As per The Hollywood Reporter, the creator of the series, Michael Schur (Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn Nine-Nine), spoke with The Hollywood Reporter, after the first season stating that he would “sign up for this show through 2050” if Netflix wanted it, and that while the first season featured a definite conclusion to the set story, he and the show’s writers left several doors open for future seasons.
“Before the season was even over, we had started saying a second season could be this, could be this, and trying to figure out how it would be different and how it would be the same,” Schur said via The Hollywood Reporter. “… What you have at the end of the season is a 76-year-old man with a new lease on life and a new sense of purpose and a new kind of fledgling career as an undercover detective. … You have a lot of building blocks for future seasons.”
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the description of the second season reads as follows: “Who’s making these threats? Does it have something to do with the iconoclastic billionaire Brad Vinick and his proposed donation to the school? Charles finds no shortage of possible suspects, but his attention gets diverted by free-spirited music teacher Mona, whose zest for life awakens feelings he thought he’d buried after the passing of his wife. Is he ready to open his heart again at this stage in his life? And more importantly, has he fallen for the very criminal he’s been sent to unmask? Meanwhile, his daughter Emily is inspired by the changes in her father and uncovers a long-ignored passion, while PI Julie embarks on her own journey of growth as she reconnects with an important figure from her past.”
The first season of A Man on the Inside is available to stream on Netflix.
