Miami Monkey is an American reality television series that premiered on VH1 on September 8, 2013.[1] Developed as the third spin-off of Mob Wives, the series chronicled Angela "Big Ang" Raiola as she opened up a second location of her Staten Island bar.

The show featured Big Ang, her daughter Raquel, and their team of staff that assist in the daily operations.[2]

In May 2013, Raiola confirmed during an interview that a second season of her show Big Ang was being produced,[3] but it was later revealed that the season would be retooled as another spin-off. The series name stems from the name of Ang's bar that opened on May 19, 2013.[4][5] Raiola moved to Miami for filming in April 2013 with production ending on August 11, 2013.[6]

In July 2014, Raiola confirmed that the show had been canceled.[7]
