The third season of Fargo, an American anthology black comedy–crime drama television series created by Noah Hawley, premiered on April 19, 2017, on the basic cable network FX. The season will consist of ten episodes. As an anthology, each Fargo season possesses its own self-contained narrative, following a disparate set of characters in various settings, albeit in a connected shared universe.
The third season is set around December 2010 in three towns in Minnesota: St. Cloud, Eden Valley, and Eden Prairie. It follows the lives of a couple, Ray Stussy (Ewan McGregor) and Nikki Swango (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), who, after unsuccessfully trying to rob Ray's brother Emmit (also played by McGregor), become involved in a double murder case, including an old man with a mysterious past whose stepdaughter Gloria Burgle (Carrie Coon) is a policewoman. Meanwhile, Emmit tries to cut his ties with a shady organization he borrowed money from two years prior, but the company, whose employees include V. M. Varga (David Thewlis) and Yuri Gurka (Goran Bogdan), have other plans.
Season 3 began filming in early 2017 in Calgary, Alberta.
Billy Bob Thornton, who appeared as Lorne Malvo in season 1, narrates Peter and the Wolf in episode 4.
Ewan McGregor was cast in the lead dual role as Emmit and Ray Stussy, and Carrie Coon plays the lead female role, Gloria Burgle. In September 2016, Mary Elizabeth Winstead was cast in a major role as Nikki Swango and Scoot McNairy in a recurring role. In November 2016, it was announced that Jim Gaffigan had joined the main cast in the role of Donny Mashman. However, it was later announced that Gaffigan would not appear in the season due to scheduling conflicts. In December 2016, several new actors joined the cast, including David Thewlis, Michael Stuhlbarg, Shea Whigham, Karan Soni, Fred Melamed and Thomas Mann.
