FX has been promoting Fargo as a "limited series" but that certainly doesn't mean that it can't be renewed for a second season with a new story and characters. Will this show be a ratings success? Stay tuned.
A new take on the classic movie, Fargo follows a drifter (Billy Bob Thornton) who comes to the community of Bemidji, Minnesota and starts influencing the population with his own brand of malice and violence. The cast includes Martin Freeman, Colin Hanks, Allison Tolman, Bob Odenkirk, Oliver Platt, Kate Walsh, Glenn Howerton, Joey King, Peter Breitmayer, Tom Musgrave, Josh Close, Russell Harvard, Adam Goldberg, Keegan-Michael Key, and Jordan Peele.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show's chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

With FX’s new series, Fargo, (premiering April 15th at 10/9c), it would seem that the writers, producers, and any creative person behind the scenes would be facing the wrong end of a loaded gun, trying to create a series based on a stunning, stellar film by two of the most creative filmmakers working today. But, I’ve been wrong before. Hannibal became one of my favorite shows on television easily, and judging by the pilot episode, ‘The Crocodile’s Dilemma,’ Fargo has stepped up into the realm of pilots that are very, very impressive.
You needn’t have seen the film to understand anything that occurs in the 90 minute premiere, though you’d be doing yourself an immense disservice. Fargo follows an all new mystery,...

FX has released some first look photos for a couple new series that the network is developing. The first two come from Guillermo del Toro's vampire series The Strain. The other two come from the small screen adaptation of the Coen Brothers' Fargo, which stars Martin Freeman and Billy Bob Thornton.
There's a lot to be excited a for about both of these series, and I'm looking forward to seeing how they turn out.
The Strain:
The tale is a high concept thriller that tells the story of Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Corey Stoll), the head of the Center for Disease Control Canary Team in New York City. He and his team are called upon to investigate a mysterious viral outbreak with hallmarks of an ancient and evil strain of vampirism. As the strain spreads, Eph, his team, and an assembly of everyday New Yorkers, wage war for the fate of humanity itself.
