Fargo is an American black comedy-crime drama television series created and primarily written by showrunner Noah Hawley. It is based on the 1996 film of the same name written and directed by the Coen brothers. The Coens, whose other films also heavy influenced the series, were originally uninvolved with the series, but joined as executive producers after being impressed by Hawley's script for the first season.[3][4] The series premiered on April 15, 2014, on FX.[4]
Fargo is an anthology series consisting of self-contained seasons, although they all share the same continuity as the film and feature minor overlaps. Five seasons of the show have been released between 2014 and 2024, each with a different setting, cast and characters; the time periods also largely vary, ranging from 1950 in season four to 2020 in season five, although they all take place in the American Midwest, primarily Minnesota. The storylines differ with each season, but typically follow large casts of characters including organized criminals, law enforcement and regular civilians as their interwoven lives spiral into conflicts and bloodshed.
The series received a large number of awards and nominations, mostly for its performances; these include two Primetime Emmy Awards (including Outstanding Limited Series for its first season) out of 20 nominations, three Golden Globe Awards (including Best Miniseries or Television Film, also for its first season) out of 13 nominations, and eight Critics' Choice Television Awards (including Best Movie/Miniseries twice for its first two seasons) out of 22 nominations.
