The Old Man season 2: Release date, cast, plot and trailer

As a seasoned fan of gripping TV dramas, I am absolutely thrilled about the return of FX’s The Old Man for its second season! Having grown up watching Jeff Bridges in some of my favorite movies, it’s a delight to see him back in action as Dan Chase. And let me tell you, the addition of John Lithgow as Harold Harper only sweetens the deal.


In a new chapter, the acclaimed series “FX’s The Old Man,” derived from Thomas Perry’s renowned book of the same title, continues with its second season. This time around, our protagonists, Dan Chase and Harold Harper, join forces to tackle an intricate and challenging mission.

According to co-creator Jonathan E Steinberg, the forthcoming episodes won’t provide a tidy conclusion.

He mentioned several possible outcomes, as he spoke during the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour (as reported by The Hollywood Reporter).

“I’m not a fan of pushing a tale beyond its natural end, but this series feels different. It seems there are still many important messages it wants to share.”

The Old Man season 2 plot: What’s it about?

In the second season, CIA agent Dan Chase and former FBI Assistant Director Harold Harper are deeply engaged in a critical assignment, which they deem as their most significant to date. This time, it involves the abduction of Dan’s daughter, Emily Chase, by Afghan tribal leader Faraz Hamzad.

In the synopsis, it’s stated that Emily is facing a significant personal dilemma because three different men each claim her as their daughter, and this situation carries grave consequences for her.

“While Chase and Harper battle their path towards Emily, Hamzad finds himself in a position where the choices he must make could potentially put his family and the village he’s dedicated his life to leading at risk.”

1. Hamzad’s sister and confidante, Khadija, shares his concern over the potential consequences of his radical actions, whereas Zoe McDonald takes unexpected steps following her immersion into an unfamiliar realm due to Chase.

In other words, “Julian Carson feels disappointed about his past position and now finds himself facing an unexpected juncture in life that wasn’t part of his planned journey.”
