You betcha we’re excited that this FX crime anthology series Fargo is returning for a fifth installment with back-to-back episodes and a double dose of our favorite TV stars. Minnesota-nice Dorothy “Dot” Lyon (Juno Temple), a sweet wife and mom with a secret past, is kidnapped. Among those on her trail is macho sheriff Roy Tillman (Jon Hamm), who rules, kinglike, over a county in North Dakota.
“It’s a thriller and mystery in a way that we haven’t done before,” says executive producer Noah Hawley. “It’s a meditation on the film Fargo [the series’ inspiration, which revolves around a man having his wife kidnapped] that we’ve steered clear of. We revisit a similar event from the wife’s point of view.”
