Colleen E. Hayes/Netflix Ted Dansonis on the case again inA Man on the Insideseason 2 — and he's not alone. In March, it was revealed that Danson would be joined by his wife, Academy Award and Golden Globe winnerMary Steenburgen, in the second season of the acclaimed Netflix comedy, but her role was kept largely under wraps at the time. Now, in the first sneak peek at the new season, above and below, the curtain is being peeled back. From the looks of it, the real-life couple — who celebrate their 30th anniversary in October — will be playing an adorable onscreen one. Colleen E. Hayes/Netflix To recap, season 1 followed Charles (Danson), a retired man who gets a new lease on life when he answers an ad from a private investigator and becomes a mole in a secret investigation in a nursing home. In season 2, he gets his next case, when a mysterious blackmailer targets the president of Wheeler College, Jack Berenger (Max Greenfield), who enlists Charles to go undercover this time around as a professor. Colleen E. Hayes/Netflix Per the official synopsis: "Who's making these threats? Does it have something to do with the iconoclastic billionaire Brad Vinick (Gary Cole), a Wheeler graduate, 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 (Steenburgen), 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?" Oh là là! Also in season 2, Netflix teases that Charles' daughter Emily (Mary Elizabeth Ellis) is inspired by the changes she's seen in her dad, and uncovers a long-ignored passion of her own, while PI Julie (Lilah Richcreek Estrada) is also back, and embarks on her own journey of growth as she reconnects with an important figure from her past.
