The Dragon Queen smiling next to Yancy speaking in Bad Monkey
Warning: MAJOR SPOILERS ahead for Bad Monkey season 1, episode 10!Bad Monkey series creator Bill Lawrence has explained season 1's ending making certain changes to the book, unpacking the alterations from Carl Hiaasen's novel. Apple TV+’s critically acclaimed Bad Monkey has ended, with major characters from Andrew Yancy to Nick Stripling having their stories concluded.
The Dragon Queen was a much different character in the book. She was an old woman and she was sort of pretty much evil; didn’t have any redemptive qualities. And so early on, we wanted to make that character more nuanced. We made her younger, we gave her this kind of consciousness of a grandmother, in Ya-Ya. I love that character, and I love what Jodie Turner-Smith did with that stuff.
What The Dragon Queen's Ending Means For Bad Monkey Her Tragic Story Added New Layers To The TV Series Close Out of all the characters in Bad Monkey, Gracie had the most changes from the book, which saw her as a secondary character compared to the likes of Yancy and Neville . By adding more depth to her character, the TV show created a new sub-plot that dealt with themes of faith and trying to find oneself.
The tragedy associated with Gracie's death also bolsters the importance of her storyline, giving her a bittersweet redemption because she didn't find it until after she died. However, it allowed the overall storyline to finish mostly how the book ended, while also offering a new perspective thanks to her wider focus. Even though all of Bad Monkey was filmed in Florida, the authenticity of the characters and their struggles in Andros were all fleshed out and important to the show.
