While the Fox subsidiary FX Network has not officially renewed their critical acclaimed, hit with viewers Fargo, inspired by the Coen Brothers epic dark-comic masterpiece of the same name, TV series creator Noah Hawley is more than happy to talk about his future plans for the show--as he has already signed a two year/season contract. Noah has even hinted at there being at least a Season 2 and 3, but you shouldn't expect to see Peter Jackson's Hobbit Bilbo Baggins' Martin Freeman in them. Spoilers: Martin pleaded for years to be allowed to rape someone again on film, and now that he has satiated his darker compulsions it is doubtful that he will need to do so again for some time. Billy Bob Thornton also seemed to opt out of another run rather early. Though the Sling Blade visionary has retired from creating movies of his own anymore, a big appeal for the Boxmasters musician was the one season series commitment.
British actor Martin Freeman felt trapped in his straight-laced Office persona for years, just dying to let his darker side out on-screen as the years compiled.
Martin told TV Guide that he wasn't really a deviant; he just needed to play one on TV on an almost pathological level:
I've said to my agents for ages in a kind of lighthearted way that I think I need to play a serial killer, a f---ing rapist, drug dealer, whatever. Partly because people don't see me like that and partly because I want to flex those muscles again.
"It's not that I'm a serial killer or anything...But it's in everybody. We all have those moments where you do want to throw someone out of a window."
There has been a lot of speculation as to whether or not Fargo will be returning for a second season, but if you talk to showrunner Noah Hawley for any length of time it is clear that he has already been given the go ahead.
Noah, who just signed another two-year deal to work with FX last month, seems to be more concerned with whether he wants to go one for more seasons os not, instead of any studio green-lights (via Bustle):
"I could probably see my way clear in doing a third, but I don't really know past that if it's worth doing or whether it's just good to move on to the next thing."
Well...that reall all depends on what that next thing you move to is...now doesn't it?
