It won’t be long before the arrival of A man inside season 2, the popular Neflix spy comedy which saw Charles (Ted Danson), a retiree turned detective find a new lease of life while investigating a jewelry theft at the Pacific View retirement home.
But with all that done and dusted and the case officially resolved, what’s next for Charles? Well that didn’t seem like much at all until he received a phone call from Julie, the private detective who hired him to help infiltrate the house in the first place.
And she has another case. Even though Charles solved the first problem, he’s exactly the one she needs for whatever lies ahead. Here’s everything we know about A man inside season 2 from release date, to confirmed cast, plot synopsis, and more.
A Man on the Inside season 2: is there a release date?
A man inside season 2 will be released on Netflix on November 20 – and in true Netflix fashion, all eight episodes will be released at once.
And speaking about the series’ renewal, creator Michael Schur told Tudum: “We’re excited to do another season of A man insidewith the promising young Ted Danson. From our partners at Netflix and Universal TV to the writers, cast and crew, this is a truly exceptional team of talented and lovely people, with one notable exception (up-and-coming Ted Danson, who is something of a nightmare).”
A Man on the Inside season 2: has a trailer been released?
While A man inside The trailer for Season 2 hasn’t been released yet, given the series’ November 20 release date, it’s most certainly imminent.
Season 1 was released this time last year (well, a day difference) and the trailer was released on October 28. So if I had to pull out my sleeve and go into spy mode, I’d say the trailer will be out. very Soon.
A Man on the Inside season 2: casting confirmed
Thanks to the first images of A man inside season 2 and casting announcements of Tudum, we know the return of the actors and the arrival of new characters, as follows:
- Ted Danson as
- Mary Elizabeth Ellis as
- Lilah Richcreek Estrada in the role
- Stephanie Beatriz as
- Stephen McKinley Henderson as
- Mary Steenburgn as Mona Margadoff
- Gary Cole as Brad Vinick
- Michaela Conlin as Andrea Yi
- Max Greenfield as Jack Beringer
- Sam Huntington as Max Griffin
- Jason Mantzoukas as Apollo Lambrakis
- Constance Marie as Vanessa
- David Strathairn as Dr. Cole
- Jill Talley as Holly Bodgemark
- Madison Hu as Claire
- Lisa Gilroy as Kelseigh Rose
- Linda Park as Elizabeth Muki
And, also thanks to Tudum, I can reveal a little more about each new character joining the series for the new detective mission of season 2.
For Ted Danson’s real-life wife, Mary Steenburgen, her character, Mona Margadoff, is described as “a former musician who plays an important role in the latest case Charles is trying to solve.” For Gary Cole as Brad Vinick: “a successful executive whose large donation to his alma mater sets off a chain reaction that leads to Charles’ hiring.
Michaela Conlin as Andrea Yi “who teaches economics at Wheeler College and is excited about the changes coming to the school, Max Greenfield as Jack Beringer “the charismatic president of Wheeler College, whose job requires him to raise money from wealthy graduates.” Sam Huntington as Max Griffin “a mob-stirring journalism professor at Wheeler College.”
Jason Mantzoukas as Apollo Lambrakis “an affable entrepreneur who dreams of writing the great American novel”. Constance Marie as Vanessa “a former con artist who serves as a part-time source on the criminal world for Julie”. David Strathairn as Dr. Cole “head of the English department at Wheeler College and the most famous and popular professor on campus”.
Jilly Talley as Holly Bodgemark “the overworked and perpetually exhausted dean of Wheeler College”. Madison Hu as Claire “a junior at Wheeler College who works multiple jobs on campus to pay for her tuition”. Lisa Gilroy as Kelseigh Rose “an aspiring photographer and the new wife of billionaire Brad Vinick”. And finally, Linda Park as Elizabeth Muki “the chair of the fine arts department at Wheeler College.”
Mysteriously though, there is another name that Deadline has confirmed who is joining the season and who is not mentioned on Tudum’s list, Jackée Harry, in a role that is being kept firmly under wraps. But “could potentially return in season 3.”
And from all these character descriptions, we can get a pretty good idea of what’s to come for the plot of season 2. More on that below.
A Man on the Inside season 2: story synopsis and rumors
Full spoilers for A man inside season 1 to follow.
After Charles’ success at Pacific View in uncovering the criminal, who turned out to not be a criminal at all, it seemed all done and dusted for the amateur detective. Pacific View residents celebrated Virginia and Elliot’s wedding (again), Didi decided not to quit his job after an impassioned speech from Charles, and Charles also rebuilt his relationship with his daughter, Emily.
But as Julie sat in her agency during the Season 1 finale, another case presented itself that only one man could help them with: Charles. And although the affair was not revealed, Tudum has since confirmed for A man inside season 2, Charles will go undercover on the Wheeler College campus.
No surprise if you’ve taken a look at the official Season 2 cast list above, but what will take place at Wheeler College remains under wraps. For good reason too, it is a spy series after all.
Although we have an official plot synopsis from Netflix to divulge a little more: “Eager to tackle another big undercover case, Charles Nieuwendyk (Danson) gets his chance when a mysterious blackmailer targets Wheeler College President Jack Berenger (Max Greenfield), who hires Charles to become an undercover professor.
“Who is making these threats? Does it have anything to do with iconoclastic billionaire Brad Vinick (Gary Cole), a Wheeler graduate, and his proposed donation to the school? Charles has no shortage of possible suspects, but his attention is diverted by free-spirited music teacher Mona (Mary Steenburgen), whose zest for life awakens feelings he thought he had buried after the death of his wife.
“Is he ready to open his heart again at this point in his life? And more importantly, has he fallen in love with the criminal he was sent to unmask? Meanwhile, his daughter Emily (Mary Elizabeth Ellis) is inspired by the changes in her father and discovers a long-ignored passion, while detective Julie (Lilah Richcreek Estrada) embarks on her own journey of growth as she reconnects with an important figure from his past. “
We also know from early footage that Pacific View isn’t entirely a thing of the past, even if the case is solved. Didi (Stephanie Beatriz) and Charles’ good friend Calbert (Stephen McKinley Henderson) also return, but in what capacity is unclear.
Whether they’re just there for a friendly game of backgammon and a quick shipment of missing salt shakers, or whether they’re playing a role in Charles’ next case, it wouldn’t be the same without at least one visit to Pacific View.
And the Schur agrees. Speaking about Didi’s return to Hope Sloop on the Emmys red carpet, he said: “There was no reason at the beginning of the year because it’s like a new place, but I was like, I don’t know, we’ll figure it out because I want Stephanie Beatriz to be in everything I write for the rest of my life.”
Will there be more seasons of A Man on the Inside?
There is no official renewal of A man inside latest season 2, so far. But if Deadline’s report on Jackée Harry’s role could return for season 3, there are certainly some clues. And what can we love more than a mystery to follow?
Series creator Michael Schur has made it clear he will earn more. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter when the first season aired, he said: “I said to Netflix, I’ll do this forever if you guys want to keep paying me to write seasons of a show where Ted Danson is an undercover detective. I’ll sign up for this until 2050 if you let me.”
Adding, “But what you have at the end of the season is a 76-year-old man with a new life, a new sense of purpose and a new type of burgeoning career as an undercover detective… You have a lot of building blocks for seasons to come.”
And with Mary Steenburgen’s role as Mona and a new case at Wheeler College that has something to do with it in Season 2, we’ll have a slightly older man with an even more ardent passion for life, ready for even more seasons.
