'Fargo' Season 3 News, Update: Network Boss Teases Season 1 Actor Returning For New Installment
FX's critically-acclaimed crime anthology drama TV series "Fargo" will be bringing back a Season 1 character for its upcoming Season 3.
The report from Entertainment Weekly cited network chief John Landgraf sharing two essential details about the upcoming season during the Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena.
According to Landgraf, Season 3 will be set in 2010, which is four years after the Season 1's 2006 setting.

"The third cycle will take place in 2010 so will be not quite contemporary but quite recent, the most recent in terms of time frame of any installment of Fargo including the movie," the FX boss was quoted as saying over at Slashfilm.com
Landgraf, meanwhile, teased what showrunner Noah Hawley had hinted previously which is the slated return of a Season 1 character. EW speculated that the role will be reprised by the same actor.
"As far as I know, there is one [character returning]," he told EW. He, however, added that everything is still subject to change. "That doesn't mean [Hawley] might not change his mind and there might not be more."
Season 2, which saw the acts of Patrick Wilson as the younger Lou Solverson, featured what appears to be the show's recurring mystery. For those who missed it, the penultimate episode "The Castle" saw a flying saucer hovering above a motel where the infamous Sioux Falls massacre took place.
When pressed as to what this unidentified flying object doing in Minnesota, Landgraf chose to keep mum. He did however promise that he'll let Hawley provide answers to the big spaceship question.
Regardless, the network executive emphasized that the UFO is just like any "random acts of God or unexplained or extraordinary phenomenon" which many have claimed to have happened in real life. He also added that "…in essence our smallness in the face of the universe is a part of what Fargo is about."
