Renewed: The Old Man

US thriller The Old Man has been renewed for a second season after only just premiering internationally.

The thriller series which stars Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow is based on Thomas Perry’s book and follows Dan Chase (Bridges), who absconded from the CIA decades ago and has been living off the grid. When an assassin arrives to try and take him out, the old man learns that he must reconcile his past to ensure his future.

“Jonathan E. Steinberg, Dan Shotz and Warren Littlefield have done a fantastic job with The Old Man, which delivers on the powerful intrigue and breathtaking action of Thomas Perry’s book,” said FX Entertainment President Eric Schrier.

“The stellar cast led by Jeff Bridges, John Lithgow, Amy Brenneman and Alia Shawkat is really connecting with audiences and we are excited to get to work on season two with our colleagues at 20th Television and this fantastic team.”

“This terrific series has had a long journey to the air, which makes the reaction from critics and audiences these past few weeks all the sweeter,” said Karey Burke, President of 20th Television. “But the truth is, no one who has worked on it these past three years is surprised it’s resonating so deeply.”

The series debuts on Star / Disney+ on July 13 with a double episode.
