Noah Hawley was once attached to direct a Star Trek movie, and now I’m disappointed upon learning why Paramount scrapped it.

Fargo star Frances McDormand revealed why she took a decade-long break from press after her first Oscar win.

You betcha, these are some pretty interesting facts about the snow-bound crime classic

In Season 4 of the FX series Fargo, the year is 1950 and the location is Kansas City. The central struggle? Well, that's between two crime syndicates who are fighting each other for their own piece of the American dream by any means necessary. In a rather unusual move, Loy Cannon (Chris Rock), the head of the Black crime family at the center of the story, has traded his youngest son, Satchel (Rodney Jones), to Donatello Fadda (Tommaso Ragno), the head of the Italian mafia, who has turned over his youngest son Zero (Jameson Braccioforte), and the two families …

Admit it. When you first heard Noah Hawley was going to make a Fargo TV series you thought it was a terrible idea. After all, when he got the greenlight to make it at FX back in 2014, he had only done a small amount of television, and he had no track record that showed he would be successful trying at bringing the Coen brothers mentality to the small screen. But with Fargo Season four now airing on FX Sunday nights and the series continuing to get fantastic reviews, I think we can all admit we were wrong. Hawley has …

Creator Noah Hawley’s FX anthology series Fargo, which begins its fourth season on Sept. 27, is a notorious labyrinth of Easter eggs that don’t just reference back to the 1996 Joel and Ethan Coen movie on which it's based, but to past seasons where character and situations from one can – unexpectedly or not – appear or be mentioned in another. These overlapping stories, which frequently delve into the office politics of close-knit crime families as much as they do small-time criminals, have delighted fans as much as made them paranoid that they’ll miss something. Even …

When I began scouting for our Up-and-Comer of the Month feature, I had a funny feeling I'd end up picking someone from Fargo given my affection for Noah Hawley's brilliant FX series, but I had no idea who was going to stand out among the show's lesser-known cast members. The wonderful E'myri Crutchfield announces herself as a rising star with her turn as the show's conscience, Ethelrida Pearl Smutny, while musician Andrew Bird is very good as her father, Thurman. I also adored Kelsey Asbille as the fearless outlaw Swanee Capp, but …

Noah Hawley says his Star Trek movie won't feature Kirk or Picard, but will connect to the existing canon.

The Fargo embargo has been lifted, and I am now allowed to tell you that Season 4 is every bit as good as past installments. Noah Hawley's midwestern crime anthology really is the best show on television, and it's not even close. I tried to show some restraint in consuming the nine episodes that FX sent to critics, but alas, I had none, and couldn't help but binge-watch this bloody tale of ambition, power, and above all, family. Chris Rock plays the head of a rising Black crime syndicate vying for power held by the Italians, …

Even while working to improve its behind-the-camera diversity since 2015, one aspect of FX shows remains constant: They celebrate the showrunner as auteur, showcasing unique voices in a landscape where much television feels made by committee. With something like the anthology series Fargo, which returns for a fourth "year," that means putting an abundance of trust in the creative vision of Noah Hawley, whose TV work can at times be inconsistent but strives to be unlike anything else you're currently watching. While the show's name continues to pay homage to the original 1996 Coen brothers film, …

Folks, Fargo Season 4 is back on track. The new season of the critically acclaimed FX anthology series was originally poised to premiere this past April, just in time for Emmys eligibility, but that premiere date was cancelled as production was shut down due to the coronavirus. Today, however, FX has announced that filming on Fargo Season 4 is set to resume later this month, and the show will be premiering with the first two episodes on Sunday, September 27th at 10pm ET/PT on FX. New episodes of the show will air on Sundays at 10pm on FX, but …

Paramount has reportedly shelved the Star Trek movie being developed by Fargo's Noah Hawley, leaving the franchise's film future more uncertain than ever.

In lieu of a whole new season, FX's Fargo has gifted us with a new teaser trailer hyping up Season 4. Fargo newcomers Chris Rock, Jason Schwartzman, Timothy Olyphant, and Ben Whishaw definitely make a splash in the short and punchy teaser. In addition to regaling fans with new footage, this Fargo teaser also offers an update on Season 4's expected release date following news from March the the premiere date would be delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic. The teaser kicks off with a bang, as Glynn Turman's intriguingly-named character Doctor Senator remarks, "In America, …

The world of Fargo, both originally set up in the Coen Brothers' 1996 film and expanded upon in the Noah Hawley FX anthology series of the same name, is rife with black humor, abrupt acts of casual violence, and an inherently existential point of view. Even so, what just happened to the show as a result of, well, you know, *sighs heavily, gestures broadly*, is just a little much. Because the upcoming season 4's production was shut down due to coronavirus, that also means the upcoming airdate for the show has been postponed indefinitely. Here's the official statement …

2020 is giving Chris Rock room to stretch his artistic wings and feel himself. He's co-writing and starring in the latest Saw horror film, Spiral. And he's playing a bonafide gangster in the upcoming fourth season of Fargo, Noah Hawley's brilliant FX anthology series of crime in small-town America based on the Coen Brothers film. Rock spoke to Entertainment Weekly about his experience on the show -- and compared his character to one of television's best. "He’s a businessman, he’s a deacon at his church, he’s a loving father and husband, he …

From show creator Andrew Sodroski (who also ran the season about the Unabomber, featuring Paul Bettany and Sam Worthington, that aired on Discovery), the Spectrum Originals drama series Manhunt: Deadly Games chronicles the deadly bombing at the 1996 Olympic Games and the complex manhunt that followed. After first pointing the finger at the wrongly accused and innocent Richard Jewell (Cameron Britton), whose life was turned upside by the FBI and the national news media while he fought to clear his name, the FBI then focused their hunt on elusive serial bomber Eric Rudolph (Jack Huston), who had a very clear …

Though Fargo is a completely unique film, there are some great projects that have struck that same strange mix of murder and laughs.

Fargo is a rare example of a TV adaptation of a film that becomes critically acclaimed. And, according to IMDb, these are the 10 best episodes.

The Fargo movie, by the Coen brothers, and Noah Hawley's TV show claim to be "based on a true story," but are the critically-acclaimed stories true?
