What is Fargo Season 5 about?

Fargo Season 5 was previously announced back in February of 2021, and will be set in the year 2019, asking the questions "when is a kidnapping not a kidnapping", and "what if your wife isn't yours?" Series creator Noah Hawley is expected to continue to serve as the series' director and executive producer.

"Noah Hawley is a masterful storyteller who has successfully created four wholly original seasons of one of the most brilliant series on television," Michael Wright, president of scripted television at MGM, shared in a statement when the new season was first announced. "We cannot wait to see his vision for Season 5 come to life with our partners at FX." 

"Noah and [producer] Warren [Littlefield] 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," Eric Schrier, president of FX Entertainment, added.

Originally inspired by the 1996 Coen Brothers film of the same, Fargo features various chronicles of deception, intrigue and murder in and around frozen Minnesota. Yet all of these tales mysteriously lead back one way or another to Fargo, North Dakota. Previous stars of the series have included Billy Bob Thorton, Martin Freeman, Ewan McGregor, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Patrick Wilson, Carrie Coon, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons, Chris Rock, and Jessie Buckley.
