Netflix Renews 'A Man on the Inside' for Season 3 as Ted Danson Returns

The pickup signals Netflix's confidence in the show's acclaimed creative team despite a steep second-season audience drop.

Overview

  • Netflix announced the renewal on Feb. 3, about two and a half months after Season 2 debuted on Nov. 20, 2025, a slower decision than the swift Season 2 pickup.
  • Season 3 will follow Charles Nieuwendyk working as a professional private investigator, with Ted Danson confirmed to continue in the lead role.
  • Executives pointed to creative pedigree and critical reception, with Rotten Tomatoes scores cited at 96% for Season 1 and 92% for Season 2, along with awards recognition.
  • Netflix’s engagement reports show a viewership decline year over year—21.6 million views for Season 1 versus 9.8 million for Season 2—yet combined delivery across both seasons exceeded 45 million views through 2025.
  • The series, based on The Mole Agent and produced by Universal Television with Mike Schur’s Fremulon and partners at 3 Arts, Micromundo Producciones and Motto Pictures, has no release date or full casting details for Season 3.
