‘Fargo’ Season 3 News: New Season May Be a Long Wait
Fans of the "Fargo" series that just wrapped up its Season 2 run might have to wait a long time before they get Season 3 on their screens. A new comment has been made about the production dates that seem to point toward a spring debut in 2017.
According to The Huffington Post, the creator and author of the series Noah Hawley weighed in on Season 3 shortly after the Season 2 finale and gave TV news reporters a little insight into their schedule moving forward.
Since the overwhelming success and praise for the first two seasons, the show has decided to put quality over quantity. The showrunners and Hawley see the series as an authentic project that really needs to deliver to its fans.
So with that in mind, Hawley announced that Season 3 will not even start filming until November of 2016. He also projected the premiere date on FX to be around spring of the following year, in 2017.
The series has been progressing with a lot of time jumps. It is almost seeming to be an anthology type of series but not quite. The seasonal time jumps still involve a broader portion of the stories that in certain ways mix in with each other.
A good example of this could be the younger versions of certain characters like Lou Solverson in Season 2.
Since Season 1 took place in 2006 and Season 2 took place in 1979, Season 3 is looking to take on a contemporary theme, set it in 2010.
"We're in the age of selfies now," Hawley said. "People photograph the food they're eating and share it. We wanted to explore how antithetical that can be to the Lutheran predelictions [sic] of the region."
Although he did say that Lou and Molly Solverson (father and daughter) could indeed make an appearance in Season 3, played by their Season 1 actors, but that does not mean they are going to be central characters in the story.
Hawley said he looks at the movie as the starting point for the series canon. He described this as finding what is authentic about the story instead of rehashing the same one twice. He doesn't want fans of the show to get bogged down with a duplicate season.
