Netflix's latest offering, A Man on the Inside, stars Ted Danson and comes from the creative mind of sitcom legend Michael Schur.

The newly released trailer promises a touching and humorous exploration of life post-retirement, with unexpected twists.The series is even more compelling as it draws inspiration from a real-life event that exposed a scandal in a nursing home.According to Netflix's official synopsis, "Retired professor Charles (played by Danson) feels life has nothing new in store for him.""A year after his wife's passing, he's become stuck in his routine and grown distant from his daughter." "But when he spies a classified ad from a private investigator, he's inspired to roll the dice on a new adventure, going undercover to solve the mystery of a stolen family heirloom", reports the Mirror.

In the trailer's opening scenes, we meet Charles, a retired professor whose life revolves around mundane morning rituals and the newspaper's daily puzzles.His daughter Emily (played by Mary Elizabeth Ellis) encourages him to seek out fresh excitement, leading him to respond to an ad seeking an elderly investigative assistant.Julie (Lilah Richcreek Estrada) employs him to go undercover at a retirement home to look into the disappearance of a client's family heirloom among the residents and staff, where he discovers far more than expected.The amateur sleuth in the heart of the narrative initially finds himself out of his depth, but gradually settles into his unexpected new chapter and embraces a fresh zest for life.Drawing on real events from Chile, A Man on the Inside takes its cue from the 2020 documentary, The Mole Agent.The series boasts a star-studded cast with Stephanie Beatriz of Brooklyn Nine-Nine fame, Dune actor
