Fargo

Fargo is a Tv Series inspired by the 1996 Coen brothers’ movie.

It counts 2 seasons (a third one scheduled for April 2017) set between frozen Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota.

Season 1
The first season takes place in 2006. The main characters are Lorne Malvo (Billy Bob Thornton) and Lester Nygaard (Martin Freeman) and police officers Molly Solverson (Allison Tolman) and Gus Grimly (Colin Hanks). Throughout the 10 episodes, the quiet towns of Bemidji and Duluth, Minnesota will be shaken up by a series of murders.

This first season was filmed entirely in Alberta in late 2013 and 2014. The filming locations included Calgary, Strathmore and High River.

Season 2
In season two we follow the story of Peggy Blumquist (Kirsten Dunst) and her husband Ed (Jessie Plemons), trying to get away with the accidental death of a component of a crime family of North Dakota. State Trooper Lou Solverson (Patrick Wilson) and Sheriff Hank Larson Ted Danson) will try to solve the intricate case.

This second season is set in 1979, and was filmed, like the first one, in Alberta, precisely in Calgary, in only 85 days.

Season 3
A third season is scheduled to premiere on April 19, 2017, starring Ewan McGregor among others. Similarly to the previous seasons, the filming location is once again Calgary.
