Bad Monkey Season 2 ditches the Carl Hiaasen novel for an all-new original story

Apple TV+ set Bad Monkey Season 2 for a December 2, 2026 premiere, per Deadline. Season 1 adapted Carl Hiaasen's bestselling novel; Season 2 tells an all-new original story — Yancy witnesses the murder of Florida's finest fixer and teams with a forensic accountant. No source novel means the writers' room has no text to follow.
