Here is all the information we have regarding the release, cast, and plot of Season 2 of The Old Man, which is slated to premiere soon. The Old Man, a seven-part drama that premiered last year on FX, stars Jeff Bridges as a Vietnam War veteran and ex-CIA agent who goes into hiding after killing a house invader.
When Will The Old Man Season 2 Release?
work on the first four episodes of Season 2 of The Old Man had already come to a close before the writers’ strike began; according to Deadline, work was halted because the fifth episode’s script needed minor changes. With the writers’ strike over, the crew can go back to work on Episode 5 and wrap up the scripts for the last episodes of Season 2.
The precise number of episodes set for Season 2 is unknown at this time, however Season 1 only had seven because Jeff Bridges’ COVID-19 diagnosis during his cancer treatment prompted the producers to cut the original 10-episode plan. Irrespective, the writers of The Old Man will now have more time to polish the screenplays until SAG-AFTRA can resolve the actors’ strike, which will allow filming to resume.
Season 2 might very well launch in the summer of 2024, following Season 1’s June 2022 premiere, if the actors’ strike drags on for another year. Indeed, the first four episodes were probably edited and post-produced to a large extent during the strikes.
The Old Man Season 2 is still expected to be released before the end of 2024, perhaps in the second half, so fans shouldn’t freak out if the worst happens.
Who Will Return in The Old Man Season 2?
Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow will once again star in Season 2 of The Old Man, and the majority of the ensemble, with the unfortunate exception of those who died in Season 1, is likely to return.
Despite Zoe McDonald’s departure from Dan in the Season 1 finale, executive producer Dan Shotz confirmed her return in an interview with Deadline, describing Brenneman as “a brilliant actress and partner in this.”
“I don’t know if The Old Man is a show without the dogs.” Shotz teased their return in the same Deadline interview, so fans of Dan’s rottweilers shouldn’t be worried either.
The following is the anticipated primary cast of Season 2 of The Old Man, taking into account any notable additions or departures:
- Jeff Bridges – Dan Chase/Johnny Kohler
- John Lithgow – Harold Harper
- Alia Shawkat – Angela Adams/Emily Chase
- Amy Brenneman – Zoe McDonald
- Gbenga Akinnagbe – Julian Carson
What Will Happen in The Old Man Season 2?
In the aftermath of Angela/Emily’s abduction by her biological father, the Afghan warlord Faraz Hamzad, John Lithgow’s Harold and Jeff Bridges’ Dan reconnected in the first season finale, and they will most likely go out to rescue her.
According to co-creator Jonathan E. Steinberg, who told Deadline that they “never want a character to be too far behind the audience:” she will most likely learn her biological father’s identity early in Season 2.
“As a general rule, we never want a character to be too far behind the audience. So that’s coming pretty quickly for her.”
Steinberg hinted at plans for flashbacks that will retrace their time together in Afghanistan as Dan and Harold reunited:
“The whole thing is a bit of a journey into Dan Chase’s head. Some of the season two plan is for these guys to go back to this place that they spent so much time in when they were younger, and to see the past through their present eyes.”
