Adjusting to life after a big change is hard. Finding something to fill the void from a big loss is even harder. But Ted Danson is no ordinary man—he’s a comedy genius, and he is having a ball in the trailer for A Man on the Inside. The upcoming Netflix series from The Good Place creator Mike Schur follows Danson as a retired professor named Charles who volunteers to become a mole for a private investigator. He’s supposed to infiltrate a retirement home and investigate a theft—but what he finds there is so much more than some petty crime.
“This is a multigenerational show, and it is equally important to investigate the inner lives of the people who are my age — because it’s a weird thing, when your parents start to need your help. You’re not used to that,” Schur said to TUDUM. “The whole basis for the relationship was that you need their help. It struck me as such a good idea to adapt this because we just don’t talk about this stuff. It feels painful, and it’s especially hard to talk about it directly with your parents.”
A Man on the Inside hits Netflix on November 21—this is one you definitely don’t want to miss.
