The ‘Mad Men’ star will play the lead on the new season of the FX series.

Chris Rock stars in the new season, which was first scheduled for last spring.

FX’s ‘Fargo’ enters the selfie age with Season 3, but might need a bit more reflection on Noah Hawley’s passion for this weird and wonderful world. Our early review, before dueling Ewan McGregors come to blows on April 19.

You’d think we’d get tired of Fargo Season 3, and the unfathomable pinheadery of all its nonsense-phrases, but Mary Elizabeth Winstead delivers them with such gusto. See for yourself (and get an in-depth look at this season’s story) with a new extended featurette for Installment 3 of FX’s Noah Hawley drama.

Was one Fargo sneak peek not enough for you? Well, prepare for all the murder, McGregor and Minnesota you can handle, as the first full “Installment 3” trailer takes us into the world of competitive bridge-playing. Yes, you read that correctly.

Having stayed in the snow all 2017, Fargo finally thawed out Season 3's first look at new characters played by Carrie Coon, Ewan McGregor and Mary Elizabeth Winstead, yet something was missing. Meet the other, significantly more handsome Stussy brother, as Ewan McGregor’s double role officially comes to light.

Fargo only started filming Season 3 in January, though it seemed at least odd of the Minnesota murder-drama to announce an April premiere with nary a photo or footage to follow. Thankfully, Santa’s here to make a late drop-off of the first Season 3 teaser, and he might regret it.

Raise your hand if you get bored and try out different accents. This is a habit I picked up as a kid that continues to this day. After watching the first season of Justified, for example, the rural Kentucky accent wormed its way so deeply into my brain that I had a hard time turning it off. As a result, one of my favorite videos of 2016 was this Wired piece where a dialogue coach weighed in on 32 different performances. It really highlights the amount of detail that goes into every single sentence an actor delivers.

At long last, Fargo Season 3 is finally starting to thaw out of that Minnesota cold. Not only do we have an impressive cast list, but also a spring premiere window, as cast and crew discuss the third year’s notably modern setting. Plus, what “kiss with the past” can we look forward to?

It’s difficult to say when FX might finally thaw out Fargo for some Season 3 footage, but the way this cast is going, they’d better break out the heaters. Latest to join the next chapter of Minnesota murder and mayhem is none other than Harry Potter favorite David Thewlis, albeit presumably not as a werewolf. If only!

Each and every Fargo Season 3 addition has been something to get excited over, and that trend shows no signs of stopping. Following the landmark addition of Mary Elizabeth Winstead, latest to sign on for Minnesota murder is Batman v. Superman star Scoot McNairy, but as whom?

The first season of FX’s Fargo established the series as an entity independent from the film, without necessarily promising a sequel. Along came Season 2 to push Fargo closer to an anthology model, but according to creator Noah Hawley, if Season 3 doesn’t end up the final Fargo chapter, they may follow Louis C.K.’s practice of delaying new seasons until a worthy idea surfaces.
