FX Closes Deal to Develop Fargo as a TV Series with Coen Brothers Executive Producing

Back in March, it was revealed that FX were in very early conversations with MGM about a potential TV series based on the Academy Award winning Joel Coen & Ethan Coen film. Now, Deadline reports FX have closed the deal and are actively developing the project, and that the Coen Brothers will be involved -- in title at least -- as executive producers.

Fargo will be written and executive produced by Noah Hawley, the creator of The Unusuals and My Generation, which will be co-produced by MGM and FX Productions.

Frances McDormand won an Oscar for her role as the lead character, police chief Marge, in Fargo, with the Coens themselves winning for best screenplay. It’s expected that Marge will be the main character – though we’ll see just how pregnant she is this time.
