'Fargo' Season 3 Spoilers, News Details: Premiere Set for April; Ewan McGregor Plays Two Roles

By Gracezyl Blanco, Thursday, March 09, 2017

FX's crime drama anthology "Fargo" is gearing towards its third season, and fans can expect for it to return on the small screen by April.

The show also revealed a first-look, 30-second teaser featuring Ewan McGregor, who is bound to play two roles in the upcoming season.

Not much is known about season 3's plot details, and the teaser only gives viewers a glance of a possible conflict between new characters Ray Stussy (McGregor), Nikki Swango (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and Gloria Burgle (Carrie Coon).

McGregor also play Stussy's brother, Emmit, known as "The Parking Lot King of Minnesota." In a description from Deadline, the Stussy brothers are constantly engaged in a sibling rivalry of sorts until what they do graduates to murder and mobsters. Between the two, it is Ray who is constantly living under the shadow of his brother, Emmit.

In the teaser video, Ray, a parole officer, and Swango, a recent parolee, are seen eating together in a diner. Burgle, a police chief, looked suspicious about the two and continues glancing at them while the two leave and get inside a car.

As parole officer Stussy, McGregor is almost unrecognizable with his balding, greasy look and pot-belly. Burgle's character, on the other hand, is a newly-divorced mother who is in the process of trying to understand the modern world where people connect with their phones more rather than the people who are in front of them.

Season 3 of "Fargo" will also star David Thewlis ("The Theory of Everything"), who plays V.M. Vargas, a loner and capitalist whose boss is plotting to partner with Emmit. Jim Gaffigan ("17 Again") and Michael Stuhlbarg ("A Serious Man") will also have roles in the upcoming season.

The show is mostly written by Noah Hawley ("Legion") and produced by Joel and Ethan Coen.

"Fargo" returns on April 19, 10 p.m. EDT on FX.
