FX's The Old Man Safe House Sweepstakes Launches

Sweepstakes Drives Donations to K9s For Warriors and Awards One Lucky Winner the Chance to Bug Out Off the Grid, in Style

LOS ANGELES, June 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Want to escape the daily grind? FX is here to help you get away from it all with the launch of "The Old Man Safe House Sweepstakes." In honor of the June 16 premiere of The OId Man, a riveting new drama series starring Jeff Bridges, John Lithgow, and Amy Brenneman, FX will "exfil" the grand prize winner away to a high-end "safe house" where they will make like Dan Chase and get a taste of what it's like to live life off the grid.

The winner and three guests will be provided first class travel to a tucked away property in Joshua Tree for four nights. Provided by Wander, the stylish three-bedroom, three-bathroom "safe house" features a range of amenities, including a pool, yoga deck, telescopes for stargazing, a Tesla car, 24-hour concierge, stocked fridge, and more. Winners will also have the opportunity to participate in a live training session with a CIA expert who will show them what it takes to survive and thrive when you are out of your element. "Bug Out Bags" curated by a retired CIA operations officer and filled with best-in-class gear will be provided to the grand prize winner, their guests, and shipped to ten additional winners.

The sweepstakes will be open from June 14 through June 28. To enter, please visit the sweepstakes website at www.Prizeo.com/FXTheOldMan.  Entrants can make a donation to K9s For Warriors, an organization that provides highly-trained Service Dogs to military veterans suffering from the invisible wounds of war. FX's collaboration with the nonprofit pays homage to Dan Chase's relationship with his own two dogs who are his eyes and ears, and integral to his survival on the run, similar to the impact a Service Dog can have on our military veterans.

Watch the premiere of FX's The Old Man this Thursday, 6/16 at 10pm ET/PT. Stream on Hulu.

Based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Thomas Perry, The Old Man centers on "Dan Chase" (Jeff 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. With Dan Chase flushed out of hiding, the FBI's Assistant Director for Counterintelligence "Harold Harper" (John Lithgow) is called on to hunt him down because of his complicated past with the rogue fugitive. Working alongside Harper is his protégé "Angela Adams" (Alia Shawkat) and CIA Special Agent "Raymond Waters" (E.J. Bonilla). When Chase proves to be more difficult to apprehend than the authorities expected, "Julian Carson" (Gbenga Akinnagbe), a highly trained special ops contractor, is sent to pursue him as well. While on the run, Chase rents a room from "Zoe McDonald" (Amy Brenneman) who draws on reserves she never knew she had in order to survive the day when she learns the truth about her new tenant. Bill Heck, Leem Lubany and Pej Vahdat also star in the drama series.
