Based on Thomas Perry’s novel of the same name, The Old Man centers on a former CIA operative Dan Chase. After 30 years of living off the grid, he is forced to go on a run after killing a hired assassin who breaks into his home.

Eric Schrier, FX Entertainment President, praised The Old Man for delivering “on the powerful intrigue and breathtaking action of Thomas Perry’s book” and applauded the creative team behind it for doing a fantastic job.

“The stellar cast led by Jeff Bridges, John Lithgow, Amy Brenneman, and Alia Shawkat is really connecting with audiences and we are excited to get to work on season two with our colleagues at 20th Television and this fantastic team,” said Schrier in a statement.

The Old Man was developed by Jonathan E. Steinberg and Robert Levine and it premiered on FX on June 16. The first season will feature a total of seven episodes, and the finale is set to air on July 21.

Hollywood Foreign Press Association president, Meher Tatna, said they’re delighted to bestow this lifetime achievement award on Bridges. They decided to go with the Big Lebowski star this time around because his brilliant body of work across diverse genres has captured the hearts and minds of audiences worldwide.

“We look forward to celebrating ‘the Dude’ and his remarkable career and philanthropic achievements at the upcoming Golden Globe Awards,” said Tatna.

Jeff Bridges won his first Golden Globe back in 2010, thanks to the lead role in critically acclaimed drama Crazy Heart. He received additional four nominations over the years – most recently for his supporting turn in Hell or High Water from 2016.

Bridges recently appeared in Drew Goddard’s sophomore film Bad Times at the El Royale, alongside Dakota Johnson and Jon Hamm. He’s currently getting ready to play a self-obsessed virtuoso violinist who’s battling life-threatening illness in Reed Morano’s next project.

The cult classic by Joel and Ethan Coen has been added to numerous “best film” lists (despite doing poorly at the box office at the time) and has even inspired a religion entitled Dudeism — inspired by Jeff Bridges’ “The Dude” — which is devoted largely to spreading the philosophy and lifestyle of the film’s main character.

When asked by Variety over the possibility of remaking the 1998 film, the 68-year-old was very clear.

“Yeah, if I was in it!” he declared.

“I’m thinking of the day that I invited my wife to come, and my girls, to come visit me on set. It was the day that I was to be pulled on a little skateboard underneath all these bowling pin careens and looking up at the vaginas as I passed. I asked if I could take a picture, this is a good photo opportunity, and she said to me, ‘By all means do.’ So I get on my skateboard and I look up and I see these… tufts… bundles of pubic hair. And I learned that they had all played a joke on The Dude, had stuffed their crotches!”

We have no doubt that a remake would be just as amusing!
