Nonetheless, regardless of the comedy from Michael Schur crushing on Rotten Tomatoes and trending on the streamer, Netflix hasn’t renewed it but. Nonetheless, whereas there’s nonetheless no phrase on Season 2, fortunately, we do have some excellent news.
Schur beforehand advised CinemaBlend that whereas a second season of A Man on the Inside wasn’t set in stone but, they “at all times needed it to be a present that lasted many seasons.” Moreover, critics have been calling the Ted Danson-led comedy “good tv,” so it seems like a shoo-in for a renewal. Fortunately, it looks like the comedy’s star thinks that too, as he advised THR that information about Season 2 ought to be coming quickly:
All of this depends upon being picked up, clearly. Netflix has its system, so we received’t know that for a month, however we appear to be doing very well. Now we have, nevertheless it’s a type of issues the place you don’t wish to go too far down that highway, and it’s extra of a fingers crossed sort of dialog.
It ought to be identified that Netflix is infamous for canceling reveals after one season, no matter how nicely it does. So, whereas it looks like the streamer is aware of that A Man on the Inside deserves extra seasons, that doesn’t essentially imply it is going to occur.
Nonetheless, it is comforting to know that each Danson and Schur are optimistic about one other season occurring. A Man on the Inside solely premiered on November 21, so we’re nonetheless within the regular interval of ready for a greenlight on one other season. Plus, Schur has no plans to stop, as he stated:
We pitched it to them as a sequence, not a restricted factor. We received’t know the fact of that for a pair weeks at the least, in all probability extra like a month or two. However earlier than the season was even over, we had began saying [a second season] may very well be this, may very well be this, and attempting to determine how it might be totally different and the way it might be the identical. He can’t go undercover at Pacific View anymore. Clearly, that ship has sailed. However what you will have on the finish of the season is a 76-year-old man with a brand new lease on life and, a brand new sense of goal and a brand new sort of fledgling profession as an undercover detective. … You could have plenty of constructing blocks for future seasons.
As for when Netflix may ultimately announce information of the renewal, it’s unknown.
Nonetheless, it is price understanding that Schur has created or co-created fairly a number of traditional long-running comedies, like The Good Place (which additionally starred Ted Danson), Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn 9-9 and The Workplace. So, the man is aware of learn how to craft a present that is constructed to final. Plus, he has made it as clear as day that he desires to work on A Man on the Inside for so long as Netflix will let him:
I advised Netflix, I’ll do that eternally if you wish to hold paying me to jot down seasons of a present the place Ted Danson is an undercover detective. I’ll join this by means of 2050 if you happen to let me.
Between it is heartfelt scenes, intelligent jokes and callbacks (just like the one to The Good Place), and an exquisite most important character who’s a retiree-turned-amateur personal investigator, it seems like this present is constructed to final. So, here is hoping it does.
In response to Danson and Schur, it looks like it ought to solely be a matter of time earlier than Netflix makes the official announcement about their present’s future. So, whereas we anticipate that and hope Season 2 of A Man on the Inside winds up on the 2025 TV schedule, you’ll be able to take a look at Netflix’s 2024 schedule to see what’s premiering in the course of the remaining weeks of the yr.
