Netflix has renewed the wonderfully funny and charming comedy ‘A Man on the Inside‘ for Season 2 starring Ted Danson from ‘The Good Place’s Mike Schur.
Based on the Oscar-nominated documentary ‘The Mole Agent’, the first season introduces us to a retired man, Charles (Danson), who gets a new lease on life when he answers an ad placed by a private investigator and becomes a mole in a secret investigation of the Pacific View Retirement Residence in San Francisco. Posing as a new resident, he goes deep undercover at a senior living community, building heartwarming new friendships and a stronger bond with his daughter along the way.
“We are thrilled to make another season of A Man on the Inside, starring young up-and-comer Ted Danson,” joked Creator / Executive Producer Mike Schur. “From our partners at Netflix and Universal TV to the writers, cast, and crew, it’s a truly exceptional team of talented and lovely people, with one notable exception (young up-and-comer Ted Danson, who’s kind of a nightmare).”
Whilst the first season did rather wrap up Charles’ work at Pacific View, they did leave the door open for a possible second season when Julie, the rather exasperated private investigator played by Lilah Richcreek Estrada (Chicago Med, Four Dads), lands another case which requires a “gentleman of a certain age”.
It also seems likely we’ll see the return of Mary Elizabeth Ellis (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Licorice Pizza, Red One) as Emily, Charles’s daughter, alongside Eugene Cordero (Loki, Easter Sunday, The Good Place) as Joel, Emily’s husband. We’ll have to wait and see if any of the Pacific View residents or staff make a return.
“A Man on The Inside found that sweet spot between funny, authentic and heartfelt, resonating across generations, and we are excited to continue this story with Mike, Ted, Universal Television and the entire team,” said Tracey Pakosta, Netflix Vice President of Comedy Series.
The man behind the comedy is Michael Schur, who created the wonderful (and Geektown favourite) series ‘The Good Place’ along with co-creating ‘Parks and Recreation’, ‘Rutherford Falls’ and ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’. He is also an Executive Producer of the brilliantly funny ‘Hacks’ and ‘Master of None’.
Schur and Morgan Sackett (Fremulon) and David Miner (3 Arts Entertainment) are executive producers. Maite Alberdi and Marcela Santibañez are executive producers for Micromundo Producciones. Julie Goldman and Christopher Clements are executive producers for Motto Pictures. Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, serves as the studio.
‘A Man on the Inside‘ Season 1 can be found on Netflix (we really urge you to watch!), and Season 2 is due to premiere in 2025 on Netflix worldwide.
