A Man on the Inside Renewed for a Second Season
Netflix today announced that the critically acclaimed comedy series A Man on the Inside has been renewed for a second season, slated to premiere in 2025.
A Man on the Inside debuted atop Netflix’s most popular English TV List and has remained in the top 10 for three weeks since its release. It was named one of AFI’s 2024 TV programs of the year and Ted Danson has been nominated for a Golden Globe for his performance as an actor in a comedy series.
“We are thrilled to make another season of A Man on the Inside, starring young up-and-comer Ted Danson,” said creator and 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).”
“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.
Erin Underhill, President of Universal Television, added: “A Man on the Inside is equal parts charming, emotional and funny with a brilliant cast that has made the first season such a delight. A massive thanks to Mike, Ted, the cast and crew, and Netflix for giving us even more reasons to laugh, shed a tear and definitely call our families.”
In the series, retired man Charles (Ted Danson) gets a new lease on life when he answers an ad from a PI and becomes a mole in a secret investigation. From creator Mike Schur, A Man on the Inside is based on the documentary The Mole Agent, a 2021 Oscar nominee for Best Documentary Feature.
The executive producers include Mike Schur (Fremulon), Morgan Sackett, David Miner (3 Arts Entertainment), Maite Alberdi and Marcela Santibañez (Micromundo Producciones), and Julie Goldman and Christopher Clements (Motto Pictures).
In addition to Danson, the cast includes Mary Elizabeth Ellis, Stephanie Beatriz, Lilah Richcreek Estrada, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Sally Struthers, Margaret Avery, John Getz, Susan Ruttan, Lori Tan Chinn, Clyde Kusatsu, Marc Evan Jackson, Jama Williamson, Wyatt Yang, Deuce Basco, Lincoln Lambert, and Kerry O’Malley.
The series comes from Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.
