Fargo just ended its third season last night, but will there be a fourth season? Creator Noah Hawley spoke with Deadline about the possibility of another season for the FX TV show.
Season three of the anthology drama takes place in 2010 and follows the sibling rivalry between Emmit (Ewan McGregor) the “Parking Lot King of Minnesota,” and his younger brother Ray Stussy (also McGregor), a pot-bellied parole officer. The cast also includes Carrie Coon, Michael Stuhlbarg, David Thewlis, Goran Bogdan, Andy Yu, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
Earlier, Hawley was reported as saying season three might be the end for Fargo. Now, he’s changing his tune. Speaking to Deadline, he clarified that the FX TV show isn’t ending; there’s just no start date yet for season four:
Please don’t tell people this is the end. Right now, I just can’t point to (a production start) date on the calendar.”
Hawley later explained that he doesn’t have an idea for season four right now, but if/when he does that season could still be years away:
“I always agreed with FX that the only reason to do another Fargo is if the creative is there. …. It took 15 months to get Season 2 off the ground, and 18 months to get Season 3 on the air. I have to turn my attention to the second season of Legion and a film potentially the winter after next. We’re looking at three years from now.”
What do you think? Did you like season three of Fargo? Do you want a fourth season?
I just love Fargo. Please keep it going with all the twists and turns.
I really enjoy Fargo. I know the episodes are different and some enjoy certain characters better than others. It is supposed to be humorous, so to some it might be silly. But that is what I like about it, no overboard drama.
I never felt that seasons 2 and 3 matched up to the first.
The open end to the 3rd season was rather silly and pointless.
I won’t be too concerned if they wrap up the genre at this point.
Toe tag it Dano!
Yes, I would love for Fargo to continue yet with another season. The movie and all 3 seasons were terrific! Keep up the good work.
it is simply the most compelling and watchable show we have.we all talk about it.by the way,Mary Elizabeth is now in my top 5 list of hotties.
Although Carrie Coon was very, very good in the police chief role, please bring back Alison Tolman ! AMOF, how about the two of them squaring off against Varga and some other prairie creep.
I would love to see more of Fargo. I have enjoyed them all so far.
If Hawley is able to capture a creative focus returning him to a storyline more like Season 1 or even Season 2 we welcomed Season 3 yet just wasn’t comparable to Billy Bob Thornton or the mob of Season 2.
I agree this season was lower-key than previous ones, but I enjoyed the drama nonetheless. The skin-crawling menace of Varga and his disgusting teeth was intense, and by mid-season I was actively rooting for Meemo’s painful and gory death. I especially liked the girl bonding between Gloria and Winnie, and the character differences of the brothers displayed by Ewan McGregor was admirable. I would absolutely give season four a try!
