Will ‘Bad Monkey’ get a season 2 at Apple TV+?
The show is based on a book of the same name that has a sequel
Vince Vaughn in Bad Monkey

Apple TV+ is slowly but surely building a library of interesting TV projects. Bad Monkey, which aired earlier this year on the streamer, was just one example, adapting a novel of the same name and bringing in Vince Vaughn to star.

Now, Variety is reporting that the show will be back for a second season. There is a sequel to the original novel, which was written by Carl Hiaasen, titled Razor Girl, but Variety's reporting suggests that the second season will not be based on that novel. In spite of that creative departure, creator Bill Lawrence said he has nothing but admiration for Hiaasen.

Get up to date on everything we know about The White Lotus season 3
Theo James and Meghann Fahy in White Lotus

When the first season of The White Lotus premiered in 2021, few could have suspected that it would become one of the best shows on HBO and Max. Even series creator Mike White considered The White Lotus to be a six-episode one-off story. But viewer response to this dark comedy show was so strong that White and HBO realized that they had a hit on their hands. That's why the series was quickly renewed, and the second season premiered on HBO and Max in 2022, just a little over a year after the first season.

The White Lotus season 3 was confirmed in November 2022, and fans have had to wait over two years for its return. Audiences can finally expect the series to be on their screens again shortly after the calendar flips to 2025. We're gradually getting little tidbits about season 3. We're sharing everything we know about The White Lotus season 3, which includes most of the cast, the theme, and the setting, as well as when fans can expect the show to return.
