Need to drive through the inner city this afternoon? You might need to find an alternate route! As confirmed on the official Downtown Calgary Twitter account, a major production will be filming in the SW and here’s what we know.
Starring Jon Hamm (Mad Men, Top Gun: Maverick) Juno Temple (Ted Lasso) and Joe Keery (Stranger Things), popular anthology series Fargo will be shooting its 5th season in and around the area until April 2023.
As of right now, we know very little about the plot – only that it will take place in 2019 and involve a kidnapping of sorts, but we still can’t wait to see our city back on the small screen!
