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.”
