A new A Man on the Inside Season 2 update has been given by star Ted Danson and creator Mike Schur.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Danson and Schur were asked if the pair had spoken to Netflix about continuing the series in any way, considering that the show’s finale does end in a satisfying enough way.
Danson said that everything about the show continuing depends fully on Netflix, and that they won’t know more for at least another month.
What do we know about A Man on the Inside Season 2?
“All of this depends on being picked up, obviously,” said Danson. “Netflix has its system, so we won’t know that for a month, but we seem to be doing really well. We have, but it’s one of those things where you don’t want to go too far down that road, and it’s more of a fingers crossed kind of conversation.”
Schur also chimed in, noting that the series was never envisioned as a limited one, and was actually pitched to Netflix as an ongoing series. However, he said that there are definitely building blocks for a second season, and he’s told Netflix he’ll keep making the show as long as they keep wanting him and Danson back.
“We pitched it to them as a series, not a limited thing,” said Schur. “We won’t know the reality of that for a couple weeks at least, probably more like a month or two. But before the season was even over, we had started saying [a second season] could be this, could be this, and trying to figure out how it would be different and how it would be the same. He can’t go undercover at Pacific View anymore. Obviously, that ship has sailed. But what you have at the end of the season is a 76-year-old man with a new lease on life and a new sense of purpose and a new kind of fledgling career as an undercover detective. … You have a lot of building blocks for future seasons.
“I told Netflix, I’ll do this forever if you want to keep paying me to write seasons of a show where Ted Danson is an undercover detective. I will sign up for this through 2050 if you let me.”
A Man on the Inside is currently available to watch via stream on Netflix.
