Jeff Bridges To Star As Retired CIA Officer In FX Drama ‘The Old Man’ From ‘Black Sails’ Co-Creators Jon Steinberg & Robert Levine

Jeff Bridges is returning to series television for the first time in over 50 years with FX drama The Old Man.

The Big Lebowski and Bad Times at the El Royale star will play a retired CIA officer in the series, which is written by Black Sails co-creators Jon Steinberg and Robert Levine.

The series, which is based on the eponymous novel written by Thomas Perry, centers on Dan Chase, played by Bridges, who absconded from the CIA decades ago and has been living off the grid since. When an assassin arrives and tries to take Chase out, the old operative learns that to ensure his future he now must reconcile his past.

Could FX get me to watch more than just people riding motorcycles again? Sounds possible at least.

Six-time Emmy winner John Lithgow is set as a lead opposite star Jeff Bridges in FX’s drama pilot The Old Man, from Black Sails co-creators Jon Steinberg and Robert Levine. In another major coup, the pilot has tapped Jon Watts, who directed and co-wrote blockbusters Spider-Man: Homecoming and its sequel Spider-Man: Far From Home, to direct and executive produce. Filming begins this fall.

Lithgow will play Harold Harper. Intelligent and tough with deep reservoirs of compassion and ruthlessness, Harper is called back to service by the FBI after suffering a terrible personal loss. He has a complicated past with rogue fugitive Chas (Bridges), which makes him uniquely suited for hunting him down.
