FX has released the first trailer for the fifth installment of Fargo. The wildly successful spinoff series is back, and this time it looks like the series will lean even further into the hilarity of its black comedy genre. Season 5 is set in Minnesota and North Dakota in 2019, adding a modern twist to a series that usually revels in showcasing the past.
According to a press release, “after an unexpected series of events lands Dorothy ‘Dot’ Lyon (Juno Temple) in hot water with the authorities, this seemingly typical Midwestern housewife is suddenly plunged back into a life she thought she had left behind. North Dakota Sheriff Roy Tillman (Jon Hamm) has been searching for Dot for a long time. A rancher, preacher, and a constitutional lawman, Roy believes that he is the law and, therefore, is above the law. At his side is his loyal but feckless son, Gator (Joe Keery), who is desperate to prove himself to his larger-than-life father. Too bad he’s hopeless. So when it comes to hunting Dot, Roy enlists Ole Munch (Sam Spruell), a shadowy drifter of mysterious origin.”
The fifth season of Fargo stars Jon Hamm (Sheriff Roy Tillman), Juno Temple (Dot Lyon), and Jennifer Jason Leigh (Lorraine Lyon). The trio is joined by Joe Keery (Gator Tillman), Lamorne Morris (Deputy Witt Farr), Richa Moorjani (Deputy Indira Olmstead), David Rysdahl (Wayne Lyon), Sam Spruell (Ole Munch), Jessica Pohly (Agent Meyer), Nick Gomez (Agent Joaquin), and Dave Foley (Danish Graves).
