A new trailer for The old man Season 2 has been released and shows what’s next in the action-packed thriller series starring Jeff Bridges. The old man Season 1 ended with Emily (Alia Shawkat) learning that Belour Hamzad (Hiam Abbass) is her biological father and being taken by him to an unknown location at the end of the last episode. This leads to Bridges’ Dan Chase and Harold Harper (John Lithgow) of the FBI deciding to team up to find her, both feeling a paternal bond due to their shared past.

Now FX Networks has released a new trailer for The old man Season 2, which gives a taste of the action-packed episodes to come. Check it out below:

The trailer confirms that Dan and Harold will team up to find Emilywhile also teasing a host of action scenes that will see the pair riding on horseback and being confronted by professional-looking assassins. Emily also finds herself in a precarious position, seemingly trying to escape Hamzad. The new scenes suggest that this season will feature even more action than before, alongside emotional character moments for the main group of protagonists.

What the trailer for the second season of “The Old Man” means for the collaboration between Dan and Harold

The old man Season 2 promises a much bigger adventure for Dan and Harold, circling the globe and possibly following Hamzad’s trail as he moves from place to place. The trailer also confirmed the return of Zoe McDonald (Amy Brenneman)to help the duo in their search for Emily. Given the number of action scenes hinted at, as well as their variety of different locations, it seems that this upcoming series of episodes will be even more action-packed than the first.

A central theme that will likely run through the entire series is paternal love and what it means to be a father figure in a person’s life. The title of the show itself has several meanings, with Dan, Harold and Hamzad are all, in one way or another, an “old man” in Emily’s lifeWhile the fast-paced rescue mission will be the focus of the season, the thematic resonance will likely be tied to the idea of ​​what a true father figure is.

The second season of FX’s The Old Man is fast approaching and must answer questions from the first season as well as offer key scenes between the characters of the new story.

Although there are three characters in The old man who represent various father figures in Emily’s life, it seems that Dan and Harold are willing to put aside their differences to protect her. This seems to lead to a thematic resolution, as the pair feel they can both be father figures to her in different ways. However, it’s unclear what her capture by Hamzad will entail and what role he will play thematically, meaning events could be more complicated than the trailer shows.
