Ted Danson returns to the role of Charles Niewendyk, a widower and retired college engineering professor who now moonlights as an investigative assistant aka Spy Charles. This time, he must go undercover as the big man on campus at the liberal arts school Wheeler College. Will he find romance in Mona Margadoff played by Danson’s real wife Mary Steenburgen?
I talked to Danson, Steenburgen, and creator Michael Schur on the genesis of the series, what we can expect in season 2, and why they made me hungry for mini-empanadas.
“A Man on the Inside” season 2 streams on Netflix November 20.
