Netflix fans go wild as iconic Hollywood couple seen filming for first time on new season of hit show
Netflix fans went wild this week after spotting one of Hollywood's most beloved real-life couples filming together for the upcoming second season of Man on the Inside.
The streaming giant recently confirmed that Mary Steenburgen will be joining her husband of 30 years Ted Danson on the hit comedy series.
Danson stars as Charles, a widowed retiree who gets a 'new lease on life' when he secretly teams up with a private investigator to solve a case inside a senior living community.
According to Netflix, Steenburgen will play 'a former musician who factors heavily into the case Charles is trying to solve.'
The show has been a fan favorite since its November debut, earning Danson Golden Globe and SAG Award nominations for his performance as the charming amateur sleuth.
Now, fans are buzzing over the iconic couple's onscreen reunion, after the two were spotted filming in Los Angeles on Wednesday — walking side by side and appearing in high spirits while shooting scenes outdoors.

Bryan Cranston had the sweetest reaction to praise for daughter's work on ‘The Pitt'
The highest compliment Bryan Cranston can receive has nothing to do with his own acting career. 'The Studio' star was a proud dad on TODAY on June 10 when asked about his daughter and fellow actor Taylor Dearden. She received a host of accolades earlier this year for her performance as Dr. Melissa King on the inaugural season of Max's acclaimed hospital drama ' The Pitt.' 'Well, Taylor is a wonderful, hard-working actor,' Cranston said. 'She grew up in this business with my wife and I being actors. And so, we're so proud of her.' Dearden is the only child of Cranston, 69, and his wife of over 35 years, actor Robin Dearden. The younger Dearden's first television appearance came in a role in a 2010 episode of the legendary show 'Breaking Bad' starring Cranston. She also appeared in Netflix's 'American Vandal' in 2018 and three episodes of the Apple TV+ drama 'For All Mankind' in 2022. 'When I hear praise for Taylor's work on 'The Pitt,' it means more to me than anything anyone could ever say to me about my work,' Cranston told Craig Melvin, who is a father of two. 'You know, you're a proud dad. And I'm OK. I could retire after you hear that.' Dearden plays a young resident with a sister who has autism on 'The Pitt,' which details a chaotic and traumatic day in an emergency room at a Pittsburgh trauma center. It's the first day on the job for Dearden's character, who is neurodivergent. In real life, Dearden is neurodivergent, which she spoke about with NPR in April in connection to her role. 'I told them that I relate to this character because I see a lot of the neurodivergent parts of Mel as something I experience all the time,' she said about the show's creator, R. Scott Gemmill, and executive producer John Wells. She said Wells asked if she was comfortable sharing that part of herself in the role. 'And I realized it's, like, you know, I can mask only so much, and I'm really ready for people to know,' she told NPR. 'I tell everyone I meet because there are certain social behaviors that might seem odd. And so I usually have to tell everyone I meet, like, in case I do this, just so you know, it's not on purpose. So it was great for them to let it be my decision completely. I feel like it's the right move.' Watching his daughter's career blossom and spending time with family is what led Cranston to declare in January 2024 that he's planning to ' hit the pause button ' on his own career. He clarified previous rumors that he had been planning to retire by saying on TODAY that he more just wants to take a break to spend time with his wife and pursue other interests. 'I've been married to the best person in the world for 35 years,' Cranston said at the time. 'But she has been the 'plus one' in this industry, right, and I want to change that. I want to move that out of that kind of imbalance and go away with her and just kind of … she's looking forward to having me back, and not having to follow me around.'

Netflix fans counting down for Lena Dunham's TV return with raunchy rom-com
It has been more than a decade since HBO's Girls first hit our screens back in 2012, but fans of Lena Dunham are as excited as ever for her latest project. Titled Too Much, the Netflix show stars Hacks' Megan Stalter as Jessica, who is a New York workaholic in her mid-thirties. Reeling from a broken relationship, she decides to take a job in London to live a life of solitude. But after she arrives, she meets Felix (Will Sharpe), who seems to be a less than suitable partner. Despite this, she finds that their unusual connection is impossible to ignore. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. Written and directed by Girls creator Lena, the show also has producers from the film Love Actually. The rom-com will officially launch on the streaming platform on July 10. But, Netflix has also revealed that five guest stars – Andrew Scott, Jennifer Saunders, Kit Harington, Rita Ora and Jessica Alba – will feature in the show. Taking to the YouTube comments section, many viewers shared their excitement over the latest series. @treemu.c wrote: 'We love a plus size lead, who knows what she wants💁🏻♀️ So excited for this!' @geminithetwins added: 'Wait, am I actually excited about a Hollywood rom-com?!' @RandomPersonOnEarth678 also joked: 'Emily in Pari- I mean London.' After Girls ended in 2017, it has been clear to see what a pioneering impact it has had on TV. Now, with Too Much, it feels like a natural evolution for Lena, who was likely influenced by her own experience living in the UK. Speaking at the Next on Netflix event in London earlier this year, Lena said that while of her own experiences moving to and living in the UK informed the storyline, the star of the show made the role her own. 'I'm sure many of you have fallen in love with Megan Stalter from her work as Kayla on Hacks, the not very competent, but utterly delightful assistant. 'What I love about her is she is truly an old fashioned physical comedian in the vein of, you know, Carol Burnett or Elaine May, but she has something really modern and also really sweet about her, and she can move between intense comedy and heavy drama with ease,' she explained. 'She just felt like the perfect foil to feel how Americans contrast against the people of this nation, because it didn't take very long for me to realise that while you technically speak the same language, there are some vast differences that I am still coming to understand.' More Trending The 38-year-old went on to share that while the show 'does touch on some heavy topics', it was ultimately a comedy whose goal it was to 'bring joy'. 'You can take a half hour away from your day and feel like you are part of a world that is truthful, but just a little more sweet and tender than the actual world that we live in,' she added. Following the end of Girls, Lena has appeared in shows such as American Horror Story and Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. She has also directed the first season of Industry, created the comedy Camping and executive produced Genera+ion. View More » Too Much will be available to stream on Netflix on July 10. Got a story?
