Tuesday FX will air the penultimate episode of its popular series Fargo. In preparation, executive producer and writer of the series, Noah Hawley, talked to the digitial media last Friday about the series.
Hawley knew very early on when writing the series that there would be ten episodes. He told SciFi Vision, "I was commissioned to write a pilot, which I wrote a script, and then, right away the conversation became about a straight series order, which I think had a lot to do with just good timing and the fact that the network was expanding, knew that they were going to expand it to two or three channels, and they wanted to launch into this limited series business. What was really exciting from the story standpoint, for me having written shows that have been cancelled relatively quickly, or where you never really get out of the gate story wise, is the idea that no matter what we did, FX was going to air all ten of them, and so you write knowing that you're going to be judged based on the totality of the story as opposed to people who get only a couple of episodes in.
