s ‘heartwarming’ vibes, you might still enjoy Bad Monkey.
Bad Monkey season 1 is available here on Apple TV.
