Netflix renews the comedy that made me cry in 2024 and confirms that the second season of A Man on the Inside will return next year.
Ted Danson will reprise a role of a character who has access to privileged information.
Netflix has decided to renew the series A Man on the Inside for its second season. Created by Michael Schur, this comedy became the most-watched program on the streaming service following its release. The plot follows the life of a retired teacher who infiltrates a nursing home with the goal of finding a stolen family heirloom.
Despite being a comedy, many were surprised by the emotional depth the series conveys, leading viewers to both cry and laugh throughout the episodes. With an impressive 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, the series has remained among the ten most popular shows on Netflix in recent weeks.
Michael Schur, known for his work on other successful productions like The Good Place and Parks and Recreation, expressed his excitement for the new season. Schur highlighted the collaboration with his team at Netflix and Universal TV and made a light-hearted joke about the lead actor, Ted Danson, whom he described as "a promising young man... who is a true challenge."
A Man on the Inside is set to return in 2025, although the specific plot for its second season is currently unknown. During the first season, Danson played Charles, a teacher who, despite grieving for his wife, receives a new opportunity by going undercover. This experience not only leads him to solve a theft mystery but also allows him to connect with other residents of the nursing home and improve his relationship with his daughter, Emily.
The series has been praised for addressing meaningful topics with touching humor, which resonates with many people. As viewers look forward to the premiere of season two, A Man on the Inside has established itself as a benchmark in Netflix's content offering.
