A Man on the Inside Season 2 Opens Strong on Netflix as Renewal Decision Waits

The new season shifts to a Bay Area campus, adding Mary Steenburgen opposite Ted Danson.

Overview

  • Season 2 began streaming November 20 on Netflix, continuing the anthology-style, case-per-season format.
  • Early reception is strong, with a roughly 93% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes and a Top 10 placement on Netflix.
  • Ted Danson returns as Charles, going undercover at Wheeler College for a fresh investigation away from the retirement-home setting.
  • Mary Steenburgen joins the cast as a campus music professor and romantic foil, reuniting onscreen with her real-life spouse.
