The Old Man will not have a third season. FX has cancelled the drama series after two seasons on the cable network. Season two premiered in September.
Jeff Bridges, John Lithgow, Amy Brenneman, Alia Shawkat, and Gbenga Akinnagbe star in The Old Man series, inspired by Thomas Perry’s novel. The story follows former CIA operative Dan Chase (Bridges), who abandoned the agency decades ago and has been living off the grid ever since.
According to Deadline, the seven-episode second season did not perform as well ratings-wise as season one.
The first season of The Old Man was released in 2022 and was a success for the network. However, the industry strikes of 2023 caused a delay in production for season two, and that was likely a factor in the series’ ratings decline.
What do you think? Are you a fan of this FX series? Were you hoping for a third season of this drama?
Why on earth do they continue to pump out unwatchable series and then cancel something like this.
This is the second time a show I was hooked on on FX (Taboo was other) has been canceled. The ending of season 2 left some interesting questions, not to mention the cinematography was fantastic. I will not watch another show on FX ever again, they’ll just disappoint
We are not happy at all. I was waiting to see season 3. SUCKS
I waited until I could binge watch each season. I was hooked. One of the greatest thrillers that I have watched in some time. Now you tell me that it’s cancelled. Explitive, Explitive!
Big fan. Was nicely set up for Season 3. Disappointed
someday these morons will figure out that their practice of waiting 1 year to put up a second season dooms most any show.
I would greatly appreciate the return of The Old Man
Bring it back
Unbelievable loved it you have to bring it back.
