FX's Fargo returns for a fifth installment, this time set in Minnesota and North Dakota in 2019, when an unexpected series of events lands Dorothy “Dot” Lyon (Juno Temple) in hot water with authorities. Suddenly, the seemingly typical Midwestern housewife is plunged back into a life of crime she thought she had left behind.
Meanwhile, North Dakota Sheriff Roy Tillman (Jon Hamm) has been searching for Dot for a long time. A rancher, preacher and constitutional lawman, Roy believes that because he is the law, he's above it. At his side is his loyal but feckless son, Gator (Joe Keery), who is desperate to prove himself to his larger-than-life father. But when it comes to hunting Dot, Roy prefers to enlist Ole Munch (Sam Spruell), a shadowy drifter of mysterious origin.
With her secrets beginning to unravel, Dot attempts to shield her family from her past, but her well-meaning husband Wayne (David Rysdahl) keeps running to his mother, Lorraine Lyon (Jennifer Jason Leigh), for help. CEO of the largest debt collection agency in the country, the “Queen of Debt” is unimpressed with her son's choice in a wife. When Dot's unusual behavior catches the attention of Minnesota Police Deputy Indira Olmstead (Richa Moorjani) and North Dakota Deputy Witt Farr (Lamorne Morris), Lorraine sends her in-house counsel and primary advisor, Danish Graves (Dave Foley), to Dot's aid.
