FX' Fargo Sunday 10PM ET : Season 4 Episode 8 "The Nadir" Starring Chris Rock 11/08/20

The network announced today at the Television Critics Association that they're renewing "Fargo" for a second season, with a premiere date set for next fall. "The new chapter of the 'Fargo' story will feature an all-new cast of characters, a new time period and a new 'true crime' story that will unfold over the course of 10 episodes," FX said in a statement. And they aren't messing with the formula either, with Noah Hawley—who wrote the first season—back for the next run of episodes as well. As for the plot details? None yet.

Fargo Writer-producer Noah Hawley spoke to reporters at the Television Critics Association’s press tour in Beverly Hills on Monday, hours after FX officially confirmed that the Emmy-lauded show will get a 10-episode second season.

Here are some things you will surely want to know about Season 2, you betcha.

- The show will return to FX in fall 2015 at the earliest and will once again consist of 10 episodes.

- The second season will chronicle a crime that occurred in Sioux Falls in 1979 (something that happened in Sioux Falls was referenced several times in the first season).

- The 33-year-old version of Lou Solverson will be one of the lead characters (the character, played by Keith Carradine in Season 1, mentioned a Sioux Falls incident a couple times). Lou will be a state police officer who has recently returned from Vietnam, and we'll meet his wife, Betsy. Viewers also will meet Lou's father-in-law, the local sheriff.

- There's no Alison Tolman in Season 2. Everybody is sad. "It is a crime and a tragedy," executive producer Noah Hawley admitted. Her character will be 4 years old in Season 2, so we might see a toddler version of the character.

- Would Hawley consider having Tolman play her mother? "I haven't considered it, no," Hawley said. "She should be in everything anybody ever makes as far as I'm concerned," but having Tolman play that role struck him as a little "gimmicky."

- The second season will be shot in the winter again, in and around Calgary, Alberta. The settings for Season 2 will include Fargo, Luverne and Sioux Falls. "Believe me, we would do 'Fargo: Honolulu' if we could get away with it, but we can't," Hawley said.

- Season 2 will feature a made-up story that feels "truthy," Hawley said.

- Hawley said that the main Coen Brothers influences on Season 1 were the film version of "Fargo," of course, as well as "No Country for Old Men" and "A Serious Man." In Season 2, the main Coen film influences are "Fargo," of course, "Miller's Crossing" and "The Man Who Wasn't There."

Nice. Wasn't sure they'd go to the Sioux Falls thing so quickly.

I'm in. Hope they get somebody great to play Solverson.

it was cool but molly was a little too smart, like she jus figured out every detail out of every coincidence

gus was marginal, and they tried to make him pay off in the end.  

show was good, as for the finale, i was underwhelmed

laugh.gif
 at him hiding in the house all day while malvo does who knows what (possibly kill molly)

grin.gif
 at lester's end too, the darkness swallowed him literally

looking forward to sioux falls season 2
 
You should've watched the movie. Probably could get a feel for how every season will probably go.
 
Kirsten Dunst got the starring role. :x :{ Snaggletooth ********* Why oh why. Dislike her acting so much.

Dunst will play Peggy Blomquist, “a small town beautician with big city dreams who is trying to figure out who she really is and what she really wants as she struggles with traditional societal expectations.”

Season 2 Casting News and Plot specifics

FX also released a logline for Season 2: “Fargo’s new chapter, which will unfold over the course of 10 episodes, will travel back to 1979 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Luverne, Minnesota, where a young State Police Officer Lou Solverson (yet to be cast), recently back from Vietnam, will tackle an all new ‘true crime’ case. Solverson’s wife, Betsy, (yet to be cast) their four-year-old daughter, Molly (yet to be cast), and fellow officer, Ben Schmidt, (yet to be cast) will also be featured in the new installment.”

Season 2 will be influenced by the Cohen brothers’ Fargo, Miller’s Crossing and The Man Who Wasn’t There, executive producer Noah Hawley revealed at the show’s TCA panel in July. With the shift to 1979, a younger version of Keith Carradine’s character Lou Solverson, aka the father of Allison Tolman’s Molly, will be introduced. It was established on the show that in 1979, he worked on a Sioux Falls task force with one-day Duluth police lieutenant Ben Schmidt. The Lou that viewers meet in 1979 is a 33-year-old man recently returned from Vietnam who “thought he’d left the war behind and here it is, it’s domestic [now].”

Other Season 2 details from last summer’s panel:
* Molly’s mother will be introduced and fans may learn what happened to her, Hawley teased. Could Tolman possibly play her alter ego’s own mother? “I haven’t considered it,” Hawley admitted. “It seems a little gimmicky to me and like cheating. It’s something that’s certainly worth thinking about.”
* “Minnesota [and] North Dakota, that region is a character in the show,” Hawley said. “That’s part of the personality. Believe me, we would do Fargo, Honolulu, if we could get away with it. But we can’t.”

Just finished this show last week. So damn good. :smokin :smokin


Was extremely disappointed when I found out it wasn't a true story. :{

Oh, and Lester is a scumbag for real.

Lol... so much hate for Dunst... as long as it's a good season and she does a good job... that's all I care about. 
 
Now that I think about it. Dunst isn't even a terrible actress, just mediocre looking. I can see her homely look and acting style working in the Fargo world.

It's quite possible her character can also transform in to the scumbag Nygard we/I enjoyed in S1 :lol :smokin
 


Not at all of what i was expecting..i'll still watch but the trailer doesn't have me too interested.
