Jeff Bridges' The Old Man could premiere on FX on Hulu next year after the actor's battle with lymphoma

Deadline

The Oscar-winning actor's return to TV has been on hiatus since his lymphoma announcement last October. But FX chief John Landgraf says he expects The Old Man to premiere in the first half of 2022. "I hear the bulk of three episodes remain to be filmed," reports Deadline's Nellie Andreeva. "The hope is to resume production at the start of 2022 contingent on Bridges feeling well and getting green light from his doctors to return to work as well as the ever-evolving Covid situation. That would make the series available to launch towards the end of the six-month 2022 window listed by Landgraf."
