With the new story set in 1979
Initially greeted with some scepticism – after all, how could you adapt something as singular as a Coen brothers film into a TV series? – the small screen version of Fargo proved to be a treat, featuring great performances from the likes of Martin Freeman, Billy Bob Thornton and Alison Tolman and a solid storyline than has seen the show nominated for a Golden Globe. Season 2 will be a very different story with a fresh cast and Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons will be part of the ensemble.
With show runner Noah Hawley back in charge once more, the new series is set in Sioux Falls, South Dakota in 1979. Small-town beautician Peggy Blomquist (Dunst) is a woman with big city dreams and a yearning to change her life, while her butcher’s assistant husband Ed (Plemons) wants to support her new-found desire for self-discovery, but isn’t sure how to show it.
Their story will intermingle with another allegedly true crime case, this time investigated by a young Lou Solverson (as played in the first season by Keith Carradine), with that role still to be cast alongside his wife, young daughter and police partner Ben Schmidt. According to Hawley, the new season will take inspiration from Fargo (natch), Miller’s Crossing and The Man Who Wasn’t There. It’ll start shooting next month in Canada with a late 2015 airdate planned.
