FX Renews FARGO For Season 5 and The Story Will Be Set in 2019
FX has renewed Fargo for a fifth season, and series creator Noah Hawley is coming back to develop it. I’ve enjoyed every season of this series so far. The stories they’ve told have been interesting and extremely entertaining.
Season 5 is going to be a bit different as the story will have more of a contemporary setting. This next story will be set in 2019. When previously talking about the possibility of a fifth season, Hawley said, “I don’t think anyone will write about Minnesota in the same way again after the events of the last couple of years. It’s definitely not going back to ‘Oh look at these jolly, carefree white folk in their small towns.’”
FX Entertainment President Eric Schrier in a statement, “Noah and Warren have delighted and inspired fans through four brilliant chapters of Fargo and we’re thrilled to announce with our partners at MGM a new chapter of what has become one of TV’s best and most acclaimed series.”
Michael Wright, President of Scripted Television at MGM added, “Noah Hawley is a masterful storyteller who has successfully created four wholly original seasons of one of the most brilliant series on television. We cannot wait to see his vision for season five come to life with our partners at FX.”
I’m curious to see what crazy story this new season of Fargo will tell.
