Dan Chase is going off the grid for good, it seems; FX has canceled The Old Man after just two seasons.

Per Variety, the thriller series, based on the 2017 novel The Old Man by Thomas Perry, has officially come to an end. The Old Man stars Jeff Bridges as former CIA operative and Vietnam veteran Dan Chase. After killing an intruder who breaks into his home (in self-defense, mind you), Chase goes into hiding and rents a room from Zoe McDonald (Amy Brenneman), who reluctantly becomes his partner in crime.  

FBI Assistant Director for Counterintelligence Harold Harper (John Lithgow) is then called to apprehend Chase – because of their complicated past during the Soviet-Afghan War.
