The newly-released photos see Charles poking his head out of an elevator, speaking into a dictaphone, and having a glass of wine and a chat during an art class.
Other characters showcased in the photos include Mary Elizabeth Ellis as Charles' daughter Emily, Stephanie Beatriz as retirement home director Didi, and Stephen McKinley Henderson as community member Calbert.
A Man on the Inside's official synopsis reads: "A widower, eager to shake up his routine, answers an ad from a private detective to solve a mysterious theft.

The show is actually based on a real-life story, and an Oscar-nominated Chilean documentary about it titled The Mole Agent.
Netflix beat out Prime Video and Apple TV+ in a bidding war, securing the rights to adapt the story as a comedy.
Another show Schur is famous for is the US version of The Office, and in 2022 he admitted that he actually thought it was a terrible idea at first.
A Man on the Inside comes to Netflix in November. All four seasons of A Good Place can be streamed on Netflix now in the US and UK.
