“The Old Man” will be back soon with a new season. The FX drama will kick off Season 2 with a two-episode premiere on Thursday, Sept. 12 at 10/9c, the network announced Wednesday at the Television Critics Association summer press tour.
Season 2 consists of eight episodes, one more than Season 1. The remaining six episodes will air weekly. All episodes will stream the next day on Hulu.
FX also dropped a teaser for Season 2 — set to Soundgarden‘s “Black Hole Sun” with lots of helicopters and bullet holes — which will pick up after last season’s bombshell. The first season ended with the reveal that Angela Adams/Emily Chase (Alia Shawkat) is also Hamzad’s (Navid Negahban) daughter, Parwana. Season 2 finds Dan Chase (Jeff Bridges) and Harold Harper (John Lithgow) attempting to rescue the woman they all claim as their daughter from Hamzad.

Meanwhile, Zoe (Amy Brenneman) makes “surprising moves,” per FX, after being drawn into Chase’s world, while Julian (Gbenga Akinnagbe) finds himself at a crossroads with an unforeseen new path.
“The Old Man” was renewed for a second season shortly after it premiered in June 2022, but production was delayed due to the writers’ strike. Bridges and Lithgow netted Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award nominations for their work in Season 1. The former was also nominated at the Screen Actors Guild Awards and Emmy Awards.
