What is Fargo all about?

Fargo is connected to the original film and takes place in the same fictional universe. While there is a small aspect of contextual overlap between the seasons of the shows, they take place between different time periods. Whereas the first season takes place in Minnesota and North Dakota from January 2006 to February 2007, the second takes place in Minnesota, North and South Dakota in March 1979. 

The last season of the show took place in Kansas City, Missouri in 1950 and 1951. As per an announcement from February 2022, the show is set to take place in 2019. Like other seasons of the show, except Season 4, Fargo Season 5 will have 10 episodes as well. The series is set to premiere on November 21, later this year.
