How to watch every episode of 'Fargo' seasons 1–4 (2024)

Created by Noah Hawley,each season of Fargo (based on the Academy Award-winning feature film by the Coen brothers) features an all-new 'true crime' story. They all follow a new case and new characters, all are entrenched in the trademark humour, murder and 'Minnesota nice' that made the film an enduring classic.

The production of the fourth season of Fargo was delayed because of COVID-19, but it is finally landing on our screens this October. And even though you don't necessarily need a catch-up, because these are standalone seasons, we couldn't resist bringing back seasons 1–3 before season 4 begins on SBS and at SBS On Demand.

The first season of Fargo features Billy Bob Thornton as Lorne Malvo, a rootless, manipulative man who meets and forever changes the life of small-town insurance salesman Lester Nygaard, played by Martin Freeman. Colin Hanks plays Duluth Police Deputy, Gus Grimly, a single dad who must choose between his own personal safety and his duty as a policeman when he comes face to face with a killer. Allison Tolman also stars as Molly Solverson, an ambitious Bemidji deputy.
