NETFLIX/COLLEEN E. HAYES
A Man on the Inside, Ted Danson’s hit crime comedy series, is returning to Netflix this week with Season 2.
Created by Michael Schur, all eight episodes of A Man on the Inside Season 1 debuted on Netflix on Nov. 21, 2024. Based on the 2020 Oscar-nominated documentary The Mole Agent, the series stars Danson as Charles Nieuwendyk, a retired widower who, upon answering a newspaper ad, goes undercover in a retirement community to investigate the theft of a ruby necklace.
The official summary for A Man on the Inside Season 2 reads, “Eager to take on another big undercover case, Charles Nieuwendyk (Danson) gets his chance when a mysterious blackmailer targets Wheeler College president Jack Berenger (Max Greenfield), who enlists Charles to go undercover as a professor. Who’s making these threats? Does it have something to do with the iconoclastic billionaire Brad Vinick (Gary Cole), a Wheeler graduate, and his proposed donation to the school?
“Charles finds no shortage of possible suspects, but his attention gets diverted by free-spirited music teacher Mona (Mary Steenburgen), whose zest for life awakens feelings he thought he’d buried after the passing of his wife. Is he ready to open his heart again at this stage in his life? And more importantly, has he fallen for the very criminal he’s been sent to unmask?
“Meanwhile, his daughter Emily (Mary Elizabeth Ellis) is inspired by the changes in her father and uncovers a long-ignored passion, while PI Julie (Lilah Richcreek Estrada) embarks on her own journey of growth as she reconnects with an important figure from her past.”
All eight episodes of A Man on the Inside Season 2 will begin streaming on Netflix at 3 a.m. ET/12 a.m. PT on Thursday, Nov. 20.
