It’s been two years since the end of Season 1 of “The Old Man.” Unfortunately, that’s what happens with series that are so well made and written—we get delays. But as seen in the new teaser, Season 2 of the series is only a couple of months away. Picking up where Season 1 left off, “The Old Man” Season 2 follows former CIA Agent Dan Chase as he hunts down a missing woman, who was kidnapped by a powerful Afghan tribal leader.
“The Old Man” Season 2 stars Jeff Bridges, John Lithgow, Alia Shawkat, Navid Negahban, Amy Brenneman, Jacqueline Antaramian, and Gbenga Akinnagbe.
“The Old Man” Season 2 debuts on FX on September 12. You can watch the teaser below.
Here’s the synopsis:
In Season 2 of FX’s The Old Man, former CIA agent “Dan Chase” (Jeff Bridges) and former FBI Assistant Director “Harold Harper” (John Lithgow) set off on their most important mission to date — to recover “Emily Chase” (Alia Shawkat) after she is kidnapped by “Faraz Hamzad” (Navid Negahban), a powerful Afghan tribal leader. With all three men claiming her as their daughter, Emily finds herself in an identity crisis that has dire implications. As Chase and Harper fight their way to get to Emily, Hamzad is forced to make decisions that could endanger his family and the village he has led faithfully for a lifetime. “Khadija” (Jacqueline Antaramian), Hamzad’s sister and trusted advisor, is concerned about the path her brother has taken and what it will cost them. As the stakes get higher and more secrets are uncovered, “Zoe McDonald” (Amy Brenneman) makes surprising moves after having been drawn into a new world by Chase. Meanwhile, “Julian Carson” (Gbenga Akinnagbe) is disillusioned by his former role and finds himself at a crossroads with a path he hadn’t imagined for himself.
