2025 is a big year for TV — but which shows do we definitely know are coming back for more seasons?
Apple TV+ surprised viewers by renewing Bad Monkey after the ending left the show’s future unclear. Based on the novel of the same name by Carl Hiaasen, Bad Monkey follows former police detective Andrew Yancy (Vince Vaughn) who gets demoted to a restaurant inspector before getting sucked into a murder investigation when a severed arm is pulled out of the water.
While Bad Monkey seemingly wrapped up every story line, there was still hope. Natalie Martinez, who plays Rosa a.k.a Yancy’s love interest, exclusively told Us Weekly in October 2024 that “the possibilities are endless” before addressing the main couple’s shocking onscreen split.
“There’s a lot of love between Rosa and Yancy. He’s helped her in so many ways and there’s definitely this great friendship there,” she shared. “They’re very fond of each other and at that moment he says, ‘It’s not a goodbye, it’s a see you later.’ So I think the possibilities are kind of endless there — where they’re a part of each other’s pivotal moment.”
Rivals on Hulu is another show that will get more time to explore the story. Season 1 introduced a feud between two men fighting for control of a television station in 1980s Britain, but it was ultimately the age gap romance between Rupert (Alex Hassell) and Taggie (Bella MacLean) — and Declan’s (Aidan Turner) presence — that won fans over.
“I’m really intrigued. There’s so many obstacles in our way and Rupert is really conflicted morally. I wonder what will happen now with Taggie,” MacLean exclusively told Us in December 2024 about Rupert and Taggie’s future. “It will be a lot more bumpy, but what that means for Taggie is a really interesting thing. There’s loads of ideas being thrown around. We’ve got to get season 2 fast.”
