[Satire] ‘Bad Monkey’: John Malkovich Joins Season 2 As Series Regular

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.
  • Rather than adapting Razor Girl, season two will follow an original story, and Bill Lawrence said many core characters from season one including Andrew Yancy are expected to remain.
  • Bill Lawrence's Doozer Productions develops Bad Monkey based on Carl Hiaasen's novel, with Vince Vaughn returning as series lead and executive producer and several first-season cast members expected to return.
  • No release date has been set, and John Malkovich's casting follows the show's surprise hit summer 2024 run, likely boosting fan interest before production starts toward the end of September 2025.
  • 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.
