Today, Apple TV+ released the trailer for “Bad Monkey,” the much-anticipated comedy from award-winning producer Bill Lawrence (“Ted Lasso,” “Shrinking”). The show stars Vince Vaughn, who is also an executive producer. The 10-episode series will premiere globally on Apple TV+, with the first two episodes on August 14, 2024.

“Bad Monkey” is based on Carl Hiaasen’s bestselling novel. It tells the story of Andrew Yancy (Vaughn), who was kicked out of the Miami Police Department and now works as a health inspector in the Florida Keys. When tourists find a human arm, Yancy sees a chance to get his old job back if he can prove it was murder. But first, he must deal with a bunch of quirky Floridians and one troublesome monkey.
The cast of “Bad Monkey” includes L. Scott Caldwell (“The Fugitive”), Rob Delaney (“Catastrophe”), Meredith Hagner (“Search Party”), Natalie Martinez (“Ordinary Joe,” “Reminiscence”), Alex Moffat (“Saturday Night Live,” “Holidate”), Michelle Monaghan (“Gone Baby Gone”), Ronald Peet (“First Reformed”), Jodie Turner-Smith (“Queen & Slim”), with special guest star John Ortiz (“American Fiction”) and guest stars Zach Braff (“Scrubs”), Ashley Nicole Black (“Ted Lasso”), Scott Glenn (“The Leftovers”), and Charlotte Lawrence in her TV debut.
Produced by Warner Bros. Television, “Bad Monkey” is developed by executive producer and showrunner Bill Lawrence through his Doozer Productions. Other executive producers include Jeff Ingold, Matt Tarses (“Scrubs”), Marcos Siega, Vince Vaughn, and Liza Katzer.
“Bad Monkey” is the latest collaboration between Bill Lawrence and Warner Bros. Television for Apple TV+, following hit series “Shrinking” and “Ted Lasso.”
