FX has been promoting Fargo as a “limited series” but that certainly doesn’t mean that it can’t be renewed for a second season with a new story and characters. Will this show be a ratings success? Stay tuned.
A new take on the classic movie, Fargo follows a drifter (Billy Bob Thornton) who comes to the community of Bemidji, Minnesota and starts influencing the population with his own brand of malice and violence. The cast includes Martin Freeman, Colin Hanks, Allison Tolman, Bob Odenkirk, Oliver Platt, Kate Walsh, Glenn Howerton, Joey King, Peter Breitmayer, Tom Musgrave, Josh Close, Russell Harvard, Adam Goldberg, Keegan-Michael Key, and Jordan Peele.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
7/21 update: FX has renewed Fargo for a second season of 10 episodes.

Cable ratings are typically released within a day or so of the show’s airing, except for in the case of weekends and holidays. They are sometimes harder to locate so there may be occasional delays or gaps.
What do you think? Do you like the Fargo TV series? Do you think that it should be renewed for a second season?
Excellent show. Must renew!
Excellent show! They do a great job of following the spirit of the movie. I wouldn’t mind another season or 9.
I absolutely love this show. Billy Bob keeps it moving. The slower episodes are the ones where he isn’t in it as much. Keep it going FX.
Great show dark comedy. Renew renew renew. Billy Bob Thornton is awesome in this. A lot of twist and turns. You almost root for him. Show will or would fail if Thornton leaves. A show I actually look forward to every Wednesday morning, I DVR the show. Keep it coming FX.
Crazy show would like to see more and know how it ends!
Love Fargo. It is really quirky and totally enjoyable. Actors are great. Hope another season is in the cards….don’t know how they would do it, but that would be up to the terrific writers.
Very dark but very good. Sort of like American Horror Story.
This is a fantastic show!
Please keep this one on the air & give it a chance to grow
an audience.
Excellent show. Very well written/acted.
I hope it will be on again next season.
There are so few really good programs on tv. This is one of them.
The ratings will go with better advertising & word of mouth. I am telling everyone to watch.
Great show–quirky,freaky and Billy Bob–what else do you need? Miss Justified but Fargo is in a perfect spot for a Tuesday pick me up show..Keep it on Fx, keep it on !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well the season opener was great, but I’m not sure how a TV show can last if they have the climax in the first episode. The next 2 episodes have been slow and boring compared to the first. The only highlights are Billy Bob Thornton’s antics.
Great show!!!
First class writing & outstanding cast. Therefore….it’s doomed!
This is a truly amazing show; excellent writing and gut busting black comedy. The actors are perfectly picked for the parts. How they could do a second season would be questionable. This whole experience is awesome!
Didn’t like Fargo premiere. Won’t watch again. Should not be renewed.
Your genetic line shouldn’t be renewed; don’t reproduce.
