Netflix has released the first official A Man on the Inside trailer, previewing its upcoming comedy series starring Ted Danson.
What happens in the A Man on the Inside trailer?
The series — which was originally known as A Classic Spy before being renamed — stars Danson as Charles, a retired man who “gets a new lease on life when he answers an ad from a PI and becomes a mole in a secret investigation.” The series is based on Maite Alberdi’s 2020 documentary The Mole Agent, which follows the story of a private investigator who hires a man to go undercover inside a nursing home.
A Man on the Inside is set to premiere on November 21, 2024, when the eight-episode series will arrive on the streaming platform.

Law) as Charles’ neighbor Gladys, Lori Tan Chinn (Joy Ride) as Pacific View resident council president Susan, Clyde Kusatsu (Never Have I Ever) as Grant, and Jama Williamson (American Rust) as Pacific View activities director Beatrice.
Created by Mike Schur, A Man on the Inside will follow Charles’ (Danson) quest to make an unexpected late-life career move as he becomes an undercover detective, commonly known as a mole, after he responds to an ad from a private investigator. The comedy series is based on the 2021 Oscar-nominated documentary The Mole Agent.
