The ‘Old Border Town’ has a little over a month until it makes its small-screen debut when Fargo, Season 4 hits FX. The series, staring Chris Rock, is set to debut on FX on April 19, but the premiere was pushed back due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Filming on the latest season of Fargo began last October and continued on and off through March when filming was shut down due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. Further scenes scheduled to be shot in the town were canceled due to the pandemic.

In return, Donatello surrenders his youngest son Zero (Jameson Braccioforte) to Loy. When Donatello dies in the hospital following a routine surgery, the tenuous truce is threatened…
The new season of Fargo stars Chris Rock, Jason Schwartzman, Ben Whishaw, Jessie Buckley, Jack Huston, and Timothy Olyphant. The first two episodes will debut on September 27th on FX.
