'Fargo' Season 3 News: Season 1 and Season 2 Characters Could Return
Even though the second season of "Fargo" had just concluded, the show's creator had already shared some details about the upcoming season of the series.
According to Variety, Noah Hawley, creator of the FOX series "Fargo," recently expounded on what the third season of the series will be like. He explained that the upcoming season will take place a couple of years after the first season of the film, which was set in 2006.
With the third season set in around 2010, fans can expect that the topic addressed in the new season will be more contemporary. Hawley added onto this by revealing that they plan on tackling how society was able to foster a selfie-oriented culture and the effect of social media in terms on conversing with each other.
He stated, "I like the idea that we're now living in a very selfie-oriented culture - people photograph what they're eating and put it up for other people to see — it feels like a social dynamic that is very antithetical to the Lutheran pragmatism of the region. So much of our crime stories are based around the difficulty people have expressing themselves and communicating."
With the time jump, there are speculations that Allison Tolman will return to the series as Deputy Molly Solverson, as well as Colin Hanks as Officer Gus Grimly. The two were last seen in the first season of "Fargo." Meanwhile, it was also rumored that characters from the second season will also be returning to the series. It was revealed that Charlie Gerhardt, played by Allan Dobrescu, and Mike Milligan, played by Bokeem Woodbine, will also be present as older versions of themselves, since season 2 took place many years ago.
With that, it can be expected that the series will present interesting and relevant ideas that will instigate powerful statements. However, fans will have to wait until 2017 to see what "Fargo" season 3 has in store.
