Chris Rock Goes to War With the Italians in First Great Trailer for FARGO Season 4
FX has released the first trailer for the fantastic-looking fourth season of Fargo! I love this show, and Season 4 looks like it could be the best season yet! I really love what I’m seeing in this trailer! The dialogue is brilliantly hilarious!
The story for Season 4 centers around gangster Loy Cannon, who is played by Chris Rock, as he goes to war with the Italian mob. The series also features a wonderful supporting cast that includes Jason Schwartzman, Ben Whishaw, Timothy Olyphant, Jack Huston, Jessie Buckley, and more.
Here’s the description that was provided for the upcoming season:
In 1950, at the end of two great American migrations — that of Southern Europeans from countries like Italy, who came to the US at the turn of the last century and settled in northern cities like New York, Chicago — and African Americans who left the south in great numbers to escape Jim Crow and moved to those same cities — you saw a collision of outsiders, all fighting for a piece of the American dream. In Kansas City, Missouri, two criminal syndicates have struck an uneasy peace. One Italian, one African American. Together they control an alternate economy – that of exploitation, graft, and drugs. This too is the history of America. To cement their peace, the heads of both families have traded their eldest sons.
Chris Rock plays the head of one family, a man who — in order to prosper — has surrendered his oldest boy to his enemy, and who must, in turn, raise his son’s enemy as his own. It’s an uneasy peace, but profitable. And then the head of the Kansas City mafia goes into the hospital for routine surgery and dies. And everything changes. It’s a story of immigration and assimilation and the things we do for money. And as always, a story of basically decent people who are probably in over their heads. You know, Fargo.
Creator, showrunner, writer, and director Noah Hawley returns for the new season, along with Joel and Ethan Coen, Warren Littlefield, and John Cameron returning as executive producers.
Fargo Season 4 premieres on FX on April 19th and I can’t wait! It looks so good!
