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 .

Carousel house saved from former Williams Grove amusement park grounds
WILLIAMS GROVE, Pa. (WHTM) — A 101-year-old carousel house was moved from a former amusement park Friday. The Williams Grove Historical Steam Engine Association will eventually bring it onto their property. The carousel was a major component of the former Williams Grove Amusement Park that closed 20 years ago. Now, it's on its way to be restored. 'To be able to take the last piece of remaining of history out of the park and move it over here to restore it seemed like the right thing to do,' Dale Bentz, vice president of the association, said. 'Recreating history and preserving history, you only have one shot at it.'

Originally appeared on E! Online Felicity Huffman is excited to take another trip down Wisteria Lane. The Desperate Housewives alum shared that she was thrilled to learn that a new series following a new group of residents is in the works. In fact, a big draw for her is that Kerry Washington is set to executive produce the spinoff, titled Wisteria Lane. "I'm completely 100 percent behind it," Felicity told E! News in an exclusive interview that aired May 29. "Kerry Washington—it's so great that she's doing it with women of color. It's exactly what's needed." And Felicity isn't only amped about the show's premise, which focuses on an eclectic group of neighbors hiding secrets beneath the surface of their picture-perfect, Instagram-friendly lives. The 62-year-old also expressed feeling hopeful that original creator Marc Cherry will return to help bring the story to life in some capacity. "I think Marc Cherry, who created it and is brilliant, is involved," she said. "So, it's going to be a great ride." More from E! Online Cardi B Breaks Down Cost of Her Kids' Nanny, Private Chef, Driver and More Machine Gun Kelly's New Photo With His and Megan Fox's Baby Girl Deserves All the Flowers Cardi B Reveals Name of Baby No. 3 With Offset After all, Felicity believes the screenwriter crafted such a unique tone with the original series, which ran from 2004 to 2012 and also starred , , and . "Marc Cherry has a very specific voice, and that singular voice resonated with people," Felicity explained. "And the way he created those women's friendships—the friendship is key." Another project the Good Lawyer star is looking forward to seeing on screen? Her two-part Lifetime movie The Thirteenth Wife: Escaping Polygamy, which premieres May 31 and June 1 on the channel at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. For Felicity, the film—which is based on the real-life story of Rena Chynoweth, who was forced to become the 13th wife of polygamist cult leader Ervil LaBaron—is guaranteed to be a "rollercoaster" for viewers. "It's really important to watch it," she shared. "A cult from the outside, you look and you go, 'Oh, I'd never believe that.' But from the inside, when you're indoctrinated by your community and by your family, you start to believe outlandish, crazy things." Felicity added, "So, it's engaging, but I think we need to hear these stories as well."

Lester Holt Signs Off as NBC Nightly News Anchor — Will You Miss Him?
Lester Holt has officially left the anchor's chair. The veteran newsman delivered his final broadcast as the anchor of NBC Nightly News on Friday, and as usual, the bulk of the half-hour was devoted to delivering the day's news. Holt did take time at the end, however, to commemorate his time behind the desk: 'As an anchor, it's been an honor to lead this program, and an honor to be welcomed into your homes. I'm so grateful for your trust.' More from TVLine Liev Schreiber, Stephen Graham and Zazie Beetz to Star in Apple TV+ Adaptation of Lars Kepler's Joona Linna Crime Novels As Doctor Odyssey's Fate Hangs in the Balance, Joshua Jackson Thanks John Oliver for Viral Season 2 Renewal Plea Netflix's The Gentlemen Reveals Full Season 2 Cast as Filming Begins in UK Holt added that 'around here, facts matter, words matters, journalism matters… and you matter.' He brought out the entire Nightly News staff to join him on stage, and he urged viewers: 'Please continue to take care of yourself and each other, and I'll do the same.' That led into a montage of Holt's most memorable moments as anchor, including touring the sites of natural disasters and interviewing newsmakers. When the montage ended, Holt was clearly emotional as he said: 'It has been quite a ride. Thanks, everybody.' Holt announced in February that he was stepping down as NBC Nightly News anchor, a role he's held since 2015. Moving forward, he will focus on NBC News' Dateline, which he has anchored since 2011. 'After 10 years, 17 if you include my years on the weekends, the time has come for me to step away from my role as anchor of Nightly News,' Holt said in a statement to NBC staffers. 'It has truly been the honor of a lifetime to work with each of you every day, keeping journalism as our true north and our viewers at the center of everything we do.' Holt will be replaced by Tom Llamas, whose ascension to the Nightly News anchor chair was first reported in March. Llamas has served as a senior national correspondent for NBC News and reported for NBC Nightly News alongside Holt. He also anchored Top Story with Tom Llamas, a daily primetime newscast for NBC News NOW, and contributed to various NBC News outlets, including Today. His first broadcast as NBC Nightly News anchor airs this Monday, June 2. Will you miss Holt? Let us know what you think of NBC's big anchor swap in a comment below.
