Fargo

Billy Bob Thornton in Fargo

Photos and Story: Exec producer Noah Hawley talks of the creative process behind this third and so-far successful try at a Fargo television series. The show's Oscar-winning star Billy Bob Thornton offers a bit of advice to emerging actors.

 

The network looks to the future.

For actress Jean Smart, a juicy role on Fargo was her just reward.

Producers differ over whether to watch a season all at once.

Kirsten Dunst makes the move to TV

Actress and activist Elizabeth Marvel takes over as President of the United States on the new season of Homeland.

Intense emotion? Carrie Coon is all in.

For writer-producer Noah Hawley, the questions he asks himself are as important as the answers. His Q&A has led to two hit shows on FX this season, Legion and Fargo.

Dressing Chris Rock and company for the latest season of Fargo was a feat of research and engineering.
