John Malkovich Joins Bad Monkey Season 2 as Series Regular

The Apple TV+ series Bad Monkey, starring Vince Vaughn as Andrew Yancy, is set to return for a second season featuring an original story rather than an adaptation of Carl Hiaasen’s second novel, Razor Girl. John Malkovich has been cast as Spencer, the leader of a major South Florida criminal organization, joining Vaughn and potentially other returning cast members like Natalie Martinez. Showrunner Bill Lawrence emphasized that while Razor Girl will be adapted in a future season, Season 2 will focus on core characters from the first season with input from Hiaasen himself. Production for the new season is expected to begin late in 2025, with no official release date announced yet. Executive producers include Vaughn, Lawrence, and others from Doozer Productions, underscoring the show's blend of crime, wit, and redemption arcs. Malkovich, an acclaimed actor with extensive film and TV credits, adds significant star power to the upcoming season.
