Fargo season 5 premiered its first 2 episodes, setting the stage for another storyline about Midwestern murder and mayhem. Based on the Coen Brothers' 1996 black comedy, the anthology series from Noah Hawley skips from location to location each year in pursuit of another investigation. Season 5 takes place in 2019, making it the closest to the present day thus far, and returns the show to its Minnesota roots with Ted Lasso's Juno Temple leading the cast as Dot Lyons.
