The hit FX anthology series Fargo is finally coming back with a new season this year. The fifth season of this critically acclaimed drama series promises a stellar cast and an intriguing storyline full of deceit, crime, and thrill, and fans are quite excited about it.
There is no doubt that after four successful seasons and 41 episodes, the crime drama has risen through the ranks to become one of the best in the genre. Like the previous installments, season 5 is also set in the Upper Midwest, but this time instead of murder the plot will focus more on a kidnapping case.
The official synopsis of Fargo season 5 reads as follows:
“Fargo has traveled through decades, cities and families, and the fifth installment will be no different: Set in 2019, when is a kidnapping, not a kidnapping, and what if your wife isn’t yours?”
With 228 nominations for various awards, six Emmies (Primetime and Creative), and three Golden Globes, the show’s highly-anticipated fifth season is expected to be a hit.
On that note, let's take a look at some of the old faces returning for the upcoming season and explore new additions to the cast list.
