As for whetherA Man on the Insidewill be brought back, it’s too early to tell. One thing to pay attention to, in the coming weeks and months, ishow well the Netflix Original performs on the streamer’s weekly Top 10 rankings. There are also outside measurements of a show’s popularity, mainly Nielsen’s streaming charts. If the Danson comedy performs well on those, it will likely get a quick renewal. For reference,Nobody Wants Thisseason 2was confirmed by Netflix after only a few weeks because it was clear that the romantic comedy series was a hit.
