One of the best shows on television is “Fargo”, which not only is ultra violent, but keeps teasing that the anthology series is connected to malicious aliens. No, seriously!
The third season, featuring Carrie Coon, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Ewan McGregor, brings more chills to FX on April 19th. Two promos have spring up, with both ominously alluding to the dread and horrors coming back to Minnesota.
Set in 2010, the third installment of Fargo centers on Emmit and his slightly younger brother Ray Stussy (Ewan McGregor). Emmit, the Parking Lot King of Minnesota, sees himself as an American success story, whereas Ray is more of a cautionary tale. Forever living in his more successful brother’s shadow, Ray is a balding and pot-bellied parole officer with a huge chip on his shoulder about the hand he’s been dealt – and he blames his brother. Their sibling rivalry follows a twisted path that begins with petty theft but soon leads to murder, mobsters and cut-throat competitive bridge.
Carrie Coon stars as Gloria Burgle, the steady chief of the local police department. A newly divorced mother, Gloria is trying to understand the new world around her, where people connect more intimately with their phones than with the people around them. Mary Elizabeth Winstead stars as Ray’s girlfriend, Nikki Swango, a crafty and alluring recent parolee with a passion for competitive bridge. David Thewlis stars as V.M. Vargas, a mysterious loner and true capitalist whose bosses plan to partner with Emmit, whether The Parking Lot King likes it or not.
David Thewlis (a loner partnering with Emmit), Jim Gaffigan (a deputy), Scoot McNairy (a pothead criminal), Shea Whigham (Meeker County’s Chief of Police, Moe Dammick), Michael Stuhlbarg (Emmit’s trusted advisor), and Me and Earl and the Dying Girl‘s Thomas Mann (a science-fiction writer) all co-star in season three.
