Will the old-fashioned Spy series have a season 2 on Netflix?

The series Old-fashioned spy has barely arrived on Netflix when it has already climbed into the top 10 most watched programs. Given its success, could the comedy with Ted Danson be renewed for a season 2?

Three years after the sitcom Mr. Mayor created by Tina Fey, Ted Danson made his big return to the small screen with Old-fashioned spy. Inspired by the documentary Agent Mole nominated for an Oscar, the series tells the story of Charles, a retired professor, who has become stuck in his routine since the death of his wife. A year later, nothing has changed for the hero who has moved away from his daughter, Emily. His life changes when he comes across an ad from Julie, a private detective, who makes him want to embark on a new adventure. His mission is to infiltrate a San Francisco retirement home and solve the mystery of a stolen family jewel. All the residents and staff are potential suspects in the eyes of Charles who will have to elucidate the mystery without being detected. But discretion is not the budding spy's strong point who still manages to put the other residents in his pocket.
