Netflix has today announced the premiere date for its upcoming original comedy series A Man on the Inside starring Ted Danson.
All 8 episodes of the first season will be available on Thursday, November 21.
Based on the 2021 documentary The Mole Agent, retired professor Charles (Danson) feels life has nothing new in store for him. A year after his wife's passing, he's become stuck in his routine and grown distant from his daughter, Emily. But when he spies a classified ad from private investigator Julie, he's inspired to roll the dice on a new adventure. Charles' mission: to go undercover inside the Pacific View Retirement Home in San Francisco and solve the mystery of a stolen family heirloom. Everyone, residents and staff alike, is a potential suspect, and it's up to Charles to solve the case without landing on the radar of Didi, the all-seeing, all-knowing director of Pacific View. But keeping a low profile proves difficult as the affable Charles quickly endears himself to his fellow residents. Being a "man on the inside" sends Charles on an exciting journey that makes him realize there's a lot more life left to be had - and allows him to reconnect with Emily in the process.
In addition to Danson, the comedy stars 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 Young, Deuce Basco, Lincoln Lambert and Kerry O'Malley.
Mike Schur created the comedy. He executive produces with Morgan Sackett, David Miner, Maite Alberdi, Marcela Santibañez, Julie Goldman and Christopher Clements. Universal Television, Fremulon, 3 Arts Entertainment, Micromundo Producciones and Motto Pictures produce.
