'Fargo' Season 4 Is Happening With Chris Rock Starring
Update:
Fargo creator Noah Hawley, as he promised, has found a date on his calendar and is moving forward with a fourth season of his Emmy-winning series today toplined by Chris Rock who'll play the head of a crime family. FX Networks and Productions CEO John Landgraf announced the news today at TCA.
Series EP Warren Littlefield told Deadline back in June that they have a city and year for season 4, and as unveiled today that's 1950, Kansas City, Missouri.
Essentially the locale will serve as the crossroads and collisions of two migrations, Italians coming from Italy and African Americans fleeing the south to escape Jim Crow, both fighting for a piece of the American dream as two controlling crime syndicates. They are at an uneasy peace controlling an alternate economy of exploitation, graft and drugs. To cement their peace, the heads of both families have traded their eldest sons.
Rock's character in order to prosper has surrendered his oldest boy to his enemy, and who must in turn raise his son's enemy as his own. Then the head of the Kansas City mafia goes into the hospital for routine surgery and dies. And everything changes.
Rock said in a statement, "I'm a fan of Fargo and I can't wait to work with Noah."
