Not to bury the lede, but everyone’s favourite fictional spouse Adam Scott has joined the cast of Inside Job Part 2, which means he will be reunited with frequent love interest Lizzy Caplan. They previously collaborated on the films Party Down and Bachelorette, directed by Leslye Headland, so why not have them work together once more? I’m so ecstatic that I can hardly control it! I mean, they’re singing in harmony again, but you get the point.
Following Reagan Ridley (Caplan), an “Anti-social genius” whose “dysfunctional crew attempts to bury the world’s conspiracies,” Inside Job is a Netflix animated comedy that follows Ridley and his staff.
You read that correctly. Scott will be joining the likes of Christian Slater, Clark Duke, Andrew Daly, Bobby Lee, John DiMaggio, Tisha Campbell, Chris Diamantopoulos, and Brett Gelman in the cast of Part 2 today. Ron Staedtler, the character Scott plays, is characterised as “the head mind-erasing guru of Cognito’s archrival, the Illuminati. A loner who speaks his mind, he hasn’t made many friends at work by questioning the ethics of the company’s practises. Yet, while working for a competitor, he may end up becoming Reagan’s most unexpected friend.” Each episode of Season 2 will be 30 minutes in length. There will be 8 episodes in total.
Scott’s participation is a major addition to Shion Takeuchi’s series, which features many of our favourite comedic talents. It’s understandable that Reagan would be overwhelmed by Ron’s presentation, but if the two end up working together, it’s great news for everyone, and it makes us even more excited for the release of Inside Job Part 2 on November 18!
Synopsis
The shadow government and the dysfunctional staff whose daily job is perpetrating global conspiracies are the subjects of Inside Job, an adult animated comedy. Cognito Inc.’s workplace culture may be difficult to navigate for anybody, but it’s especially challenging for Reagan Ridley, an introverted software prodigy, because of the prevalence of elaborate coverups, secret organisations, and veiled orgy etiquette. She stands out as the only optimist in a workplace full of pessimists, even if she shares her beliefs with reptile shapeshifters and telepathic mushrooms. Reagan believes she can make a difference if she can control her unstable, manifesto-writing father, and her unreliable coworkers, and get the promotion she’s been hoping for.
