The season updates the setting close to the modern day, with the action taking place in Minnesota and North Dakota in 2019; it is currently unknown how many episodes there will be.

Despite the upcoming premiere of the fifth season, showrunner Hawley has previously teased that this could be the final instalment, previously revealing that he has been conceiving the conclusion.
"Yeah, I think so," he said of the possibility of creating an ending. "I don't have it yet. I have pieces that will have to survive. They're not connected. I think it would be good to create an ending, and deliberately come to something, knowing it's the last one and see how one might wrap up this anthology."
Fargo season 5 will premiere on FX and Hulu on November 21.
