An open-ended finale can’t just be the end… or can it? The Old Man did return for a second season, which premiered on September 12, 2024. But now fans are asking the big question: will there be a season 3, or was season 2 the show’s last chapter?
The Old Man (based on the book The Old Man by Thomas Perry) returned with a second season, which was released on September 12, 2024. After the open ending of season 1, it wasn’t surprising that the story continued.
Even though parts of the first season disappointed some fans, season 2 had the chance to bring the show back to its gripping beginnings. Here’s everything you need to know about the second season of The Old Man!
The Old Man's Second Season
Season 2 of The Old Man premiered back in September of 2024. The road there was long – filming for season 1 had been delayed by Jeff Bridges' health issues and the pandemic, and later by the Hollywood strikes of 2023. But eventually, season 2 made it to the screen.
Will There Be A Season 3?
Unfortunately, the answer is no. FX officially canceled The Old Man after its second season. While the story continued beyond the cliffhanger of season 1, season 2 now stands as the final chapter of the series.
