The Old Man Season 2: Trailer, Release date, & more About Jeff Bridges & John Lithgow show

FX has revealed the trailer for the second season of The Old Man, and we can't wait to finally stream it online after two years of waiting. Based on Thomas Perry’s novel of the same name, The Old Man is about a former CIA spy, Dan Chase, who has been living off the radar and is drawn back into the action when an assassin starts hunting him. He must come to terms with his past in order to protect his future.

A big change we're looking forward to in the new season is watching leads Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow share scenes together. Co-creator Jonathan E. Steinberg said that he was more than happy to write scenes for the two together. Speaking about how he got to spend time with Lithgow while shooting season two, Bridges said, "We’re both second-generation actors and we approach it the same way. There are a lot of actors who say, ‘Please only call me by my character’s name’ or, ‘Let’s not have any contact.’ We’re the opposite of that. Let’s be friends. Let’s get to know each other. Let’s do it quite aggressively!"

That being said, we have collected all available information about The Old Man season two, including the release date, where to stream it online, the plot, cast details, and trailer. Keep reading this article to know more! We will regularly update it with new information to keep you informed.
