As a dedicated fan who has seen her fair share of TV shows, I must say that The Old Man has truly stood out among the crowd. Amy Brenneman’s recent remarks about the potential Season 3 have only fueled my excitement for this gripping series.
The FX thriller drama series, “The Old Man,” starring Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow, is wrapping up its second season this week. Although the network hasn’t yet confirmed a third season for the hit show, Amy Brenneman, who plays Zoe McDonald, has provided some optimistic news on the topic.
Amy Brenneman says ‘it’d be odd’ if The Old Man Season 3 didn’t happen
Recently in an interview, Brenneman expressed that it seemed unusual if the show didn’t have a third season. Moreover, she mentioned that the series co-creator, Jonathan E. Steinberg, had always intended it to be structured like a “three-part story.
On the Bingeworthy podcast by Playlist, Brenneman indicated that she wasn’t sure if there would be a Season 3, but it seemed unusual given how we concluded Season 2. However, Jonathan E. Steinberg had envisioned this series as a three-act play, suggesting that Season 2 is at the heart of an engaging story and the characters are developing in unique ways. (Paraphrased from The Direct)
As a devoted fan, I follow the gripping tale of Dan Chase (Bridges), a seasoned CIA operative with a past in Vietnam War, crafted by Steinberg and Robert Levine, inspired by Thomas Perry’s 2017 thriller novel. After an unexpected turn of events during a home invasion that led to someone’s death, I find myself drawn into a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse with Harold Harper (Lithgow), the FBI Assistant Director for Counterintelligence. The captivating first season, featuring seven episodes, was broadcast between June 16, 2022, and July 21, 2022. Shortly following its successful run, FX announced the renewal of the series for a second season, consisting of eight episodes that premiered on September 12, 2024.
In the same interview, Brenneman discussed what makes The Old Man unique compared to her past television roles. “I believe… having worked on both streaming and network shows,” the actress stated, “this feels like a movie. It’s as if we were creating three different Lord of the Rings sagas – you understand my analogy? This series is exceptionally well-structured. In contrast to shows like The Judging Amys or Private Practices, where it’s primarily about characters interacting, this show focuses more on the story itself and how the characters are intertwined with it.
Both the seasons of the show are available to stream on Hulu in the United States.
