The Old Man Season 2 – Premiere Date, Cast, and Everything You Need to Know
Following a brief concept trailer last month, FX has now released the full trailer for the Old Man season 2 of its Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow-starring series, “The Old Man.”
While its debut season played with the familiar tropes of CIA-centric thrillers, Bridges and Lithgow’s performances as the lead characters of The Old Man, along with Robert Levine and Jonathan E Steinberg’s captivating writing, ensured that the show became one of FX’s most-watched original series.
The show even managed to score some major award nominations, as Bridges and Lithgow earned nominations for Best Actor in a Drama and Best Supporting Actor, respectively, at the Critics Choice Awards, Golden Globes, and SAG Awards, so it’s no surprise that The Old Man season 2 is on the way.
