John Malkovich plays Spencer, a criminal leader in South Florida, in Bad Monkey season two, continuing the series' original story based on Carl Hiaasen's novel.
- On August 27, Deadline reported that John Malkovich joins Bad Monkey season two as a series regular, playing Spencer, the head of a major South Florida criminal organization.

- Lawrence has long-term plans, having pitched a three-season arc that includes a possible return to Razor Girl, with Carl Hiaasen consulting on the show.
