Bad Monkey Season 2: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
Apple TV+'s Bad Monkey took viewers by storm in 2024 with its quirky blend of crime, comedy, and South Florida charm. Starring Vince Vaughn as the sharp-witted ex-detective Andrew Yancy, the show, based on Carl Hiaasen's bestselling novel, has been renewed for a second season, leaving fans eager for more sun-soaked mysteries. If you're wondering about Bad Monkey Season 2's release date, cast, plot, and more, here's everything we know so far. Bad Monkey Season 2 Release Date Speculation
While Apple TV+ confirmed the renewal of Bad Monkey for Season 2 in December 2024, an official release date has yet to be announced. Based on industry patterns and production timelines, speculation points to a potential premiere in late 2025 or early 2026. Bad Monkey Season 2 Expected Cast Vince Vaughn as Andrew Yancy (Confirmed)
Todd Allen Clendenin as Claspers (Likely, based on showrunner comments)
L. Scott Caldwell as Dr. Rosa Campesino (Unconfirmed, possible cameo)
Natalie Martinez as Rosa (Unconfirmed, potential return as love interest)
New Characters (TBD, expected for fresh storyline) Bad Monkey Season 2 Potential Plot
The first season of Bad Monkey adapted Carl Hiaasen's 2013 novel, following Andrew Yancy as he investigated a severed arm and uncovered a web of greed, corruption, and environmental destruction in Florida and the Bahamas. With the novel's story concluded, Season 2 was initially expected to adapt Hiaasen's 2016 sequel, Razor Girl , which sees Yancy tackling a new mystery involving a con artist named Merry Mansfield and a kidnapped talent agent. However, showrunner Bill Lawrence recently revealed a shift in plans: Season 2 will feature an original storyline inspired by Hiaasen's style rather than a direct adaptation of Razor Girl .

Dakota Johnson-Pedro Pascal rom-com 'Materialists' now on VOD
1 of 5 | Dakota Johnson, seen at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, stars in "Materialists."

UPI praised writer/director Celine Song's film in its review, highlighting her poignant take on the contradictions of turning love into a for-profit service. The focus on matchmaking also challenged some of the conventions of Hollywood love stories. Materialists will be on Blu-ray in September. The Blu-ray is available for pre-order.

'Ted Lasso' Season 4 Casting Update—Phil Dunster
By now you've probably heard the news that Apple TV+'s breakout comedy Ted Lasso is coming back for a season 4. You might even be aware that season 4 has already started filming, with many lead cast members returning. But it's not all good news. Based on the cast news, it looks like Phil Dunster isn't returning for Ted Lasso season 4. And while I am in mourning, I can't help but wonder what this could mean for Roy and Keeley. Phil, who starred in the series as the bad boy of AFC Richmond Jamie Tartt, reportedly doesn't have a Ted Lasso season 4 deal—at least, not yet. It's still completely possible that Phil—and fellow OG cast member Nick Mohammed—will reach some kind of deal to reprise his role in some capacity, but given that they've already started production, it just probably wouldn't be as a series regular. The actor's absence from season 4 would be sad, yes, but it's not all bad. In fact, this might be the best thing that has happened to Roy and Keeley shippers in years. Unlike Phil, stars Juno Temple and Brett Goldstein have both been confirmed for the season, which means their respective characters, Keeley and Roy, could get another shot at love. Keeley, Roy, and Jamie ended Ted Lasso season 3 still stuck in an unresolved love triangle (or a budding throuple, depending on which fans you ask). And as a Roy-Keeley shipper, I would be lying if I said that Jamie's absence in season 4 wasn't giving me some hope that we'll get to see the Roy F**king Kent and Keeley Jones be the power couple they were always meant to be. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly in 2023—long before season 4 was ever confirmed—Brett, who is also a writer on the show, confessed that he could see Roy and Keeley getting back together in an imaginary future. 'I like the fact that some things aren't resolved so that I can dream what I wanna dream,' he said at the time. 'Now, in my dream, there's a lot of Roy and Keeley, and there's a lot of Roy, Keeley, and Jamie.' He continued, 'In my dream version, if it's a throuple, it's mostly Roy and Keeley, but Jamie joins in occasionally.' Sounds like a perfect guest spot, if you ask me.

‘Ted Lasso' Season 4 Filming Underway Without This Fan-Favorite Star
"Ted Lasso" Season 3 Ted Lasso Season 4 is officially in production, marking the start of a new chapter for the 13-time Emmy-winning comedy. While many O.G.s are set to return, there are still questions surrounding some of the show's other fan-favorite stars, including Phil Dunster (aka the one and only Jamie Tartt). Back in March, Apple TV+ confirmed that Ted Lasso will return for a fourth season. Jason Sudeikis, who co-created the show with Brendan Hunt, Joe Kelly, and Bill Lawrence, will reprise his role and continue to serve as an executive producer for the upcoming installment. On Monday, July 21, Apple TV+ revealed that the show had begun filming in Kansas City, MO, with additional filming set to take place in London. The streamer also shared the first behind-the-scenes clip from Season 4 on social media. The video, with the caption "We're not in Richmond anymore," shows Ted, Keeley, Rebecca and Leslie sitting together in a booth at a restaurant. After the scene begins, the screen fades to black, revealing that Season 4 is officially in production, as the sounds of the characters enjoying their food play in the background. The clip's filming location in Kansas City, rather than across the pond, suggests that Ted's closest pals have traveled to the States, perhaps to convince him to coach Richmond's women's team. After all, Season 3 ended with Ted returning to his Midwestern hometown and Keeley presenting Rebecca with the idea of launching a women's club in Richmond. Apple TV+ and Sudeikis confirmed that Ted will be coaching a women's club in Season 4. 'Ted returns to Richmond, taking on his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women's football team," the official logline reads. "Throughout the course of the season, Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would.' In the first-look clip for season four, we only see four cast members, but what about the rest? Here's the latest on which stars are returning so far. Which Ted Lasso Cast Members Are Confirmed to Return In Season 4? First look at "Ted Lasso" Season 4. In addition to Sudeikis, it has now been confirmed that original cast members Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, and Jeremy Swift will also reprise their roles for Season 4. They'll be joined by several new cast members in Season 4, including Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern, and Grant Feely. While character details haven't been revealed, Feely will take over the role of Henry Lasso, Ted's son, according to Variety. Which Ted Lasso Cast Members Haven't Been Confirmed for Season 4? "Ted Lasso" Season 3 While some fan favorites have been confirmed, the fate of other beloved characters is still up in the air — including Dunster, who portrayed AFC Richmond footballer Jamie Tartt. Last August, Deadline and Puck News reported that Dunster had not yet been picked up for the series due to scheduling conflicts. The British actor currently stars in two series, Prime Video's The Devil's Hour and Apple's Surface Additionally, there's been no word on the involvement of the following Season 3 cast members in Season 4: There's always a chance that, even if they're not brought on as series regulars, they could still appear in a recurring or guest role. Nick Mohammed, who portrays Nate Shelley, previously expressed interest in returning to the show before the renewal was finalized. 'Yeah, of course. I mean, it was such a gift of a show, we all feel so grateful for being a part of it. I'd love to do some more at some point, but then, equally, it came to a satisfying conclusion in terms of stories for a lot of them, a lot of the characters,' he told Radio Times. Apple TV+ has yet to announce a release date for Season 4, though the next season isn't expected to premiere until 2026 or 2027. Stay tuned for more details. All three seasons of Ted Lasso are streaming on Apple TV+.
