FX Renews 'Fargo' For Second Season

Good news "Fargo" fans. Dontcha know, the show is coming back for a second season for 10 episodes. The "Emmy" nominated miniseries was a slam-dinger for the cable network this spring, so it comes as no surprise that FX would want to slip into bed with the show again.

"We could not be more proud of 'Fargo,'" said FX CEO John Landgraf. "Noah's [Hawley] audacious, bordering on hubristic riff on my favorite Coen brother film earned 18 'Emmy' nominations -- the most for a single program in our history. 'Fargo' was nothing short of breathtaking and we look forward to the next installment."

The first season premiered in the spring of 2014, but there is no word yet from FX about a premiere date, a cast make up, or a crime plot. The show will take place in a new time period from the 2014 episodes. The debut season starred Billy Bob Thorton as Lorne and Martin Freeman as Lester, but neither actor is expected to return for the second season.

FX is a huge fan of the "anthology" model and "Fargo" will join "American Horror Story" in the tradition of limited-run, closed ended storytelling for which the network is becoming known.

You can catch up on all episodes of "Fargo" on Amazon and iTunes.
