It’s finally here, ya know: ‘Fargo’ unveils its first full season 3 trailer

By Rick Marshall Published March 22, 2017

There’s been no shortage of questions surrounding the upcoming third season of Fargo, the winner of multiple Primetime Emmy and Golden Globe Awards that returns for another quirky story told over the course of a new season this April.

Some of those questions finally got answered, however, in the recently released, first full-length trailer for the third season.

The trailer was released via the show’s official Twitter account and offers a good look at the two roles Ewan McGregor will play in the series: brothers Emmit and Ray Stussy.

The season appears to center on some sort of scheme involving the less-successful Ray Stussy and a character played by 10 Cloverfield Lane actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead. As early descriptions of the season suggested, Ray seems to have a grudge against his brother Emmit, the “Parking Lot King of Minnesota” and is planning to go outside the law to get what he thinks he is owed and increase his fortunes.

Along with McGregor and Winstead, the third season’s cast includes Gone Girl actress Carrie Coon in a lead role, as well as David Thewlis (Naked, Divorcing Jack) and Jim Gaffigan (The Jim Gaffigan Show) playing supporting characters. The story is expected to unfold across 10 episodes and have some connection to the previous season in much the same way the second season referenced its predecessor.

Set once again in Minnesota, the third season filmed in Calgary, Alberta, earlier in 2017.

Fargo premiered in 2014 and is inspired by the 1996 film of the same name written and directed by the Coen brothers. The series was created by Noah Hawley (Legion), who serves as both the primary writer and executive producer on the series along with the Coens.

The series has earned 16 Primetime Emmy Award nominations and won the award twice, including a win in the “Outstanding Limited Series” category for its first season. It has also been nominated for eight Golden Globe Awards and won twice, including the award for “Best Miniseries or Television Film” for its first season.

The third season of Fargo premieres April 19 on FX.

Daniel and Johnny stand on stumps and kick in Cobra Kai season 6.

All roads lead to the Valley in the Cobra Kai season 6, part 3 trailer.
"We need to go back where it all began," Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence say in the trailer. At the end of part 2, the Sekai Taikai unraveled into madness, as the tournament became an absolute brawl featuring students and coaches. The chaos even led to a student's death. Needing a winner, the Sekai Taikai moves to where the story of Cobra Kai began: the All Valley Karate Tournament.

"We need to face those enemies and take them all down, once and for all," Johnny says as Miyagi-Do prepares for battle.

One of HBO’s funniest comedies returns this March for its final season

Two men and a woman stand in a line and put their hands out.

Everyone's favorite family of televangelists returns for its fourth and final season this spring. HBO announced Thursday that The Righteous Gemstones will premiere at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Sunday, March 9, 2025. The nine-episode season will air on HBO and stream on Max.
In the season 4 teaser trailer, the Gemstone children — including Jesse, Kelvin, and Judy — finally have control of the church, while their father Eli drinks his life away on a boat. The Gemstone clan is in for a rude awakening as power comes with responsibility, which may disrupt their extravagant lifestyle. "The family’s codependence is tested as they attempt to move forward without letting go of their storied past," HBO's logline reads.
The Righteous Gemstones season 4 cast features Danny McBride as Jesse Gemstone, Adam Devine as Kelvin Gemstone, John Goodman as Eli Gemstone, and Edi Patterson as Judy Gemstone.
The rest of the ensemble includes Cassidy Freeman as Amber Gemstone, Tim Baltz as BJ, Tony Cavalero as Keefe Chambers, Greg Alan Williams as Martin Imari, Skyler Gisondo as Gideon Gemstone, Walton Goggins as Baby Billy Freeman, Jennifer Nettles as Aimee-Leigh Gemstone, James DuMont as Chad, Jody Hill as Levi, Troy Hogan as Matthew, Valyn Hall as Tiffany Freeman, Kelton DuMont as Pontius Gemstone, Gavin Munn as Abraham Gemstone, Megan Mullally as Lori Milsap, Arden Myrin as Jana Milsap, and Seann William Scott as Corey Milsap.

The Righteous Gemstones is created and written by McBride. While speaking to GQ, McBride joked that God told him it was time to end the show.
"It felt natural," McBride said about ending the show after four seasons. "I wrote the pilot for [Righteous Gemstones] in 2017, so when I finish up post [on season 4], I'll have been on this show for almost eight years. It doesn't seem like that, because we had a pandemic in the middle and a strike. But, yeah—the story came to me, and it felt like it was a story that was bringing all these themes and these ideas and these characters to a conclusion, to something that felt like completion."
Stream the first three seasons of The Righteous Gemstones on Max.
