Season 3 Of Fargo Not Being Ready Until At Least 2017 Is Flat Out Malarky
Variety- “Fargo” showrunner Noah Hawley doesn’t expect Season 3 of the acclaimed anthology to be ready before 2017. Hawley revealed that and a few other details about his plans for the third season during a postmortem conference call for the second season of the FX drama. “The reality is you won’t see it in 2016,” Hawley said. “It’s a winter show for better or worse. There is not time to shoot another year before this winter is over.”
Hawley also wants to ensure as much of the third season is written before shooting begins. “It’s also very important to me and the other producers that we separate the writing from production. We take our time and break the whole story, write eight of the 10 hours at least and we end up knowing exactly what we’re doing and exactly what the whole story is. We’re going through the writing process now. I’ve written the first hour, we’re about halfway through breaking the season. We’ll be writing over the next few months with the idea we’ll go into production, much like our first year, in November and be back on the air in spring of 2017.”
So KFC blogged about season 2 of Fargo the other day and I basically agreed with everything he had to say. Fargo has become one of the best shows on TV regardless of storyline or characters. So this news cuts deep. I don’t watch a lot of TV shows, but it seems like most of the ones I do begin and end at random times, whether it’s Always Sunny, The Challenge, or South Park, which drives me nuts. All I ask for is a little bit of stability in my TV watching life. If Game of Thrones can start their season in April every year with like one million different locations and actors, I think the creators of Fargo can handle it.
So here is my message to the creators of Fargo: You got a fanbase. You got a responsibility. If your dog gets lost you don’t look for an hour then call it quits. You get your ass out there and you find that fucking dog!
Oops, I mean, if your fanbase wants to see the show in 2016, you get your ass out to some other cold place that always has snow and you film that fucking show!
They film Fargo in Calgary. Are you trying to tell me that Calgary looks like Cancun right now? Bang out your 10 episodes and lets make Fargo an annual treasure we can expect around football season every year. And again, a hearty thank you to the creators of Fargo. I love you and your show immensely. But please get your shit together ASAP.
