AMERICAN drama Bad Monkey is set to release on Apple TV+ on August 14.

Series developer Bill Lawrence is an American television producer, screenwriter and director. He is known for creating the medical sitcom Scrubs among many others.
In an interview, Bill expressed how the crime action series serves as a different genre than what he is known for. However, he gravitated towards developing the series due to his love of the novel and the author, who used to be his favourite as a child.
“It’s just a goofy, fun, rompy caper thing in the Keys in Florida. I hope it works. I feel unsure of myself, but the cast, I got lucky,” he added.
Born and raised in Florida, reporter and author Carl is known for his funny yet cathartic novels.
The writer has received numerous honours, including the Damon Runyon Award from the Denver Press Club and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Society of Newspaper Columnists.
