The show is based on a true story and a Chilean documentary about it called “The Mole Agent,” which was nominated for an Oscar.

Netflix won a bidding war against Prime Video and Apple TV+ and secured the rights to adapt the story as a comedy.

Another series Schur is famous for is the US version of The Office. In 2022, he admitted that he actually thought the idea was terrible at first.

A Man on the Inside is coming to Netflix in November. All four seasons of A Good Place are available to stream now on Netflix in the US and UK.
