While there is still no formal renewal for "Fargo," the season 2 pick-up looks imminent, reports TV Line. "Fargo" fans have been anticipating this news after the stellar season 1.
The first season received impressive reviews from critics. It also won Critic's Choice Television Awards, including Best Mini-Series Award. "Fargo's" success point lies in its storyline, which is why fans are hopeful that it will be picked up again for the second season. Looks like the commendation and recognition will not fail loyal fans of the show.
Presuming the renewal of "Fargo," show creator Noah Hawley is looking into having a fresh cast for season 2. However, there is speculation that Molly will return. Again, this is still unsure.
Allison Tolman, who played Molly in "Fargo" season 1 told TV Line, "I just don't know. There's discussion of there being a second season and it being a brand-new cast, [but] I'm just not sure."
She continued, "If it turns out we have seen the last of her detective, 'saying goodbye to that; will be hard. Being my first experience making a television show, it was really special. I was very well taken care of. I loved the people that I worked with. It was really a blessing."
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Hawley cleared the air for Molly's return or the return of other cast members. He made it clear that he wants a fresh and crisp cast. "It would be disingenuous, I think, to do the continuing adventures of.... It would stop feeling like real life. And also, I think that what Marge saw in the movie and what Molly saw here, it's a lot to take in and it will certainly stay with her for the rest of her life. But if you keep piling that stuff on, then whatever innocence or small town decency that she has is going to start to evolve into what is now all too common haunted demon hunter law man," he shared.
He further stated "That's basically our heroes now - they've got to be as bad as the villains they're chasing, and this a different kind of show."
Hawley is taking his work very seriously and he is very proud of "Fargo."
"Making Fargo for FX has been the highlight of my career," he said, according to Hollywood Reporter. "A writer can search his or her whole career for a network partner who truly understands and encourages their vision. For me, the search is over... I knew I'd found a home."
