It will be based on a new, original story.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tCreated by Bill Lawrence (Scrubs, Ted Lasso, Shrinking), Bad Monkey is based on Carl Hiaasen\u2019s novel of the same name. \u201cSeason one\u00a0tells the story of Andrew Yancy (Vaughn), who has been bounced from the Miami Police Department and is now a health inspector in the Keys. But after stumbling upon a case that begins with a human arm fished up by tourists, he realizes that if he can prove murder, he\u2019ll be back in. He just needs to get past a trove of Floridian oddballs and one bad monkey,\u201d reads the synopsis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThe Fantastic Four: First Steps actor will play Spencer, the leader of a big criminal organization in South Florida. Bad Monkey\u2018s season one cast also included L.

It\u2019s challenging right now to make shows, and especially to pick up your life and go make it. [Vaughn and I] both moved to Florida! It was insane,\u201d Lawrence said. \u201cI think what\u2019s cool, if we were able to do it, is that you have these season-long stories [where] you get caught up in characters\u2019 lives. You see redemption stories, descents into the dark side for other characters, and that story gets told.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tIn addition to Vaughn, Lawrence and his Doozer Productions, Jeff Ingold, Matt Tarses, Liza Katzer and\u00a0Adam Sztykiel\u00a0also serve as executive producers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tA release date for season two has not yet been announced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"John Malkovich has joined Bad Monkey season two.
