Season 4 of Fargo (FX) ended with the confirmation that Satchel Cannon will grow up to be Mike Milligan from season 2. Since Fargo is an anthology series that takes place inside the world of the 1996 movie of the same name, fans are always looking for ways that the seasons are connected. We’ve seen characters, locations, and overall themes pop up in the different chapters that take place over a number of decades.

Fargo season 2 is connected to season 1 in that it’s a prequel. Lou and Molly Solverson are central characters in both, and there are several other appearances from known characters. Grady Numbers and Wes Wrench appear as children in season 2, and then as adults in the first season that go by Mr. Numbers and Mr. Wrench. The latter is the only character to appear in three seasons thus far. Hanzee Dent is an enforcer for the Gerhardt family who eventually betrays them in the 1979 timeline. He gets a new identity and plastic surgery, and becomes the leader of his own Fargo Mob in the 2006 timeline.

The mid-credits scene in episode 11 of season 4 confirms that Satchel Cannon will grow up to be the second season’s Mike Milligan. We realize that he remembers being raised by Rabbi Milligan at the home of the Fadda family, losing him, and then returning home to see his father Loy Cannon die. Later in life he goes to work for the Kansas City Mafia, which is what Ebal Violante turned the Fadda family into. He ultimately works for the organization that brought his father down, and ends the story stuck in an office job for the organization.

The original Fargo movie has one major connection to the TV series. Carl Showalter was killed shortly after burying a suitcase full of money in the snow in the movie. In season 1 of the show we saw Stavros Milos discover the briefcase as he was stranded on the side of the road near Brainerd, Minnesota. Most of the seasons have been in or around Minnesota, with the exception being the fourth season in Kansas City.

Minnesota, Kansas City, Fargo, North Dakota, and South Dakota have all been recurring in the TV series. Mr. Wrench has appeared in the most seasons, and he was the only big connection in season 3. Season 2 has the most connections as we see the prequel characters from Minnesota, and the season 4 characters related to the Kansas City Mafia. Hanzee Dent made the biggest transformation as Moses Tripoli, who doesn’t resemble the original character at all.

This video is a deep dive examination of how all the seasons of Fargo are connected. It explains the connections between the different seasons and the original movie. We talk about our Fargo theories, and discuss Coen Brother references we noticed. Let us know in the comments what easter eggs you found and what your favorite theories are for the rest of the series.

The fourth season of Fargo, an American anthology black comedy–crime drama television series created by Noah Hawley, premiered on September 27, 2020, on FX, and will consist of 11 episodes. The season was originally scheduled to premiere on April 19, 2020, but this was postponed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
As an anthology, each Fargo season possesses its own self-contained narrative, following a disparate set of characters in various settings and eras, albeit in a connected shared universe centered around the Midwestern United States and the titular city of Fargo, North Dakota. The fourth season is set in 1950 in Kansas City and the story follows two crime syndicates as they vie for control. The cast is led by Chris Rock, who plays Loy Cannon, the head of a crime syndicate made up of black migrants fleeing the Jim Crow South who have a contentious relationship with the Kansas City mafia. Other cast members include Jessie Buckley, Jack Huston, Jason Schwartzman, Ben Whishaw, and Timothy Olyphant.
