Fargo: Season 2 Casts Patrick Wilson, Ted Danson, and Jean Smart — collider.com

FX’s Fargo was one of the best TV surprises of last year by co-opting the tone of the Coen Brothers‘ classic film, but still adding a unique stamp on the material.  The 10-episode anthology series is putting together a terrific new cast for its second season, and now has an excellent leading man in Patrick Wilson.  Season 2 takes place in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Luverne, Minnesota in 1979, and follows a young Lou Solverson (the older Lou played by Keith Carradine in Season 1) as he investigates a case involving a local crime gang and a major Mob syndicate.  FX has also announced that Ted Danson is on board to play Lou’s father-in-law, Sherriff Hank Larsson, and Jean Smart is signed to play crime family matriarch Floyd Gerhardt.
