Last night at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, Apple TV+ celebrated the world premiere of the highly anticipated comedy series “Bad Monkey,” the new 10-episode based on Carl Hiaasen’s New York Times bestselling novel of the same name. “Bad Monkey” makes its global debut on Apple TV+ this Wednesday, 14 August, 2024, with the first two episodes, followed by new episodes every Wednesday through 9 October.
Attendees at the “Bad Monkey” world premiere included star and executive producer Vince Vaughn, series stars Meredith Hagner, Natalie Martinez, Ronald Peet, Charlotte Lawrence, Michelle Monaghan and creator, showrunner and executive producer Bill Lawrence.
Hailed as an enduring cult-favourite novel by Hiaasen, “Bad Monkey” makes viewers want to root for the dark horse. The series follows Andrew Yancy (Vince Vaughn), a one-time detective demoted to restaurant inspector in the Florida Keys. After stumbling upon a case that begins with a human arm fished up by tourists, he realises that if he can prove murder, he’ll be back in. He just needs to get past a trove of Floridian oddballs and one bad monkey.
Bill Lawrence serves as creator, executive producer and showrunner alongside executive producers Jeff Ingold, Liza Katzer, Matt Tarses and Marcos Siega. Vaughn also serves as executive producer. “Bad Monkey” is produced for Apple TV+ by Warner Bros. Television.
