It's been two years since Fargo aired on our screens and now, fans' prayers have been answered as work on the highly-anticipated fifth season is currently underway.
Fargo is the award-winning black comedy crime drama which also doubles as an anthology series, meaning every season, there is a thrilling new story in store.

Newsweek has a recap of everything there is to know so far about Fargo Season 5 including release date, cast, trailer, plot, and more.
When Is Fargo Season 5 Out?
At the moment, Fargo Season 5 does not yet have a release date.

Judging by the release pattern of the previous four seasons, Fargo Season 5 could arrive in April 2023 at the earliest.
Who Stars in Fargo Season 5?
After months of silence, the cast of Fargo Season 5 has begun to be revealed.

Fans may well know Leigh from her role as Daisy Domergue in The Hateful Eight and Elsa Gardner in Atypical.
What Will Happen in Fargo Season 5?
FX has not given too much away about Fargo's plot in Season 5, but it will be set in a pre-pandemic world—the most contemporary setting to date—and will involve a pretty complicated kidnapping.
The short synopsis teases: "Fargo has traveled through decades, cities and families, and the fifth installment will be no different: Set in 2019, when is a kidnapping not a kidnapping, and what if your wife isn't yours?"
Season 5 will also be set in the upper Midwest and Emmy-winning showrunner Noah Hawley teased to The Hollywood Reporter Season 5 will be more comedic than other seasons.
He said: "It's particularly comedic this year. It's always a balance between how dramatic versus comedic it is, and this is the more comedic end of the spectrum. I really love it."
Hawley also teased Temple's character Dot is a "housewife with a secret."
Is There a Trailer for Fargo Season 5?
No, unfortunately at the moment there is no trailer for Fargo Season 5.
A trailer is likely to drop closer to the show's release date.
In the meantime, you can watch the first four seasons of Fargo via Hulu now.
Fargo Season 5 is coming soon to FX.
