Every season is an event. Or at least for those of us who like the good criminal drama that he gives us every time Noah Hawley with ‘Fargo’, the sublime anthology series based on the homonymous film by the Coen brothers.
With a season 5 announcedwe are going to review everything we know about the next episodes of the series, which we will see in Movistar Plus +.
The history
Plot details for this season remain under wraps. They’ve only given us a couple of clues. Preserving the tradition of jumping between contemporary times and others somewhat more past (2006, 1979, 2010 and 1950 respectively), this fifth installment will take place in 2019 in the familiar landscapes of the northern American Midwest.
On the other hand, the brief synopsis line with which this season was announced reads: “When is a kidnapping not a kidnapping and what happens if your wife is not yours?”. This line is reminiscent, perhaps too much, of the Coen brothers’ film.
Which wouldn’t cause any major problems if it weren’t for the fact that there’s a Season 1 subplot that ties directly into something from the 1996 film, establishing it as canon in the show’s universe. But beyond this, at the moment everything is speculation.
The cast
We do know who will be in this fifth installment of ‘Fargo’ and, following tradition, we have a pretty striking cast (although perhaps not as much as in past installments).
Jon Ham (“Mad Men”) as Roy; Juno Temple (‘Ted Lasso’) as Dot and Jennifer Jason Leigh (‘The Hateful Eight’) as Lorraine make up the main cast of the story. Unfortunately, the characteristics of their characters have not transpired.

In the absence of confirmation from FX, the media specialized in filming indicate that season 5 of ‘Fargo’ will start shooting this coming fall in Calgary, Canada. Supposedly from September, which would fit in part with what Noah Hawley revealed last February, warning that they had to shoot this before fully getting into ‘Alien’.
Noah Hawley remains the lead writer for the series, which features Warren Littlefield and Joel and Ethan Coen as executive producers. The series is produced by MGM and FX Productions.
the premiere date
Taking this schedule for granted, this implies that we would see season 5 of ‘Fargo’ in 2023. Probably in the spring/summer of next year since looking at other years, we see that it does not usually take long between the end of production and the premiere.
the trailer
At the moment, we do not have a trailer or images of season 5 of ‘Fargo’.
