Despite filming in and around Chicago last season, Fargo – a production all too familiar to Albertans, will be back this fall. If of course, you’re unfamiliar with the show, this anthology series will star Jon Hamm (Mad Men), Juno Temple (Ted Lasso), Jennifer Jason Leigh (Atypical) and Joe Keery (Stranger Things). Unfortunately, producer Noah Hawley has stayed pretty hush-hush about the plot so we’ll have to wait to see what’s up.
