Is season 2 on the cards?

At the time of writing, Apple has not renewed Bad Monkey for a second season.

Vince Vaughn, however, has expressed interest in returning for more episodes. Speaking in an interview with Paul McGuire Grimes, the actor said “there’s always that possibility” for another season as there is a sequel novel, titled Razor Girl, which could be adapted.

“I think there would definitely be the possibility of another situation potentially,” he added.
