The fifth season of Fargo debuted on FX last week and the man behind the series sees no end in sight for the anthology drama. Series creator/director/writer Noah Hawley recently spoke about the series’ future at the season five premiere.
Starring Juno Temple, Jon Hamm, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Joe Keery, Lamorne Morris, Sam Spruell, David Rysdahl, Jessica Pohly, Nick Gomez, and Dave Foley, the current season of the series is set in 2019. It follows a North Dakota sheriff (Hamm) on his search for a seemingly ordinary Midwestern housewife named Dorothy ‘Dot’ Lyon (Temple).
Hawley said the following about the future of Fargo, per Deadline:
“I mean, who are we kidding? I’d be lying if I said this is not the most fun I have in my year making this show. I haven’t run out of ways to tell these stories. Why wouldn’t I keep going?”
Executive producer Steve Stark teased what viewers could see in future seasons. He said, “We’ve covered every decade except the ’60s and the ’90s. So maybe the 60s and 90s.” Hawley also teased the ’80s as a possibility for season six.

FX has not officially ordered a sixth year, but a renewal appears likely.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Fargo? Do you want to see season six (and beyond) of the anthology series?
I feel the same as Angelo, great series, just far to long between seasons
I have watched very episode of all the seasons and never disappointing actually really great show and acting. Just wish there was not such a big gap in time for the next season
