The new season of Fargo is set to premiere this Tuesday, November 21st, after originally being planned for a September release and being delayed due to the SAG-AFTRA strikes.
Jon Hamm, perhaps the perfect casting choice for Fargo, will be joined by Jennifer Jason Leigh for this season set in 2019. Hamm plays a sheriff who has been searching for a suspect called Dot (played by Ted Lasso‘s Juno Temple) for a long time. Jennifer Jason Leigh plays Dot’s mother-in-law.

Looking back, season 4 was the weakest yet
Season four is often referred to as the weakest chapter in an otherwise phenomenal series. From the first episode, there was just too much going on, too much to remember. Not to mention the long monologues in each episode that criticized America, which started to feel redundant by the end. If there was one reason to stick with the season, it was Chris Rock, who was a risky but ultimately a good choice to play the lead.
All four first seasons are available to watch on Hulu
There are currently 41 episodes of Fargo available to stream on Hulu. Because the first season started in 2014.
