Admittedly, the Fargo Season 2 teaser doesn’t reveal all that much about Season 2. Instead it sets a tone by juxtaposing a mundane detail of Midwestern life with a hint of brutal violence. It’s not so different from the approach that the FX marketing team took with Season 1.

In any case, we already know quite a bit about Fargo Season 2. It unfolds in 1979 and centers on Lou Solverson, Molly’s dad played by Keith Carradine in Season 1. Here, he’s a state police officer just back from Vietnam, and he’s played by Patrick Wilson.

Lou investigates a case involving turf war between a local crime family and a major Mob syndicate. Helping him on that front is Sheriff Hank Larsson (Ted Danson), his father-in-law.

The homegrown g--- is led by Otto and Floyd Gerhardt (Michael Hogan and Jean Smart), who have three sons (played by Jeffrey Donovan, Angus Sampson, and Kieran Culkin) with agendas of their own.

Meanwhile, a Kansas City crime syndicate is looking to expand in the area, and sends Joe Bulo (Brad Garrett) and his enforcer (Bokeem Woodbine) to take over.

Other key characters include Lou’s wife Betsy (Cristin Milioti), and locals Peggy (Kirsten Dunst), Ed (Jesse Plemons), and Karl Weathers (Nick Offerman). In addition, Bruce Campbell has a recurring role as future POTUS Ronald Reagan.

Thematically, Fargo Season 2 will deal with “the cultural transformation that was going on at the time,” revealed FX president John Landgraf earlier this year. That includes feminist issues, and “the sense that the war has come home.”

Fargo returns to FX in September. Noah Hawley returns as showrunner.

Can't wait for this to come out..I absolutely loved season 1. I also love the idea of these one off seasons

I think the only thing I'm optimistic about seeing this season is Patrick Wilson being one of the lead roles. I like the guy and feel this role + the show's tone will suit him really well.

@Bleed agreed - pretty good season so far. except i fell asleep last episode and missed the last 20 minutes. wh are these episodes an hour and a half lol? my on demand doesnt let me fast fwd either so i have to start the whole f---ing thing over

^good catch, keep me honest @reservoirGod most of that criticism I still agree with id say. It's not 2015s sopranos or Seinfeld or anything. It's still irritatingly self conscious but has its moments for a decent Monday night show.

Caught the first episode, gave up like 10 minutes into the second. Overly bloated plot for the sake of making a ten episode season. Short and sweet is what made the film a classic. Season 1 was alright, Martin Freeman was great, but I don't understand the acclaim.

rly, I didnt like Freeman rly. im diggin this season more... can see what you mean by overly bloated but they're deck assembling rn

I mean he was basically a reiteration of Jerry Lundegaard, and his character went downhill after the time jump, but I thought he was great during the front end of the season.
