"Fargo" season 2 just concluded this week and fans are already looking forward to what they will see in the next season.
FX President John Landgraf as well as executive producers Noah Hawley, Warren Littlefield, and John Cameron, revealed a few details about the show..
Season 3 of the show is set in 2010 and will have a contemporary story with a theme that will revolve around the "selfie-oriented culture."
"I like the idea what we're now living in a very selfie-oriented culture... it feels like a social dynamic that is very antithetical to the Lutheran pragmatism of the region. So many of our crime stories are based on the difficulty that people have expressing themselves and communicating... I like the idea of setting up these pragmatic and humble people against the culture of narcissism and [seeing] what that generates for us, story-wise," Hawley said according to The Verge.
The executive producer said that the modern culture is far from the pragmatic and humble culture seen in the show.
"Well, one of the things that is very interesting to me is in this modern moment where everyone photographs their meals and posts them online is a very confessional and very much about this desire to express every thought in a public way, literally the word “selfie” is a term.[It] is a very interesting idea to explore," Hawley added.
Hawley also said that there will be new characters for the next season which will be filmed in a winter season. Because of the setting, it needs to be filmed next winter which is also enough time for them to write the script. The script will be done months from now and will start filming on November 2017.
"It’s a question of quality, I think. It’s a question of our process. We sit down and we break the whole season and then we write about eight of the 10 scripts all before we start shooting. That allows us to prep all 10 hours like a movie and then we know everything that happens, every set we need to build, every location we need to find, and to really have a sense of how to cast it by really knowing the journey the characters go on," Hawley said in an interview with Deadline, when asked why it takes long for season 3.
"Fargo" season 3 is slated to premiere by 2017.
