FargoEverything we know so far about
Published on April 20, 2026 EDT Juno Temple, Jon Hamm, and Jennifer Jason Leigh star in the upcoming season, which follows a housewife whose past begins to slowly unravel after she lands in trouble with local authorities.

Aww jeez, it's almost time for more Fargo.

FX's Emmy award-winning anthology series, which is loosely inspired by the Joel and Ethan Coen film of the same name, is returning for its fifth season this fall and bringing a brand new, delightfully dark Midwest mystery along with it.

Set in 2019, the season will follow Dorothy "Dot" Lyon (Juno Temple), a modest housewife whose peculiar past begins to slowly unravel after she lands in trouble with local authorities. Jon Hamm, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Joe Keery, Lamorne Morris, Richa Moorjani, David Rysdahl, Dave Foley, and Sam Spruell also star.

From its cast to its mysterious plot, here's everything we know about Fargo season 5 so far.

After the previous season went back to the early 1950s to tell its noir-tinged story of crime in Kansas City, Mo., Fargo's new season will be its most current yet, taking place in both Minnesota and North Dakota in 2019.

Emmy-nominated actress Juno Temple stars as Dorothy "Dot" Lyon alongside David Rysdahl, who plays her doting husband Wayne Lyon, and Jennifer Jason Leigh as her no-nonsense mother-in-law Lorraine Lyon. Dave Foley serves as Lorraine's right-hand man, Danish Graves.

Meanwhile, Jon Hamm plays North Dakota Sheriff Roy Tillman, with Stranger Things fan-favorite Joe Keery starring as his son, Gator Tillman. New Girl's Lamorne Morris will play North Dakota Deputy Witt Farr, while Never Have I Ever's Richa Moorjani will play Minnesota Police Deputy Indira Olmstead. And last, but certainly not least, Sam Spruell will play a mysterious character named Ole Munch.

Fargo season 5 will introduce two important new families to Noah Hawley's Midwest universe: The Lyons and the Tillmans. In true Fargo fashion, Dot's legal trouble ends up setting off a chain reaction that sees the unassuming housewife thrown back into a world she thought she left behind.

But others, like North Dakota Sheriff Roy Tillman, haven't forgotten. The rancher, preacher, and constitutional lawman has spent years hunting down Dot with help from his son Gator and a drifter named Ole Munch. With her back against the wall, Dot must fight to protect herself and her family from her mysterious past.

The only problem? Dot's husband Wayne has already enlisted his mom Lorraine, the CEO of the largest debt collector's agency in the country, and her advisor Danish Graves to help Dot out of her legal troubles. However, her case has already piqued the curiosity of Minnesota Police Deputy Indira Olmstead and North Dakota Deputy Witt Farr, setting the stage for a truly unforgettable season.

Season 5 of Fargo will premiere on Nov. 21 on FX.
