Timothy Olyphant Joins Season 4 of 'Fargo'!

Timothy Olyphant is joining the cast!

The 51-year-old Santa Clarita Diet actor is taking on a key role in the upcoming fourth season of Fargo, the network announced on Tuesday (September 17).

Season 4 is “set in 1950 in Kansas City, MO. The locale serves as the crossroads and collisions of two migrations — Southern Europeans from countries like Italy, and African Americans who left the south in great numbers to escape Jim Crow, both fighting for a piece of the American dream. In Kansas City, two criminal syndicates — one Italian, led by Donatello Fadda, one African American, led by Loy Cannon (Chris Rock) — have struck an uneasy peace, which the heads of both families have cemented by trading their youngest sons.”

Timothy will play Dick “Deafy” Wickware in what is described as a “major recurring role.”

Production on the season will begin this fall in Chicago, with a premiere to follow in 2020.
