"The Old Man" season 2, starring Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow as aging spies Chase and Harper, is being billed as the duo's "most important mission to date". The plot this time around focuses around Emily (Alia Shawkat) and her kidnapping by Afghan tribal leader Faraz Hamzad (Navid Negahban).
Read on for how to watch "The Old Man" season 2 from anywhere, with or without cable, with a VPN.
"The Old Man" S2 airs on FX on Thurs, Sept. 12 at 10 p.m ET/PT and then the following day on Hulu and Disney+.
• U.S. — Watch on FX (via Sling Blue / Fubo) or on Hulu
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk-free
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.
Episodes 1 and 2 are streaming now. Read our guide below for where to watch "'The Old Man' season 2 online and from anywhere in the world.
Where to watch 'The Old Man' season 2 on TV and online in the U.S.
In the U.S., "The Old Man" season 2 premieres on Thursday, September 12 on FX at 10 p.m ET/PT and will be available the following day on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+.
FX Is available with most cable TV packages. If you've already cut the cord and don't have cable, you can access the channel on multiple live TV streaming services including Sling TV, Fubo, YouTube TV and Hulu With Live TV.
We recommend Sling and Fubo, two of the best streaming services. Sling is the more affordable option, but Fubo offers a broader channel lineup.
If traveling away from U.S., it is still possible to watch "The Old Man" season 2 via a VPN. We recommend NordVPN.
Watch 'The Old Man' season 2 from anywhere
Just because FX and Hulu aren't available everywhere doesn't mean you'll miss out on "The Old Man" season 2 altogether if you're away from home. Watching along with the rest of the internet can be pretty easy. With the right VPN (virtual private network), you can stream the show from wherever you go.
We've evaluated many options, and the best VPN is NordVPN. It meets the VPN needs of the vast majority of users, offering outstanding compatibility with most devices and impressive connection speeds.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're visiting the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the show. Head to your Hulu account and stream "The Old Man" season 2 online from wherever you happen to be.

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.
