Ted Danson Goes Undercover in First Look at ‘A Man on the Inside’

Netflix has dropped first look images for the upcoming comedy series “A Man on the Inside” starring Ted Danson.

The half-hour show hails from creator Mike Schur, who is reuniting with Danson following their time working together on “The Good Place.” It is a series adaptation of the 2021 documentary feature “The Mole Agent.” Netflix ordered the show to series in 2023. It will premiere in November, though an official date has yet to be set.

The official logline states, “Charles (Danson), a retired man, gets a new lease on life when he answers an ad from a PI and becomes a mole in a secret investigation.”

Along with 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.

Schur will executive produce under his Fremulon banner along with Morgan Sackett, David Miner of 3 Arts Entertainment, Maite Alberdi and Marcela Santibañez of Micromundo Producciones, and Julie Goldman and Christopher Clements of Motto Pictures. Universal Television, where Schur is under an overall deal, will produce.

In addition to creating “The Good Place,” Schur also co-created the popular comedies “Parks and Recreation,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” and “Rutherford Falls.” He also spent multiple years working on “The Office” as well as “Saturday Night Live” early in his career. In addition, he is an executive producer on the award-winning HBO Max comedy series “Hacks.”
