Billy Bob Thornton, Martin Freeman, Colin Hanks and Allison Tolman shored up the cast for "Fargo's" first season, which recently picked up 18 Emmy nominations. The show was based on the 1996 Coen brothers movie that's considered a crime classic and made Fargo a household name for many across the country.

The second season of the TV show will be set in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and Luverne, Minnesota.

The show is filmed in the Canadian city of Calgary. The second season likely will air in fall 2015.
