Fargo is a 2014 American black comedy–crime drama miniseries created and written by Noah Hawley, based on the 1996 film of the same name written and directed by the Coen brothers. The series premiered on April 15, 2014, on FX, and follows an anthology format, with each season set in a different era and location, with a different story and mostly new characters and cast, although there is minor overlap.

The first season, set in 2006 and filmed in and around Calgary, Alberta, follows Lorne Malvo (Billy Bob Thornton) as he influences the lives of small-town insurance salesman Lester Nygaard (Martin Freeman) and police deputy Molly Solverson (Allison Tolman). The second season, set in 1979 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Luverne, Minnesota, follows state trooper Lou Solverson (Patrick Wilson) as he investigates a case involving a major crime boss, a small-time gangster and a local beautician (Kirsten Dunst). The third season, set in 2010, follows two detectives (Ewan McGregor, Carrie Coon) investigating the murder of a young woman in East Eden, Minnesota.
