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

The (botched) murder went down in a very short span of time and quickly went out of control.

Not that it is the best indicator ever, but season 2 has 100% on RT out of 58 reviews, season 1 has 98% with 54 reviews.

FX has finalized the cast for its highly anticipated third season of Fargo.

Joining the cast of the Noah Hawley anthology are Michael Stuhlbarg, Scoot McNairy, Shea Whigham, Karan Soni, Fred Melamed and Thomas Mann, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Season three of Fargo has been rumored to take place in 2010, following the events of the breakout drama's freshman season. It's unclear how or whether it will tie into the events from the first run, though none of the stars from season one will return. Production on the third installment of Fargo is set to begin in January for a debut in 2017.

Ewan McGregor will topline season three and play the dual roles of brothers Emmit and Ray Stussy in what will be his first series-regular role.

Good news.

Returns in April, much sooner than I'd have thought.

I guess I'll have to think about making a new OP sometime soon.

Sadly no.

I'll make the season 3 thread in a few weeks when we get some cast photos and a little more info.

Going to make the S3 thread this week, come up with some threadtitles people.

Edit: Actually, I might go with "I decided not to park here" given season 3 is supposedly about the 'Parking Lot King of Minnesota'
Unless something else amazing comes up.
