“We are thrilled to make another season of A Man on the Inside, starring young up-and-comer Ted Danson. 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).”

How well did the series perform?

So, how well is the show doing? Let’s dig into the stats!

At the top level, the show has been featured in the top 10s in 72 countries and in the global top 10s for English TV for two weeks, picking up 55.30 million hours watched, equating to 13.9 million views. It ultimately went onto spend five weeks in the global top 10s. Here’s how that breaks down week to week:

While the show isn’t quite at the heights of Nobody Wants This or The Gentlemen, both of which got rather swift renewals, it definitely tracks above a few others that did get renewed.

What to Expect from A Man on the Inside Season 2

Netflix has provided an extensive synopsis for A Man on the Inside season 2:

“Eager to take on another big undercover case, Charles Nieuwendyk (Ted Danson) gets his chance when a mysterious blackmailer targets Wheeler College president Jack Berenger (Max Greenfield), who enlists Charles to go undercover as a professor. Who’s making these threats? Does it have something to do with the iconoclastic billionaire Brad Vinick (Gary Cole), a Wheeler graduate, and his proposed donation to the school? Charles finds no shortage of possible suspects, but his attention gets diverted by free-spirited music teacher Mona (Mary Steenburgen), whose zest for life awakens feelings he thought he’d buried after the passing of his wife. Is he ready to open his heart again at this stage in his life? And more importantly, has he fallen for the very criminal he’s been sent to unmask?

Meanwhile, his daughter Emily (Mary Elizabeth Ellis) is inspired by the changes in her father and uncovers a long-ignored passion, while PI Julie (Lilah Richcreek Estrada) embarks on her own journey of growth as she reconnects with an important figure from her past.”
