Netflix reveals first look at star-studded cast for season 2 of a man on the inside

In the United States, Netflix has recently unveiled photos from the second season of its series A Man on the Inside on August 21, 2025. The streaming giant announced that the new season is set to premiere on November 20, 2025. The photos feature notable guest stars including Mary Steenburgen, who is married to Ted Danson, Max Greenfield, David Strathairn, Jason Mantzoukas, and Constance Marie. Gary Cole has also joined the cast for this upcoming season. Returning characters include Ted Danson's role as Charles, who will be involved in a new investigation linked to Wheeler College president Jack Berenger, portrayed by Max Greenfield. Mary Steenburgen will take on the role of a music teacher while Gary Cole is cast as a billionaire donor interested in supporting the college. Private investigator Julie, played by Lilah Richcreek Estrada, and other familiar faces such as Mary Elizabeth Ellis and Eugene Cordero, who portray Charles' daughter and son-in-law respectively, also return in season 2. The first season was inspired by the documentary The Mole Agent, which depicted Charles going undercover in a retirement home to investigate elderly care. Critics praised the first season for blending elements of comedy and drama, and it premiered on November 21, 2022. Following its success, Netflix decided to renew the series in December of that year, leading to the anticipation surrounding the upcoming second season. As fans eagerly await the new season, the blend of seasoned actors and fresh characters raises excitement about the narratives and mysteries that will unfold. The reveal of season 2 photos indicates that Netflix is aiming to build upon the character-driven storylines established in the first season, while continuing to tackle relevant themes regarding aging, care, and the interplay between personal and professional realms in a college setting.
