EXCLUSIVE: Emmy winner Jackée Harry (227) is set for a guest-starring role on Season 2 of Netflix’s comedy A Man on the Inside, starring Ted Danson.
Created by Mike Schur, A Man on the Inside centers on Charles (Danson), a retired man who gets a new lease on life when he answers an ad from a PI and becomes a mole in a secret investigation.
Harry’s role is being kept under wraps. She could potentially return in Season 3.
The series is taking on an anthology format, with Charles tackling a new case each season. In Season 1, he went undercover at a retirement home. Season 2 will see him sleuthing at a liberal arts college, sources said.
The new destination was telegraphed at the end of Season 1 when Charles, a retired college engineering professor, started offering his services as a guest lecturer.
A Man on the Inside is based on The Mole Agent, a 2021 Oscar nominee for Best Documentary feature. Schur executive produces the series via Fremulon alongside Morgan Sackett, David Miner of 3 Arts Entertainment, Maite Alberdi and Marcela Santibañez of Micromundo Producciones, Julie Goldman and Christopher Clements for Motto Pictures. Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, is the studio.
Harry, who won an Emmy award for supporting actress in a comedy series for her role as Sandra Clark in 227, can currently be seen as Paulina Price-Carver in Days of Our Lives. Additional credits include The Neighborhood, Everybody Still Hates Chris, Lifetime original movie Pride & Prejudice: Atlanta, The Paynes, The Jeffersons, and Cool Kids, among others. She’s repped by Metropolitan Talent Agency and manager Bob McGowan.
