There was no way of telling whether or not Noah Hawley would be able to actually recreate the tone of the Coen Brother original cult classic film Fargo, for the FX network series of the same name, but the showrunner/creator has knocked it out of the park, thanks to the most talented cast on television today. In addition to dark force Billy Bob Thornton, who has retired form directing major motion pictures, is Peter Jackson's Bilbo Baggins Hobbit Martin Freeman, who has been begging for a couple of good hearty rape scenes since ending his run on the Office. But the most impressive casting of all has to be in comedians Bob Odenkirk and comedy team Jordan Peele and Keagan-Michael Key. Perhaps that is why Hawley is so confident that he will be getting an opportunity to make Season 2 and 3 if he so desire, despite FX remaining remarkably silent on the subject. He must know something wither they or we don't.
If you asks English actor Martin Freeman what he favorite thing about acting--besides the obvious answers of: fame, money, privilege, drugs, comfort and free time--he might mention something about exorcising his inner demons.
Because to her him tell it, if Martin doesn't get to scratch some of his darker itches on screen, he can become a little antsy in his real life (via TV Guide):
"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."
Thankfully for us Noah Hawley just wants to make good television instead of act out his dark fantasies on film, so he will be making at least one maybe even two more seasons of the dark comedic hit (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."
Let's just hope he gets the deal signed before crazy-ass Martin Freeman does something that to bring the whole project down.
