The cable network has been teasing the series for weeks now with several 30-second spots, but this trailer offers a full minute of famous faces and Minnesotan accents. The show centers on a drifter, played by Billy Bob Thornton, who arrives in Fargo and sinisterly manipulates the town’s people, including _Sherlock_‘s Martin Freeman, _Breaking Bad_‘s Bob Odenkirk and _Dexter_‘s Colin Hanks. Also appearing: Kate Walsh, Oliver Platt, Adam Goldberg, Glenn Howerton, Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key. Ethan and Joel Coen, who produced the Academy Award-winning film, are executive producing the dark comedy, which premieres April 15. \[[_Vulture_](http://www.vulture.com/2014/03/new-fargo-trailer-rumor-travels-faster.html "undefined")\] Watch Billy Bob Thornton and Bob Odenkirk in FX 'Fargo' Trailer ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/29994/fargo-fx-trailer-billy-bob-thorton-martin-freeman/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/29994/fargo-fx-trailer-billy-bob-thorton-martin-freeman/"},"headline":"Watch The Star-Studded New Fargo Trailer","datePublished":"2014-03-19T12:30:26.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T06:50:34.445Z","description":"Billy Bob Thornton, Sherlock's Martin Freeman, Breaking Bad's Bob Odenkirk and Dexter's Colin Hanks all appear in trailer for FX TV series based on the Coen Brothers' 1996 movie","url":"https://time.com/29994/fargo-fx-trailer-billy-bob-thorton-martin-freeman/","keywords":["Television","Bob Odenkirk","Fargo","FX"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan Gibson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/megan-gibson/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/29994/fargo-fx-trailer-billy-bob-thorton-martin-freeman/","name":"Watch The Star-Studded New Fargo Trailer"}}]}] ```
