Ted Danson and Mike Schur explore aging and purpose in new Netflix series 'A Man on the Inside'

Ted Danson and Mike Schur are set to release a new Netflix series, "A Man on the Inside," on November 21. The show explores themes of loneliness and purpose in later life, featuring Danson as a retired professor who goes undercover in a retirement home. The series is based on the documentary "The Mole Agent," which follows an elderly man investigating mistreatment in a Chilean retirement home. Schur and Danson aim to highlight the importance of human connection and the potential for older individuals to lead fulfilling lives. Danson, now 76, emphasizes the value of aging with humor and purpose. Both he and Schur hope the series encourages viewers to reconnect with loved ones and appreciate the contributions of older adults in society.
