Season 2 Official Trailer - https://vimeo.com/141590034

Should I watch season 1 first?
Season 1 was critically acclaimed and was very, very good. Go watch it or read the Season 1 thread for more information. Fargo was nominated for 18 Emmys, including Outstanding Miniseries and nominations for actors Martin Freeman, Colin Hanks, Billy Bob Thronton, and Allison Tolman.
Season 2 is sort of a prequel, set in the '70s and somewhat connected to the first season but probably not by too much.

Fargo season 2 is a 10 episode original TV adaptation of the 1996 Oscar-winning movie Fargo (Joel & Ethan Coen) and follow up to the first season by FX (Justified, Archer, The Americans) written by Noah Hawley (Bones) and produced by the Coen Brothers. It is a period dark comedy/drama set in Minnesota and South Dakota with an all new cast and story.

Synopsis posted:

Set in 1979 Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Luverne, Minnesota, Police officer Lou Solverson (Patrick Wilson), a recently returned Vietnam vet, investigates a crime involving a local gang and crime syndicate. He is also assigned to protect Republican presidential candidate Ronald Reagan during his campaign stop in Fargo

I don't know if they can top season 1 but if they even come close it'll still be Show Of The Year.

Getting Justified season 2 vibes off of the crime family with Jean Smart as the matriarch. Hopes have never been higher for a season of tv.

I've never watched season one but I think I'll have to blitz it in advance of this just purely based on the cast of season 2 alone.

Season 1 was one of the best things on TV last year. The only shows that even came close to it were True Detective Season 1 and Hannibal Season 2. It was seriously outstanding and well worth a binge this weekend.

I can't wait. Somehow I never had much exposure to Billy Bob Thornton before watching season 1 and his presence on the show was just fantastic.

This is going to be awesome. Every show should have Ted Danson.

I totally forgot this was happening until I woke up in the middle of the night with premonitions of Season 2 of Fargo. I was so excited.

And that was before I found out Ted Danson and Nick Offerman are in it. Holy poo poo I can't wait.

Looking forward to seeing how this plays out. Last year was great.

Two questions:

1) What the hell just happened?

2) Why are they still harping on this "THIS IS A TRUE STORY. THE NAMES HAVE BEEN CHANGED OUT OF RESPECT FOR THOSE INVOLVED" bullshit? Isn't that something included for dramatic effect?

Granted, it's probably been a decade since I've seen her, but Kirsten Dunst does not look like Kirsten Dunst.
