While season two of the critically-acclaimed crime mystery series Fargo just finished up this month, don’t expect a new season next year. “You won’t see it in 2016,” said the show’s creator and head writer Noah Hawley in a press conference call, according to Variety. “It’s a winter show for better or worse. There is not time to shoot another year before this winter is over.”

When season 3 does finally debut in 2017, it will jump ahead to the “selfie-oriented culture” of 2010 and, like each season before it, will feature a new cast. “It feels like a social dynamic that is very antithetical to the Lutheran pragmatism of the region,” explained Hawley. “So much of our crime stories are based around the difficulty people have expressing themselves and communicating.”

The show’s structure and style will feel similar but different “so we’re not repeating ourselves,” continued Hawley. “We’re always looking for connections and things that fit into the larger body of work we’re building, hopefully without ever seeming twee or precious or too clever by far.”

Fargo‘s debut season, which starred Billy Bob Thornton and Allison Tolman, won three Emmys (for Outstanding Miniseries, Outstanding Directing, and Outstanding Casting), a Golden Globe for Best Miniseries or Television Film, and one for Best Actor in a Miniseries or Television Film (for Thornton).

Season 2 of Fargo, starring Kirsten Dunst and Patrick Wilson, received three Golden Globe nominations last week: Best Mini-Series or Television Film, Best Performance by an Actress in a Mini-Series or Television Film (Dunst), and Best Performance by an Actor in a Mini-Series or Television Film (Wilson).

Other upcoming projects for Hawley include Marvel’s Legion, expected to debut next year, and a series adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle.

Production for season 3 is set to begin in November 2016. Expect Fargo season 3 to hit the air in spring 2017, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

If you’re a huge music fan, you’ve probably combed through the many playlists, artists, and albums of your Spotify or Apple Music subscription. But what about all the indie artists of the world? Some music-streaming platforms are better than others at celebrating the
‘unsung gem’ acts, but one of the most reliable forums for new, off-the-grid tunes is SoundCloud.

Founded in 2007, SoundCloud has always prioritized music that’s a bit under the radar. With over 320 million tracks in its library, the platform will even let you download a majority of its songs and albums.

Kid-friendly consumer tech is all the rage these days, so it’s no surprise that there’s an entire market of headphones designed exclusively for young ones. But when we think “kid-friendly,” sometimes we imagine products that are built to be a bit more throwaway than their adult counterparts. That’s not the case with the products on our list of the best headphones for kids, though.

We want our child-tailored headphones to include parental-controlled volume limiters, to ensure our children aren’t harming their eardrums. Pretty much every entry on our list checks this vital box, but we also wanted to point you and yours toward products that offer exceptional noise-canceling, built-in mics for phone and video calls, and long-lasting batteries for schooldays or a long flight.

Tinkering with the equalizer can be daunting to newcomers, as there are tons of cryptic settings you can manipulate. And if you mess with the wrong one, your sound quality might take a nasty hit. Thankfully, learning the basics isn't too difficult.
