The FX Channel’s new 10 part adaptation of FARGO, the classic 1996 film of the same name, has been bought up by Channel 4 and will air later this spring. Adapted by Noah Hawley (BONES), the new televisual take on the Coen Brother’s dark comedy stars Billy Bob Thornton, Martin Freeman, Kate Walsh and Bob Odenkirk. Channel 4’s chief creative officer Jay Hunt said:
“FARGO is a perfect Channel 4 show – a dark comedy, beautifully directed with a stunning cast. We are excited to be bringing it to a British audience.”
FARGO debuts on FX in the US on the 15th April, so expect C4 to start airing the show around then. And also, remember to let us know what you think of this new take on FARGO. Are you for it, or is the film just too iconic to remake?
