Hawley wanted viewers to sympathize with characters they might not feel empathy for in real life. The producers at one point discussed revisiting a modern period for their story. According to Hawley, the change in the time period helped to develop a sense of turbulence and violence in a world that \”could not be more fractured and complicated and desperate\”. A principal cast of five actors received star billing in the show’s second season, though Hawley did not tailor his characters with any specific actors in mind.
The search for talent was sometimes an exhaustive process that required advertising via custom built websites and social media. Once hired, the actors trained with a dialect coach to master a Minnesota accent. The actors were made aware of the frigid shooting conditions and any issues with the location and potential scheduling conflicts during production. The season’s first lead castings were in December 2014. The second season was realized as a prequel that takes place 27 years before the events of the first season in 1979, rotating between Luverne, Minnesota, Fargo, North Dakota and Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Season two’s episodes were shot in Calgary, Alberta over an 85-day period. The show’s core characters were increased to five, each with interconnecting arcs and different viewpoints of the central story. It follows the lives of a young couple—Peggy and Ed Blumquist —as they attempt to cover up the hit and run and homicide of Rye Gerhardt, the son of Floyd Gerhardt, matriarch of the Gerhardt crime family. The first season was inspired by Miller’s Crossing and The Man Who Wasn’t There, in addition to the show’s namesake film —was realized by Noah Hawley’s writing; it was based on his work in Friday Night Lights and Friday Night Bad. Hawley thought that that his bulky physique captured the deportment of his character’s character.
