A Man on the Inside, Netflix's upcoming comedy series, dropped its first trailer on October 28, 2024. The show brings together creator Michael Schur and actor Ted Danson, who previously worked together on NBC's The Good Place, which ran from 2016 until 2020.
The latest series is inspired by The Mole Agent, a Spanish documentary film by the Chilean filmmaker Maite Alberdi. In the series, Ted Danson plays the retiree-turned-amateur-private-investigator who spies at a retirement home.
Netflix described the show's synopsis as follows:
"A retired professor gets a new lease on life when a private investigator hires him to go undercover inside a San Francisco retirement home."

A Man on the Inside creator Michael Schur spoke to Entertainment Weekly about how he developed the series. In September 2024, he told the magazine that he was blown away by the show's source material, The Mole Agent.
"I just thought it was one of the most brilliant things I'd ever seen. It's a very special piece of art, and I did not immediately think about adapting it at all. I just was like, goddamn, that was so good."
It took almost two years for Schur and his producing partner Morgan Sackett to decide to adapt the Oscar-nominated film into a television series for American audiences. After pitching their idea to Netflix, the series was given a straight-to-series order in March 2023. The same month, Ted Danson was confirmed to star in the project.
The rest of the cast came together by February 2024. Joining Danson on the show are Mary Elizabeth Ellis, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Sally Struthers, Stephanie Beatriz, Lilah Richcreek Estrada, and Eugene Cordero.
The show's other supporting cast members include Margaret Avery, John Getz, Susan Ruttan, Lori Tan Chinn, Marc Evan Jackson, Wyatt Yang, Deuce Basco, Clyde Kusatsu, Lincoln Lambert, Jama Williamson, and Kerry O'Malley.
The comedy series is executive produced by David Miner, Maite Alberdi, Marcela Santibañez, Julie Goldman, and Christopher Clements, with Schur and Sackett. A Man on the Inside is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on November 21, 2024.
