Chris Rock will Star in FARGO Season 4 and The Crazy Story Details Have Been Revealed!
Noah Hawley's Fargo is easily one of the best and most entertaining series on TV and some great news details have just surfaced for Season 4!
FX officially announced Season 4 and revealed that it will star Chris Rock and be set in the 1950s in Kansas City, Missouri. As a fan of Chris Rock is so cool to learn that he will be joining Fargo! This is going to be an awesome project for him and you can read the crazy story details that have been revealed below:
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.
That sounds like it could end up being one of the best seasons yet! That's such an intriguing story. Hawley and Rock are said to be extremely excited about this season. When talking about the series and the Kansas City setting, FX CEO John Landgraf said:
“I think it snows in Kansas City. You discover in the third cycle [of Fargo] a book Tales of True Crime in the Upper Midwest. Of course these are tall tales, not actually true crimes. This could be a show basing a cycle on each of the chapters of that book. What Missouri is is midwestern. I don’t know if you call it upper midwestern. What’s fascinating to me about history is we think of crime as being Las Vegas or New York. In fact, Kansas City was the center of power of organized crime in America during this period of time before Las Vegas became an important hub. A lot of the capital for Las Vegas came from Kansas City. The tentacles of these organizations in Kansas City stretch out into the midwest. Now I think he’s going more to the source.”
What do you think of the plot for Fargo Season 4 and the fact that Chris Rock will star in it?
