Meanwhile, Deputy Molly Solverson (Allison Tolman) and Duluth police officer Gus Grimly (Colin Hanks) team up to solve a series of murders they believe may be linked to Malvo and Nygaard.

The first season, set primarily in Minnesota and North Dakota from January 2006 to February 2007, won the Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Miniseries, Outstanding Directing, and Outstanding Casting, and received 15 additional nominations including Outstanding Writing, another Outstanding Directing nomination, and acting nominations for all four leads.

Minnesota State Trooper Lou Solverson (Patrick Wilson) and his father-in-law, Rock County Sheriff Hank Larsson (Ted Danson), become entangled with the Blumquists, the Gerhardts, and the Kansas City mafia when they investigate a triple homicide connected to the Gerhardts at a diner in Luverne, Minnesota.

In 2010, St. Cloud probation officer Ray Stussy (Ewan McGregor) and his parolee girlfriend Nikki Swango (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) dream of a better, wealthier life. To achieve this, they attempt to steal a valuable vintage stamp from Ray's more successful older brother, Emmit (also played by McGregor), the self-proclaimed "Parking Lot King of Minnesota". However, their plans backfire, and the couple soon have to hide their involvement in two deaths, including the stepfather of former Eden Valley police chief Gloria Burgle (Carrie Coon). Meanwhile, Emmit wishes to pay back a shady organization he borrowed money from two years ago, but the company Narwhal and its employees, led by V. M. Varga (David Thewlis), have other plans.

To maintain peace, the groups agree to honor a tradition of trading the youngest sons between the two households. The alliance is jeopardized by the arrival of Josto's brash brother Gaetano (Salvatore Esposito), as well as the unorthodox actions taken by a nurse named Oraetta Mayflower (Jessie Buckley). Meanwhile, Oraetta's teenage neighbor, Ethelrida Pearl Smutny (E'myri Crutchfield), discovers her mortician parents are in debt to the Cannon Limited, which gets her entangled in the criminal activities of Kansas City.

{{Main|Fargo season 5}}

In 2019, Scandia housewife Dorothy "Dot" Lyon (Juno Temple) is kidnapped by Ole Munch (Sam Spruell), but escapes with help from North Dakota State Trooper Witt Farr (Lamorne Morris). When Dot returns home, she claims to her husband Wayne (David Rysdahl) that there was no kidnapping. While Farr and Scandia deputy Indira Olmstead (Richa Moorjani) investigate, Munch comes into conflict with the man who hired him, Roy Tillman (Jon Hamm), the constitutional sheriff of Stark County, North Dakota, and Dot's first husband, whom she fled ten years prior. On top of Tillman, Munch, and the police, Dot must also contend with Wayne's wealthy mother Lorraine (Jennifer Jason Leigh), the CEO of a debt collection agency who suspects Dot faked the kidnapping in order to extort her.

In 1997, a pilot was filmed for an intended television series based on the film. Set in Brainerd shortly after the events of the film, it starred Edie Falco as Marge Gunderson and Bruce Bohne reprising his role as Officer Lou. It was directed by Kathy Bates and featured no involvement from the Coen brothers. The episode aired in 2003, during Trio's Brilliant But Cancelled series of failed TV shows.{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/08/31/arts/television-reruns-edie-falco-in-fargo-and-other-gems-you-never-saw.html |title=Television: Reruns; Edie Falco in 'Fargo', and Other Gems You Never Saw |date=August 31, 2003 |newspaper=The New York Times|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150528000743/https://www.nytimes.com/2003/08/31/arts/television-reruns-edie-falco-in-fargo-and-other-gems-you-never-saw.html|archive-date=May 28, 2015|url-status=live}}

Following the series renewal in July 2014, creator Noah Hawley revealed that the second season would take place in 1979 and focus on Sioux Falls, South Dakota, as referred to by Lou Solverson and others in the first season. The ten episodes are set in Luverne, Minnesota; Fargo, North Dakota; and Sioux Falls. Hawley agreed that this takes place before the events of the film, but he believes all the stories connect: "I like the idea that somewhere out there is a big, leather-bound book that's the history of true crime in the Midwest, and the movie was Chapter 4; Season 1 was Chapter 9; and [Season 2] is Chapter 2," he said. "You can turn the pages of this book, and you just find this collection of stories. ... But I like the idea that these things are connected somehow, whether it's linearly or literally or thematically. That's what we play around with."{{cite web |last=Porter |first=Rick |url=http://www.zap2it.com/blogs/fargo_season_2_spoilers_fx_noah_hawley_keith_carradine_lou_solverson-2014-07 |title='Fargo' Season 2: EP Noah Hawley details where, when and how it's connected to Season 1 |website=Zap2it |date=July 21, 2014 |access-date=July 21, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140729114534/http://www.zap2it.com/blogs/fargo_season_2_spoilers_fx_noah_hawley_keith_carradine_lou_solverson-2014-07 |archive-date=July 29, 2014 |url-status=dead }} This book was realized in season 2, episode 9, "The Castle".{{cite news |url=https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/12/fargo-ufo-martin-freeman-season-2-episode-9-the-castle-recap |title=Fargo's Craziest Episode Is One We Really Should Have Seen Coming |magazine=Vanity Fair |first=Joanna |last=Robinson |date=December 8, 2015 |access-date=December 10, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151209075307/http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/12/fargo-ufo-martin-freeman-season-2-episode-9-the-castle-recap |archive-date=December 9, 2015 |url-status=live }} Production on the second season began in Calgary on January 19, 2015, and completed on May 20, 2015.{{cite web |url=http://www.actraalberta.com/whats-shooting/ |title=What's Shooting |website=ACTRA Alberta |access-date=June 3, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150614000814/http://www.actraalberta.com/whats-shooting/ |archive-date=June 14, 2015 |url-status=live }}
