Aubrey Plaza starred in The White Lotus Season 2, but the star has not seen herself in the series almost two years after it aired on HBO.
Due to technical difficulties, the Parks and Recreation alum says she hasn’t seen the Mike White-created series.
“I still haven’t, but I’m going to,” Plaza said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. “To be honest, I had trouble opening my HBO Max account when I was trying to watch it originally. I couldn’t figure out the password and I usually just give up when I can’t figure out the passwords. I just can’t handle things like that.”
Plaza said that she has requested DVDs of the series to watch it, adding, “I’d love a DVD, but they don’t send DVD sets anymore. I ask them every time.”

Fargo is one of the most brilliant and weird series that has probably ever been made. While the series is brilliant and gets better with each season, the wait between each season is very long because the creator Noah Hawley is attached to many projects, and he doesn’t have much time to create new seasons every year. So, if you love the surreal humor, psychological thriller, and crime drama aspects of Fargo here are some similar shows you should check out next.

Everyone knows Apple TV+ for Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, and Severance. There have been a few other popular TV shows sprinkled in over the last few years. Presumed Innocent starring Jake Gyllenhaal had some good buzz recently. Despite Apple TV+’s substantial investment into the TV business, it’s still looking for mainstream hits.
And, let me be clear. I am a fan of Apple TV+. I appreciate how many TV shows with huge stars the streamer is cranking out these days, but it’s just so odd that almost no one is talking about these great shows!
I put together a list of the four most underrated shows on Apple TV+ that you need to watch right now!

After claiming the top spot in Netflix’s English Film list with The Union, Mark Wahlberg is back in the news for a different project that brings him back to Apple. Wahlberg is teaming up with Stephen Chbosky for Weekend Warriors, a comedic sports drama written and directed by Chbosky. Multiple studios tried to snag the rights to this one, but Apple Original Films took the pot. Mark Wahlberg stars in Weekend Warriors, with Plan B and The SpringHill Company producing.
Weekend Warriors takes inspiration from the 2023 feature Weekend Rebels, an original German-language sports comedy focusing on the true story of Mirco and Jason von Juterzcenka. The plot revolves around a father and his autistic son, who wants to find his favorite soccer club in the Premier League by forcing his dad to take him to see every team so he can decide.

Like Rian Johnson’s Knives Out Mysteries franchise, casting for Mike White’s The White Lotus is always an event. Fans love to speculate who could join the cast of White’s award-winning series, and now Conan O’Brien wants to put his fiery red quaff in the ring. According to legend, O’Brien bumped into White in a restaurant, and the two started talking about The White Lotus Season 3. O’Brien offered to appear on the show, wanting to be a part of White’s hit project, though his proposed role could raise an eyebrow or two.
Speaking with Walton Goggins for episode 19 of Conan’s podcast, Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, the former late-night host recapped his run-in with White, telling Goggins, “Before you guys started shooting The White Lotus, I ran into none other than Mike White in a restaurant.

Welcome back to another riveting episode of “funny looking tall man attracts beautiful women with his questionable humor.” Otherwise known as Bad Monkey.
I’m not suggesting the series is one formulaic cliche after another. I’m actively typing it at the top of my lungs.
That said, Bad Monkey is a genuinely funny show with a lot going for it beyond Vince Vaughn.
(Courtesy of Apple TV+)
As the story develops alongside another, this series is taking its time before the two intertwine.
While it was a questionable decision initially, it’s becoming clear why that was the best route. The series can fully flesh out the major characters before things get crazy.
Although, I don’t know how much time Vince Vaughn needs to develop a character based on Vince Vaughn.

Late night host Conan O’Brien is hoping creator Mike White will give him a role in the third season of hit HBO series “The White Lotus.” O’Brien revealed he approached White over a year ago about being in the new season, which is filming in Thailand. While speaking on his podcast, O’Brien shared he ran into White during a trip to Bangkok in 2021.
Knowing the show was shooting its next installment in Southeast Asia, O’Brien saw an opportunity. “I said ‘If there’s a part for me, I’m available,'” O’Brien recalled telling White. However, the role White proposed was unconventional – that of a male escort. According to O’Brien, White mentioned “there’s a lot of sex work there” in Thailand. As a joke, O’Brien responded he could take on such a part.

What’s summer without a breezy, paradise-set murder-mystery? Enter Bad Monkey, an adaptation of Carl Hiaasen’s bestselling cult novel and the latest effort from Ted Lasso and Shrinking creator Bill Lawrence. With a similarly quirky blend of eccentrics as those shows, this ten-episode dark comedy joins the swelling roster of murder-mystery shows on Apple TV+.
Channelling the likes of Dexter and Death In Paradise, this is a solidly entertaining crime-solving caper which trades heavily in nicely gripping twists and turns, as it delves deep into the greed and corruption in both the Florida Keys and The Bahamas. What begins as a local case involving a severed limb discovered on a fishing trip quickly balloons into an increasingly absurd investigation, complete with cons, Russian mobs, crooked cops and voodoo magic. Some viewers, it’s fair to say, may need to suspend a fair bit of disbelief as that ridiculousness escalates.

MaXXXine was released in theaters back in July 2024, and it ended up being another box office hit for Ti West's X trilogy. It managed to gross a worldwide total of $20.9 million, making it the highest-grossing movie of the series. But while most people got the chance to see it when it was in theaters, some people didn't. If you're one of those who didn't, we have some good news to share.
MaXXXine will eventually be available to stream on a streaming service. That streaming service is Max. Why Max and not another streaming platform, you ask? Well, it's because of a deal that Warner Bros. Discovery and A24 have in place. If you didn't know, MaXXXine is an A24 movie, and Warner Bros. Discovery owns Max. Per the deal, all theatrically released A24 films are to head to HBO, Max, and Cinemax after their theatrical runs.

The first two episodes of Bad Monkey are now streaming on Apple TV+ and give audiences much to unpack. Let’s recap by highlighting the key events. Spoilers ahead!
Bad Monkey’s premiere episode gets right down to business. The severed arm is found by an immature fisher and the authorities at Key West, Florida, want to keep this as underwraps to avoid media attention and panic from tourists. The arm is handed over to Detective Ro (John Ortiz), who takes it to Andrew Yancy (Vince Vaughn), a suspended detective down on his luck. You see, Yancy had an affair with Bonnie (Michelle Monaghan) and things didn’t go well when Bonnie’s husband caught them together.
An angry Yancy decided the best thing to do is push Bonnie’s husband, who was minding his own business sitting in his golf cart, into the ocean…in front of dozens of witnesses.

This Bad Monkey review contains no spoilers.
There’s a lot going on in Apple TV+’s new comedy Bad Monkey, and the titular monkey is the least of it. In the first episode alone, we’re introduced to a severed arm in a cooler, an acrimonious real-estate feud, a boho-chic chick with a questionable past, a heaping dose of witchcraft, and gorgeous views as far as the eye can see. Based on the cult classic novel Bad Monkey by Carl Hiaasen, the show splits its time between Miami, Key West, and the island of Andros in the Bahamas. The relaxed beach atmosphere, combined with an audaciously quirky cast of characters and ongoing cat-and-mouse detective game, makes for an irresistible end-of-summer escape.
Vince Vaughn is at the center of the controlled insanity. He plays Andrew Yancy, a Hiaasen fan-favorite character. As the series opens, Yancy is on mandatory leave from...

How Vince Vaughn and Bill Lawrence’s 25-Year Friendship Led to the Apple TV+ Cop Comedy ‘Bad Monkey’
Vince Vaughn first met Bill Lawrence more than 25 years ago, so when cop comedy “Bad Monkey” came around, the actor jumped at the opportunity to finally work together.
“We just laughed a lot,” Vaughn told Variety at the Apple TV+ show’s premiere on Monday night. About collaborating with the “Spin City” and “Ted Lasso” hitmaker, Vaughn added: “He’s got such good ideas. He welcomes ideas. It was easy.”
It’s hardly a surprise things worked out so well, since Lawrence has made a bit of a habit of working with friends and family. At this stage in his career, “it’s just so fun to work with the people you want to spend time with,” he said, as his daughter, singer-songwriter Charlotte Lawrence, walked past him on the sand-colored carpet outside the Hammer Museum in Westwood.
Lawrence was initially apprehensive about casting her in the show, though he knew she had the chops.
“We just laughed a lot,” Vaughn told Variety at the Apple TV+ show’s premiere on Monday night. About collaborating with the “Spin City” and “Ted Lasso” hitmaker, Vaughn added: “He’s got such good ideas. He welcomes ideas. It was easy.”
It’s hardly a surprise things worked out so well, since Lawrence has made a bit of a habit of working with friends and family. At this stage in his career, “it’s just so fun to work with the people you want to spend time with,” he said, as his daughter, singer-songwriter Charlotte Lawrence, walked past him on the sand-colored carpet outside the Hammer Museum in Westwood.

Bad Monkey isn’t just the title of Vince Vaughn’s new Apple TV+ series; the phrase could also apply to his primate scene partner, according to the actor.
Crystal the Monkey — who has more than 30 credits to her name, including The Hangover Part II and Night at the Museum — plays the titular monkey in the show, which is adapted from Carl Hiaasen’s 2013 book of the same name. It follows a former Miami detective Andrew Yancy (Vaughn) who is demoted to a restaurant inspector in the Florida Keys; an unusual new case might get him back in the department if he can get past an odd cast of characters and one monkey.
Though Vaughn admitted Crystal is “a talented monkey,” he jokingly told The Hollywood Reporter at the show’s Los Angeles premiere on Monday, “I’ll never work with that one again. Talk about sucking up all the oxygen on a set,...

Walton Goggins is gearing up for his next big role following his Emmy nomination for playing The Ghoul in Fallout with a stay at The White Lotus for season three. But he learned the hard way that a stay at the luxurious resort comes with a steep price in real life, as well.
While appearing on The Late Show, Goggins shared that he had just returned from Thailand after shooting The White Lotus‘ third season for the past six months. Host Stephen Colbert tried his best to get the actor to share any details about HBO’s hit series’ latest installment, with no luck at getting spoilers.
“I can’t tell you about the story of the character that I’m playing because I think [creator] Mike White would literally take one of us out,” said Goggins. However, he did share a surprising story from shooting the show.

The hero wanders through his scenes, casually purposeful. His shirts fit like they were tailored for him, even though nothing about his particular kind of attractiveness suggests that he’s fussed over it. He keeps up a steady, teasing patter; the characters who aren’t his friends reveal themselves in their inability to keep up with him. When he finds himself in mortal danger, he quickly shakes it off. When a sexy lady crosses his path, he flirts exactly enough to intrigue her. What makes him cool, above all, is that we can tell coolness isn’t something he’s ever bothered to think about: his every move seems effortless. But if leading a show like Bad Monkey really were as easy as Vince Vaughn makes it look, everyone would do it.

The Florida Keys is paradise on earth. As long as you ignore the crime, the corruption, the eccentric locals and some issues involving a pet monkey in a mini diaper. After a fisherman pulls a severed arm from the water (one that’s flipping the bird), the authorities want the problem disposed of immediately. Andrew Yancy (Vince Vaughn), a detective on suspension due to an unfortunate incident involving his girlfriend’s husband, is tasked with dumping the limb. He senses that not all right is in this case, and soon he finds himself on the hunt for a possible murderer. Cue the treacherous family members, a gorgeous coroner assistant, a real estate scheme in the Caribbean, voodoo queens and, yes, one misbehaving primate.
Apple TV+’s “Bad Monkey” brings together TV maven Bill Lawrence of “Scrubs” and “Ted Lasso” fame and Carl Hiaasen, perhaps the most beloved comedy crime writer in America.

Vince Vaughn knows who he is by now. He excels at playing the motormouthed scamp, a role he’s perfected over the past three decades in big-screen comedies like Swingers and Wedding Crashers. (The less said about his ill-advised detour to play a somber crime boss in the misfire that was Season 2 of True Detective, the better.) He’s back in his wheelhouse here, and in fine form, as the star of the new Apple TV+ mystery comedy Bad Monkey, premiering this Wednesday. (I’ve seen the first three episodes.) It’s a sleazy, sweaty Florida noir with a cast...

Plot: The story of Andrew Yancy, who has been bounced from the Miami Police Department and is now a health inspector in the Keys. But after stumbling upon a case that begins with a human arm fished up by tourists, he realizes that if he can prove murder, he’ll be back in. He just needs to get past a trove of Floridian oddballs and one bad monkey.
Review: The last time Vince Vaughn starred in a mystery series for television, the result was the divisive second season of True Detective. Playing a fully dramatic role was nothing new for the versatile Vaughn, but the mixed reception pushed the actor back to the big screen. Aside from a recurring role in the final seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Vince Vaughn has stayed away from television until now.

So far this year, Apple TV+’s Presumed Innocent, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, is one of my favorite series. This is why I’m so excited to see what the streaming platform has in store, next! And that’s Bad Monkey, a crime drama starring Vince Vaughn. Don’t want to miss it, either? We’re here to help!
Apple TV+ is on a winning streak! I was able to screen Bad Monkey ahead of its release date and love what I have seen so far and know you will, too! From the synopsis to the episode release schedule, here’s everything you need to know so you don’t miss out.
Bad Monkey follows Andrew Yancy (Vaughn), a restaurant inspector down on his luck. For starters, Yancy used to be a detective in the middle of all the action, so to say he is in a drastically different career is an understatement.

It’s been nearly 30 years since Vince Vaughn first exploded onto movie screens as Trent, the slick, confident best friend to Jon Favreau’s Mikey in Swingers, who was forever convinced that a trip to Las Vegas could solve any emotional problem. In the decades since, Vaughn has never lost that irrepressible presence, though some projects have taken better advantage of those gifts than others. Age comes for all of us, so it seems appropriate that in his latest role, as Florida cop Andrew Yancy in Apple’s Bad Monkey,...

To lift a title from kids’ novelist Wilson Rawls, this has become the Summer of the Monkeys.
Before we get to HBO’s Chimp Crazy and Netflix’s Secret Lives of Orangutans, devotees of the simian arts will be treated to Apple TV+’s Bad Monkey, a Carl Hiaasen adaptation from the streamer’s comedy patron saint, Bill Lawrence (Ted Lasso, Shrinking).
Contrary to the show and novel’s name, the eponymous monkey is not, in fact, bad. Played by veteran animal thespian Crystal — you know her from Community, The Fabelmans and more — she is, in fact, quite good, reliable for reactive cutaways or wild, furry hijinks. She (actually, Crystal is playing a character who seems to identify as male, but we are not going down the path of monkey pronouns here) doesn’t always feel particularly connected to the plot of Bad Monkey, but it’s charming and fun just to have her around.

Andrew Yancy (Vince Vaughn), the big-hearted, fast-talking cop at the center of Bad Monkey, has a way of stumbling into trouble. Based on Carl Hiassen’s 2013 bestselling novel of the same name, the series begins with a severed arm turning up in a tourist’s sport-fishing catch off the Florida Keys. Yancy’s boss, Sheriff Sonny Summers (Todd Allen Durkin), wants to avoid the hassle of an investigation and offers Yancy—who’s been suspended for assaulting the husband of his sometime girlfriend, Bonnie (Michelle Monaghan)—a deal: If he wants his badge back, he must make the arm (and the case) disappear.
The plan is upended when a suspicious woman named Eve Stripling (Meredith Hagner) turns up, tearfully claiming that the arm belongs to her late husband. Yancy’s curiosity is piqued, and what follows is a multi-plot romp involving insurance fraud, illegal property development in the Bahamas, and...

Bill Lawrence and Jason Segel’s Shrinking returns for season 2 on Apple TV in October, and here are the details.
According to Deadline, Apple has confirmed that the Shrinking season 2 will begin on the 15th October.
Bill Lawrence is probably best known for creating Scrubs, the wonderful hospital sitcom which ran for nine seasons from 2002 to 2009. It showcased Lawrence’s skill in weaving incredible pathos through a show crammed with jokes – My Lunch from season 5 may just be one of the best examples of this in any sitcom – and he has only gone from strength to strengh.
After six seasons of Cougar Town starring Courtney Cox, he co-created Ted Lasso with Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt, which soon became a global phenomenon due to its mix of hope, kindness and uncynical humour.
That brings us to Shrinking, which he co-created with Jason Segel and Ted Lasso star Brett Goldstein.

A film that you will enjoy more the more cinephile you are and, if you have lived the eighties, the better. A profound tribute to cinema and the deep conviction of its author, Ti West, in his own talent.
A new kind of Quentin Tarantino who pays homage to everything, who seems to have seen it all and who, like Wes Craven, allows himself to make a self-aware horror film that ultimately reflects on horror cinema itself and, beyond that, on the art of filmmaking itself.

Director Ti West's conclusion to the "X" trilogy is coming home. West and star Mia Goth rounded out their decades-spanning horror trilogy this year with "MaXXXine," picking up a little while after "X" left off ("Pearl" was a prequel).
