Renewed Or Cancelled?
Bad Monkey is the latest action thriller on Apple, with 10 episodes blending dark comedy and mystery together. So after watching it in its entirety, you may be wondering if this has been renewed or cancelled. Here’s what we know:
What is Bad Monkey about?
Based on Carl Hiaasen’s bestselling novel, Bad Monkey tells the story of Andrew Yancy, who has been kicked out of the Miami Police Department and is now a health inspector in the Keys. But after stumbling upon a case involving a severed arm fished up by tourists, he realizes that if he can prove murder, he’ll be back in. He just needs to find out how all of this ties into the Bahamas, a contractor called Christopher… and one bad monkey.
We have ongoing coverage of Bad Monkey on the site including recaps of every episode. You can find those HERE!
Has Bad Monkey been renewed for season 2?
At the time of writing, Bad Monkey has not been renewed for season 2. Generally Apple would gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate.
With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly. Other times, it can take months before a decision over a show’s future is made.
So far, Bad Monkey has had a mixed reaction from critics and audiences alike, with many commenting (including ourselves) that the pacing is super slow and could have done with being tightened up. Or at least released with multiple episodes a week!
Given the way this show is set up, we’re predicting that this will not be renewed for a second season. The series does have plenty of potential but given the stars at the center of this that are sure to move onto other things, it seems unlikely that this one will be back for a second round.
However, we could be completely wrong, given Apple do love to renew a lot of their shows, so take our prediction with a pinch of salt!
What we know about season 2 so far:
Barely anything is known about season 2 at this point as Apple haven’t officially renewed this one. Should it be renewed, we have some big questions.
Will there be another murder mystery? Will we see Gracie, Yancy and Rosa take on a more prominent role in the show? It seems unlikely but if this series is renewed, we’d expect it to be green-lit with another 10 episode order, and bring back a lot of the old cast too.

Yes! I love this show, it is so different from all the other shows which typically include hospitals or firefighters, no offense but this is a corky upbeat detective show with a lot of sass and it takes a different approach. The storyline is amazing and Vince Vaughn well he is superb! Bring us another season please and thank you! It is the reason I bought apple TV!!!!!
