Fargo season 5 brings in new cast members Jon Hamm, Juno Temple, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Joe Keery, Lamorne Morris and Richa Moorjani.

Fargo season 5 trailer
The Fargo season 5 trailer reveals that the latest installment is set in Minnesota and North Dakota. It takes place in 2019, which is the most modern date that's been explored throughout the entirety of the series yet. The first show footage in the clip reveals that seemingly normal Midwestern housewife Dorothy "Dot" Lyon (Juno Temple) is not who she says she is, as evidenced by a quick exchange between her husband Wayne (David Rysdahl) and two special agents.
She's been on the run for a long time, with North Dakota sheriff Roy Tillman (Jon Hamm) on her tail. With son Gator (Joe Keery) by his side, Roy seeks to both track Dot down and unravel some of her deepest, darkest secrets about the life she once lived years ago. To do that, Roy works alongside the mysterious Ole Munch (Sam Spruell) to get to the bottom of the situation. Meanwhile, Wayne flees to his mother Lorraine Lyon (Jennifer Jason Leigh) to find a way to protect himself and his family from his wife's old ways.
The trailer is a cacophony of shooting, folks being hit aside the head with blunt instruments, semis crashing into cars, and Jon Hamm's bare butt. It looks like exactly what we've come to expect over the years, in other words.
