Adapted from Carl Hiaasen’s New York Times bestselling novel, this series is brought to life by award-winning executive producer Bill Lawrence (Ted Lasso, Scrubs) and follows Andrew Yancy, a former Miami cop turned restaurant inspector after a scandal.

When tourists discover a human arm in the Florida Keys, Yancy’s curiosity takes hold, and the disgraced cop sees an opportunity to reclaim his badge by solving the case and ousting the murderer. The only problem? He must wade through a host of eccentric Floridians like corrupt developers, a voodoo queen, and, of course, one bad monkey.

Bad Monkey launches on Apple TV+ on Wednesday, 14 August.
