Vince Vaughn Stars in New Apple TV+ Crime Drama "Bad Monkey" Premiering August 14

Apple TV+ is quickly becoming a powerhouse of high-quality series and movies, making a strong case for viewers to consider switching from other streaming services. With a diverse range of original content continually being released, Apple TV+ is setting a new standard in the streaming industry.

In line with this effort, the platform is gearing up to launch another drama series featuring Vince Vaughn in the lead role. This new show will see Vaughn portraying a former detective who has transitioned into the role of a health inspector. During his routine inspection duties in the Florida Keys, he becomes entangled in a bewildering murder case, bringing a unique mix of intrigue and crime to the storyline. Imagine Road House but stripped of its martial arts sequences and muscle-bound characters.

Titled Bad Monkey, this series is slated to make its debut on Apple TV+ on August 14. The trailer for the show is already out, offering a glimpse into the thrilling plot. Bad Monkey draws its narrative from Carl Hiaasen's New York Times bestselling novel, celebrated for its enduring popularity.

The story revolves around Andrew Yancy, Vaughn's character, a former member of the Miami Police Department who has landed himself a job as a health inspector in the Keys. His mundane duties take a dramatic turn when a human arm is discovered by tourists, leading Yancy on a quest to prove it's a murder. If successful, this could be Yancy's ticket back into law enforcement. However, he must navigate through a maze of quirky Floridian residents and a troublesome monkey to solve the case.
