Unfortunately, a popular FX show lost viewership in the past year and is now being canceled.

The Old Man is a TV series that first premiered on FX in 2022. The show is based on the book The Old Man and starred Jeff Bridges as veteran and former CIA operative Dan Chase. However, as the second series just ended in October of 2024, the show has officially been canceled, according to Variety.

The show started off with high praise from critics and high viewership in 2022. When the show resumed for its second season, it continued to have high praise, but viewership dropped quite a bit after its two-year pause.

According to Variety, “Season 1 followed Chase after he killed a home intruder and went into hiding. In Season 2, he and former FBI assistant director Harold Harper (John Lithgow) — who in Season 1 intended to arrest him — work to recover Chase’s daughter, Emily (Alia Shawkat), after she is kidnapped by powerful Afghan tribal leader Faraz Hamzad (Navid Negahban), though Harper and Hamzad also claim her as their own.”
