Apple TV+ Comedy Bad Monkey Premieres August 14; Mel Brooks HBO Doc
Apple TV+ unveiled the trailer for Bad Monkey, the highly anticipated comedy from award-winning executive producer Bill Lawrence (Ted Lasso, Shrinking) and starring acclaimed actor, producer and screenwriter Vince Vaughn, who also serves as an executive producer. The 10-episode series will premiere globally on Apple TV+ with the first two episodes on August 14, 2024 followed by new episodes every Wednesday through October 9. Based on Carl Hiaasen's New York Times bestselling novel and enduring cult favorite, Bad Monkey tells 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’ll be back in. He just needs to get past a trove of Floridian oddballs and one bad monkey.
The ensemble cast also includes L. Scott Caldwell (Lost), Rob Delaney (Catastrophe), Meredith Hagner (Search Party), Natalie Martinez (Secrets and Lies), Alex Moffat (Saturday Night Live, Holidate), Michelle Monaghan (Gone Baby Gone), Ronald Peet (First Reformed), Jodie Turner-Smith (Queen & Slim), with special guest star John Ortiz (American Fiction) and guest stars Zach Braff (Scrubs), Ashley Nicole Black (Ted Lasso), Scott Glenn (The Leftovers) and Charlotte Lawrence in her television debut.
A two-part documentary about the comedic icon Mel Brooks is currently in production from HBO Documentary Films and Apatow Productions. Emmy®-winners Judd Apatow (HBO's Emmy®-winning The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling) and Michael Bonfiglio are directing with Joe Beshenkovsky editing. The project reunites the trio after their last creative collaboration on HBO's Emmy®-winning documentary George Carlin’s American Dream. Kevin Salter serves as executive producer. An expansive yet intimate look at one of comedy’s most hilarious and influential minds, whose work has had audiences around the world laughing for more than 70 years.
