Fargo Season 5
Noah Hawley’s brilliant television adaptation, based on the 1996 film by the Coen brothers, is finally back for another instalment. The wait seemed never-ending almost. It has been three years since the last season and FX has invested heavily in making it an A-list affair. Jon Hamm, Juno Temple, and Jennifer Jason Leigh are among the star names in the ensemble.
As has always been the case, the stories for the different seasons are not interconnected per se. A semblance of commonality will be seen in terms of themes, storytelling, and tone. The universe is somewhat shared but only the ardent fans of Fargo will spot references.
Season 5 of Fargo is set in the year 2019 with a predominantly Western background.
The trailer promises a narrative that ebbs and flows. We are excited to bring you coverage of all the episodes in Season 5 with episodic recaps and preview articles for each new episode.
Here is everything you need to know about Fargo Season 5 Episode 9, including its release date, time, and where you can watch this.

What happened in Episode 8?
Episode 7 of Fargo begins Danish’s special plan to steal the election from Roy. He picks up three random names from the debt collector’s register and lawfully changes their names to “Roy (something) Tillman.” Later, we see the trio square up against Roy on a public stage and humiliate the current sheriff. Such is his performance and the turn of events that it seems unlikely his campaign will be able to recover from this blow.
But the main focus remains on Roy’s capturing of Dot. As he forces her to sign the release form at the hospital, Trooper Witt Farr walks in the door with a culprit. He goes up to Dot and confronts Roy, recognizing that she seeks help. To save his life, Dot pleads with Roy to allow Witt to go unharmed and willingly accompanies him and his men.
Gator is informed by Dot that his mother, Linda, is alive. She didn’t want to leave her son with a monster but had no other choice. But Roy brings Dot out of her stupor and emphatically tells her that Linda is dead. Not just that; he will bury Dot right next to her. Danish is informed by Witt that Dot is being held hostage at the ranch. He tries to save her but Roy shoots him dead.
Gator does not know Ole is shadowing him, indicating that his end is near. Indira catches Lars in the act with another woman and finally ends her marriage. She also takes up Lorraine’s security gig and promptly strategizes with her on how to save Dot.
