1.6K

Netflix’s utterly delightful ‘A Man on The Inside‘ from ‘The Good Place’s Mike Schur, has added a host of new faces to the Ted Danson comedy for Season 2, including Gary Cole, Jason Mantzoukas, Constance Marie, Max Greenfield, David Strathairn and more!

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.

The first season did wrap up Charles’ work at Pacific View, but ended with the exasperated private investigator, played by Lilah Richcreek Estrada (Chicago Med, Four Dads), landing another case which requires a “gentleman of a certain age”, and reluctantly realising she would need help from Charles again. We don’t know a huge amount about the season two plot yet, but we do know it involves Charles going undercover at a college.

The new cast joining Danson in Season 2 includes:

• Gary Cole (NCIS, Veep) as Brad Vinick, a successful executive whose sizable donation to his alma mater starts a chain reaction that leads to Charles getting hired.
• Michaela Conlin (Bones, For All Mankind) as Andrea Yi, who teaches economics at Wheeler College and is excited about the changes coming to the school.
• Max Greenfield (The Neighborhood, Unfrosted) as Jack Beringer, the charismatic President of Wheeler College, whose job requires him to raise money from wealthy graduates.
• Sam Huntington (Superman Returns, Being Human) as Max Griffin, a rabble-rousing professor of journalism at Wheeler College.
• Jason Mantzoukas (Taskmaster, Big Mouth) as Apollo Lambrakis, an affable contractor who dreams of writing the Great American Novel.
• Constance Marie (With Love, George Lopez) as Vanessa, a former con artist who serves as a part-time source on the criminal underworld for Julie (Lilah Richcreek Estrada).
• David Strathairn (The Bourne Legacy, Alphas) as Dr. Cole, head of the English department at Wheeler College, and the most famous and popular professor on campus.
• Jill Talley (Mr. Show, Spongebob Squarepants) as Holly Bodgemark, the overworked, perpetually frazzled provost of Wheeler College.
• Madison Hu (The Brothers Sun, The Boogeyman) as Claire, a Wheeler College junior who works multiple campus jobs to pay for her tuition.
• Lisa Gilroy (Interior Chinatown, Jury Duty) as Kelseigh Rose, a budding photographer and the new wife of billionaire Brad Vinick.
• Linda Park (Bosch, For All Mankind) as Elizabeth Muki, the director of the Fine Arts Department at Wheeler College.

This newly announced cast joins Danson and the previously announced Academy Award and Golden Globe winner, Mary Steenburgen (Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, Book Club), who also happens to be Danson’s real-life wife. She’ll play Mona Margadoff, a former musician who factors heavily into the case Charles is trying to solve.

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’.

Michael Schur exec produces for Fremulon, alongside Morgan Sackett, David Miner (3 Arts Entertainment), Maite Alberdi and Marcela Santibañez (Micromundo Producciones), Julie Goldman and Christopher Clements (Motto Pictures). Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, is the studio.
