Netflix released the following description of the upcoming second season:

“Eager to take on another big undercover case, Charles Nieuwendyk (Danson) gets his chance when a mysterious blackmailer targets Wheeler College president Jack Berenger (Greenfield), who enlists Charles to go undercover as a professor. Who’s making these threats? Does it have something to do with the iconoclastic billionaire Brad Vinick (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?

Meanwhile, his daughter Emily (Ellis) is inspired by the changes in her father and uncovers a long-ignored passion, while PI Julie (Richcreek Estrada) embarks on her own journey of growth as she reconnects with an important figure from her past.”

The series is based on the Oscar-nominated The Mole Agent documentary. Mike Schur, Morgan Sackett, David Miner, Maite Alberdi, Marcela Santibañez, Julie Goldman, and Christopher Clements serve as executive producers.
