Netflix comedy series starring Ted Danson reveals new title, premiere window and first photos

We get our first look at Ted Danson in A Man on the Inside (formerly titled A Classic Spy), the new Netflix comedy series from Mike Schur. The eight-episode, half-hour series was created by Schur and is based on the 2021 Oscar-nominated documentary The Mole Agent. It centers on Charles, played by Danson, who is given a new lease on life when he answers an ad from a private investigator and a mole is in a secret investigation.



In addition to Danson (pictured), the cast includes Mary Elizabeth Ellis, Stephanie Beatriz, Lilah Richcreek Estrada, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Sally Struthers, Margaret Avery, John Getz, Susan Ruttan, Lori Tan Chinn, Clyde Kusatsu, Marc Evan Jackson, Jama Williamson, Wyatt Yang, Deuce Basco, Lincoln Lambert and Kerry O'Malley.

Schur produces under his Fremulon banner with Morgan Sackett and David Miner for 3 Arts Entertainment, Maite Alberdi and Marcela Santibañez for Micromundo Producciones and Julie Goldman and Christopher Clements for Motto Pictures. Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, is the studio.

A Man on the Inside is scheduled to premiere sometime in November. The exact premiere date will be announced later.
