The third season of Fargo won't come until 2017, its creator Noah Hawley has revealed, because he wants to film the show in the winter.

Wrapping up its second season, the anthology drama will return, but scheduling means that it won't be possible to shoot in 2016.
Speaking to Deadline, Hawley explained: "It's a question of quality, I think. It's a question of our process. We sit down and we break the whole season and then we write about eight of the 10 scripts all before we start shooting.
"That allows us to prep all 10 hours like a movie and then we know everything that happens, every set we need to build, every location we need to find, and to really have a sense of how to cast it by really knowing the journey the characters go on."
He continued: "Winter in that region is a huge part of the identity of the story. This year we had a warmer winter and because of our schedule we ended up going into spring, which was nice to see.
"But I feel like we need to shoot this next year in winter and as a result, because we are half through this winter and we would never be able to write it in time, therefore we are going to shoot next winter. I have another show to launch in the interim with Legion.
"Also, my hope is that there is an event quality to the show so if the idea is that we're just going to premiere every year on the same day, how are we not just a television show?"
