According to Deadline, Dave Foley has joined the cast of Fargo Season 5 in a series regular role. Foley is best known for his role in the comedy group The Kids in the Hall, and he also voiced Flik in Pixar's 1998 film A Bug's Life.

Past seasons of Fargo included stars such as Ewan McGregor, Chris Rock, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons, Martin Freeman, and Billy Bob Thornton.
