The series debuted at the top of Netflix's most popular English TV chart and has remained in the top 10 for three weeks since its release. The series was named one of AFI's 2024 TV Shows of the Year, and Danson has been nominated for a Golden Globe for Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Comedy Series.
“We are thrilled to make another season of A Man on the Inside, starring young up-and-comer Ted Danson,” said Schur as told to Tudum.com. “From our partners at Netflix and Universal TV to the writers, cast, and crew, it’s a truly exceptional team of talented and lovely people, with one notable exception (young up-and-comer Ted Danson, who’s kind of a nightmare).”
In addition to 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, Kerry O'Malley and Veronica Cartwright.
“A Man on the Inside is equal parts charming, emotional and funny with a brilliant cast that has made the first season such a delight,” said Erin Underhill, President of Universal Television. “A massive thanks to Mike, Ted, the cast and crew, and Netflix for giving us even more reasons to laugh, shed a tear and definitely call our families.”
Season two is scheduled for 2025.
