About “The Old Man” Season 2
Through thrilling action, insightful flashbacks, and some of the best actors on the planet, the first season of FX’s “The Old Man” was a taught drama filled with twists and turns befitting the best spy stories of our time. In Season 2, the former CIA agent known as Dan Chase (Bridges) and former FBI Assistant Director Harold Harper (played by John Lithgow) set off to recover Chase’s daughter Emily Chase (Alia Shawkat) after she is kidnapped by the people that Dan has been hiding from for decades.
However, while Emily knows about her father’s past, as secrets are uncovered, Emily finds herself thrust into an identity crisis that carries with it life-and-death implications. Along the way, Chase’s sometimes unwitting travel partner Zoe McDonald (Amy Brenneman) begins to make surprising moves into Chase’s world after getting a taste for the excitement and danger that often follows him.
Also featured in the series’ incredible cast are E. J. Bonilla, Bill Heck, Leem Lubany, Gbenga Akinnagbe, Hiam Abbass, Joel Grey, Pej Vahdat, and more.

Why We Recommend Watching “The Old Man” on Sling TV
Due to the ongoing carriage dispute between DIRECTV and Disney, there are only four live TV streaming services that will have access to FX for you to stream new episodes of “The Old Man” as they air. So, of those four platforms, The Streamable’s expert recommendation is to go with Sling TV.
While Sling doesn’t offer a free trial like Hulu + Live TV does, when it comes to watching a full season of television, the long-term savings are key, and that is why Sling is tough to beat. Not only can you get your first month of service for 50% off — which comes out to as little as $20 — but the streamer also is currently offering a deal in which you can save $92 over its already low prices when you pre-pay for four months. So, if you plan on watching all eight Season 2 episodes of “The Old Man,” then Sling is your best way to save money doing it.
However, if you don’t feel the need to watch the episodes in their initial broadcast windows, then Hulu is an even better option. The episodes will be available to stream on Fridays, generally at around 3 a.m. ET, although times may vary. An ad-supported subscription to Hulu costs $7.99 per month, though that will be increasing in the middle of this season of “The Old Man.”
Disney is set to raise prices on almost all of its streaming products on Thursday, Oct. 17. At that point, the Hulu + Limited Commercials plan will go up to $9.99 monthly, while the Hulu + No Ads option will increase from $17.99 to $18.99 per month.
