Netflix wants more of the Ted Danson comedy.
February 3, 2026
Netflix announced today that A Man on the Inside has been renewed for a third season. The news comes two months after the comedy released its 8-episode sophomore run.
"I'm so excited to see where Charles Nieuwendyk goes next," said star Ted Danson. "I've been blessed to work with Mike Schur for most of the last decade, and I'm still amazed by what he does. I'm incredibly thankful to him for creating this character and trusting me with him. The cast and crew make it very hard to call this 'work.' Huge thanks to Netflix for believing in the show, and letting us keep this ride going."
The series stars Danson as Charles, a retired widower who answers an ad from a private detective to help solve a mysterious theft at the Pacific View Retirement Residence in San Francisco. To accomplish this, he goes deep undercover by posing as a new resident at the living community. Along the way he starts to build heartwarming new friendships and a stronger bond with his daughter.

Well.. I kinda like it, it's harmless fun, but as a European I found the whole thanksgiving episode impossible to get through and that's where I basically lost interest. Not enough plot twists happened and not enough good humor to make up for that. So I am indifferent about the renewal, as I doubt the quality will go up from here.
