As Emily finds herself in the midst of an identity crisis, the very human element that runs through this show displays yet another dimension as Hamzad is forced to make decisions that could endanger his family and village and his sister becomes concerned as the stakes become impossibly high and the action increasingly explosive.

Zoe McDonald (Amy Brenneman) is also back and is drawn into a new world by Chase as hitman Julian Carson (Gbenga Akinnagbe) finds himself on a path he hadn't imagined for himself. How long any of them will last in a show with such a high body count is anybody's guess but we demand Chase and Harper back for at least one more season.

Why was season 2 of "The Old Man" delayed?

Like many other shows, production was held up by writers and actors strikes but, more pertinently, by a health scare for then 71 year old Jeff Bridges who had what he has called a "Near-death experience" battling COVID whilst also undergoing chemotherapy for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
