Popular anthology series ‘Fargo’ to film upcoming season in Calgary

As our popularity within the film industry continues to grow, so does the long list of productions taking place within Calgary. This month we saw a major announcement concerning the fifth season of an old faithful – which recently took time away from YYC to shoot elsewhere, and we couldn’t be more excited to have them back.

With a loyal fan base, FX’s Anthology series, Fargo, is one of the biggest TV shows to film almost entirely in and around Calgary with the exception of season 4 – which starred Chris Rock as a businessman engaged in a turf war with a rival family.

While it’s unclear why they chose to film Rock’s season in Chicago instead, Production Weekly, a credible industry newsletter, has confirmed that this upcoming season will return to Alberta – where episodes 1 to 30 were shot between 2014 and 2017.

As of right now, it’s unclear who will star in this upcoming season but we have high hopes for a stellar cast list – which in the past has seen the likes of Colin Hanks, Martin Freeman., Kirsten Dunst, Ewan McGregor, and Billy Bob Thorton, just to name a few.

As always, we’ll keep an on Calgary-brand Fargo news as it comes to light – as well as everything else filming in and around the area!

We have a feeling it’s only going to get better and more exciting from here!
