Fargo - Season 3 - Set a Few Years After Season 1; Old Characters May Return - best f y

Season 3 will take place a couple years after the first season, EW has learned exclusively.

“It’s more contemporary,” showrunner Noah Hawley said when asked about the season 3 time period. “It’s set a couple years after season 1.”

Asked if this means some characters from the first season will return (or maybe even we’ll see older versions of characters from season 2), the writer-producer replied, “Potentially.”

“There are going to be connections, the way the first year was connected to the movie and the second year was connected to the first, but I think part of the fun is figuring that stuff out and I wouldn’t want to take that away from anybody,” he said. “There will be definitely things that connect to something in our story.”

Fargo has been building toward a dramatic confrontation and the fabled “Massacre at Sioux Falls” all season, and there are only two episodes left. Fargo airs Monday nights on FX. Is there any chance Kansas City enforcer Mike Milligan (Bokeem Woodbine) can somehow survive so he can return next season, around 60 years old and more lethal than ever?
