The Season 2 finale of A Man on the Inside featured Charles ending his relationship with Mona. Despite this, creator Mike Schur revealed that Mary Steenburgen’s character could still make a comeback.
Mike Schur expressed openness to Mary Steenburgen returning as Mona in a potential third season. He suggested that although the relationship between Charles and Mona concluded, her story isn’t necessarily finished.
“Mary Steenburgen’s character Mona could definitely come back in some capacity in Season 3,” Schur said, emphasizing the possibilities for her narrative beyond the current arc.
Schur highlighted the creative flexibility in storytelling that allows characters like Mona to evolve or reappear unexpectedly. He pointed out that endings within a show don’t always mean permanent exit for key figures, particularly when there’s audience interest and narrative potential.
Mike Schur’s comments indicate that Mona’s character has room to return, keeping options open for future story developments.
