Ted Danson and Mike Schur are all set to reunite for the comedy series based on The Mole Agent, a Chilean documentary released in 2020. The two previously worked together on The Good Place, where Mike Schur was the creator, and Ted Danson was a part of the main cast for all four seasons.
The new show based on The Mole Agent is reportedly still finding a streaming platform, while platforms such as Netflix Prime Video and HBO Max are bidding for distribution rights. The series will be produced by Universal Television, Mike's long-time home.
The Mole Agent made its debut at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival. It was directed by Maite Alberdi and was selected as the Chilean entry for Best International Feature Film. The documentary shows Rómulo, a private investigator, hiring an elderly Sergio in order to infiltrate a nursing home in El Monte, Chile. Rumulo goes on an undercover mission to investigate a claim from his client that the staff was mistreating his mother. During his stay at the facility, Sergio starts befriending the residents and tries to learn their secrets.
