A Man on the Inside S2 – Now Streaming on Netflix
Netflix brings back its charming, heartfelt, and delightfully clever comedy series A Man on the Inside for a second season—now streaming. Created by Michael Schur, the show continues to explore empathy, aging, connection, and purpose, all through a humorous undercover mission inspired by The Mole Agent by Maite Alberdi.
Season 2 shifts the narrative to the vibrant setting of Wheeler College, where new secrets, questionable loyalties, and unexpected friendships await. With Charles Nieuwendyk back in disguise, the season blends mystery, comedy, and emotional depth in a way that feels both comforting and refreshingly original.
A New Case, A New Campus, A New Set of Problems
The always-endearing Charles Nieuwendyk, played by Ted Danson, is once again stepping into someone else’s world—this time as a college professor. His mission: uncover who is blackmailing Wheeler College’s president, Jack Beringer, played by Max Greenfield.
Things escalate when Charles discovers the mystery may be tied to a massive donation from a wealthy alumnus, Brad Vinick, portrayed by Gary Cole. The seemingly generous contribution comes with strings attached, raising eyebrows and suspicion across campus.
The new college backdrop offers the perfect playground for undercover shenanigans, heartfelt encounters, and the series’ signature blend of wit and warmth.

Season 2 features a dynamic and refreshing cast, each adding humour, tension, and charm to the unfolding mystery:
- Ted Danson as Charles Nieuwendyk
