Quick Links 'The Old Man' Is a Riveting Adaptation of the Thomas Perry Thriller Jeff Bridges Dazzles as Seasoned Former CIA Operative

Jeff Bridges is undeniably one of Hollywood's most illustrious and captivating entertainers, with the seasoned superstar's career spanning over seven decades and earning him many prestigious accolades, like an Academy Award and Golden Globe. Though he mastered the silver screen with unforgettable performances in hits like Tron, The Big Lebowski, Iron Man, and True Grit (among endless other classics), the charming leading man decided to try his hand at the world of television with the drama thriller The Old Man.

The riveting series is based on the Thomas Perry novel and features Bridges as war veteran and former CIA operative Dan Chase, who is forced to go on the run after years of hiding when he attracts the unwanted attention of the FBI, leading to an electrifying cat-and-mouse pursuit.

Two months after the Season 2 finale, the future of The Old Man on FX has been revealed. Unfortunately, it's not good news for fans of the series.

Per Deadline, FX has officially canceled The Old Man after two seasons, so there will not be a third season of the Jeff Bridges-led series. The show meeting its fate comes after wading through some troubled waters with its production for its two seasons. Season 1 began development in 2019 and was forced to shut down with just three episodes left to film because of the pandemic in 2020. Filming was further postponed as Bridges underwent cancer treatment; he announced in 2021 that his cancer was in remission, and production on The Old Man resumed in 2022.

Theres nothing more exciting than seeing an A-List actor cast in an awesome action TV show. The best action TV shows ever generally feature actors who are relatively unknown or tend to stick to the smaller screen. So, when a massive name is attached to a project, viewers are far more likely to take an interest in it.

While some action TV shows are canceled too soon, the appearance of an A-lister often helps keep a series on the air. This is proved in other genres, too, and there are many great crime TV shows with A-List actors. From action-packed sequences with brilliant explosions and tense situations to subtler scenes with unexpected deaths and violence, these A-List actors are fantastic additions to these TV shows.
