‘The Old Man’: A Season 2 Cast and Character Guide For the Mega-Hit Crime-Western

Everyone we can expect to make an appearance in the thriller’s sophomore run.

The debut season of The Old Man, FX's gripping crime-western series based on the Thomas Perry novel of the same name, won over fans and critics alike. It hit the small screen last summer as the most-watched cable television premiere since 2021 and racked up a seriously impressive 97% Rotten Tomatoes score from critics.

Jeff Bridges was riveting as Dan Chase, a retired CIA operative who's dragged away from his quiet life off the grid when an assassin shows up at his rural Vermont home. And perhaps the only performances to outshine him come from Dan's beloved rottweilers, Dave and Carol (don't you just love it when dogs have people names!?)

After all that success, a second season was inevitable. But who will be returning for more action? (Not Agent Waters - that's for sure!)

An official cast list hasn't been set, but it has been confirmed that Harold Harper (John Lithgow), Angela Adams (Alia Shawkat), and Zoe McDonald (Amy Brenneman) will all appear in season two. Everyone else on this list is who we can expect to appear.

When Will We See The Old Man Season 2?

The cast of heavy hitters is poised to deliver more stellar performances when the bone-crunching Western returns for its sophomore season. But due to the writer's strike, filming has been placed on hold, and a premiere date has not been set. You can stream season one on Hulu.
