Re: Fargo -- Season 4 -- News, rumors, etc.
I was just thinking about this show last week when I happened to be in Fargo and was wondering if it was ever coming back since it had been so long since any news about it. So color me pleased.

Re: Fargo -- Season 4 -- News, rumors, etc.
EXCLUSIVE: Justified star Timothy Olyphant is returning to FX with a key role in the upcoming fourth installment of the network’s anthology series Fargo, headlined by Chris Rock.
Created, written, directed and executive produced by Noah Hawley, who also serves as showrunner, Season 4 is set in 1950 in Kansas City, MO. The locale serves as the crossroads and collisions of two migrations — Southern Europeans from countries like Italy, and African Americans who left the south in great numbers to escape Jim Crow, both fighting for a piece of the American dream. In Kansas City, two criminal syndicates — one Italian, led by Donatello Fadda, one African American, led by Loy Cannon (Rock) — have struck an uneasy peace, which the heads of both families have cemented by trading their youngest sons.
Olyphant plays a character named Dick “Deafy” Wickware in a major recurring role.
In addition to Rock, Olyphant joins previously cast Jack Huston, Jason Schwartzman, Ben Whishaw, Jessie Buckley, Salvatore Esposito, Andrew Bird, Jeremie Harris, Gaetano Bruno, Anji White, Francesco Acquaroli,, E’myri Crutchfield, Amber Midthunder and Uzo Aduba.
Joel & Ethan Coen and Warren Littlefield serve as executive producers with Hawley. Fargo is produced by MGM Television and FX Productions. Production begins this fall in Chicago for premiere on FX in 2020.
Olyphant, Emmy-nominated for his starring role on FX’s drama series Justified, is coming off a three-season run in a co-starring role opposite Drew Barrymore on Netflix’s Santa Clarita Diet. He also recently starred and executive produced HBO’s Deadwood: The Movie. On the big screen, he can currently be seen in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and next will be appear in Ted Melfi-helmed The Starling alongside Kevin Kline and Melissa McCarthy.

Can’t wait to see this. Hoping Chris Rock does well in this dramatic role.

I actually just rewatched season 3. And it's better than I remember. I think you're right. It's just "really good" whereas seasons 1 & 2 were "fantastic".

I think it's good that Hawley took some time between S3 & S4. With an Anthology series you kind of have to strike gold every year and season 3 showed a little bit of fatigue

Wow that looks great. So maybe two different time frames, late 30s and the 50s? Rock seems a little too contemporary in his delivery there (the dog eat dog line) but we will see.

It's cool to see the son of "Connie Corleone" playing an Italian Mob boss. He doesn't really fit the type, but it works in a Coen inspired world.
