A Man on the Inside‘s second season may have dropped in late 2025, and while it may not have set up a new mystery for undercover investigator Charles Niuewendyk (Ted Danson) to solve, Netflix is eager to explore more for the character as the streamer renews the series for Season 3.

While no official announcements beyond the renewal have been made, the cast and series creator Michael Schur hinted at plans for the next chapter when Season 2 was released. As we await official word on Season 3 details, we’re breaking down everything we know so far about the show’s return, from returning cast members to potential plots. Stay tuned for any updates, and scroll down for a closer look.

Has A Man on the Inside been renewed for Season 3?

Yes, A Man on the Inside has officially been renewed for Season 3 at Netflix. Series creator and executive producer Michael Schur shared in a statement, “We are absolutely thrilled to partner with Netflix on another season of A Man on the Inside. It’s a true joy to work with this entire team, most especially the handsome, erudite, and monstrously talented Ted Danson, a true American treasure whose contract stipulates exactly what adjectives I am allowed to use while describing him in press releases.”

A Man on the Inside has tended to focus on different topics each season, with the first being a retirement community, and the second revolving around a liberal arts school, so what would Season 3 shine a light on? Schur told TV Insider, “If we get a third season, the themes will remain the same, and we’ll add some new ones. Among the ones that I’m interested in exploring are the state of the American city.”

According to Schur, the subject “is very interesting to me for similar reasons that we set the show in a liberal arts school in the second season. It’s a subject that gets demonized all the time. I’ve lived in small towns, and I’ve lived in suburbia, and I’ve lived in cities, and I think cities are great and they’re wonderful and exciting.. It’s a place where a whole bunch of people come together from a whole bunch of different places and get to meet each other and experience what it’s like to live with each other.”

Who would star in A Man on the Inside Season 3?

You couldn’t have A Man on the Inside without the “man” himself, Ted Danson, but we’d also imagine many of the other stars could return, including Lilah Richcreek Estrada, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, Eugene Cordero, and Stephanie Beatriz, as well as possible guest stars like Mary Steenburgen (Danson’ real-life wife), but keep an eye out for any official announcements.

When could A Man on the Inside Season 3 premiere?

It’s not clear yet when that potential chapter might arrive, but if Season 3 sticks to the release pattern, it is possible that A Man on the Inside could be back as soon as 2026, as it was a year between Seasons 1 and 2. We’ll keep you updated on any announcements.
