Fargo Season 4 Teaser: Josto Fadda Learns That Respect Must Be Earned

While we still don't have an exact return date for the award-winning FX anthology series Fargo with its fourth "installment" aka season, Noah Hawley and season star/EP Chris Rock are giving viewers a fresh look at what to expect. In "Big Fish," Glynn Turman's Doctor Senator returns- except this time, he's offering council to Jason Schwartzman's Josto Fadda that "respect is earned." As we see in the scenes that follow, earning that respect isn't going to be easy- and will definitely involve a see-saw:

When the series does finally make it to air, Rock is promising viewers that if there's one word to describe the fourth season, it's big. Actually, think very big: "It's the biggest Fargo. The scale is tremendous. Fargo normally tells little stories that get out of hand. They're about ordinary people, something happens, and then we get to see how evil ordinary people can be. This is quite different. We start off gangsters, so we're beginning with bad people, and then it escalates."

In 1950, at the end of two great American migrations — that of Southern Europeans from countries like Italy, who came to the US at the turn of the last century and settled in northern cities like New York, Chicago — and African Americans who left the south in great numbers to escape Jim Crow and moved to those same cities — you saw a collision of outsiders, all 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 (Rock) — have struck an uneasy peace, which the heads of both families have cemented by trading their youngest sons.Together they control an alternate economy — that of exploitation, graft and drugs. This too is the history of America.

Cannon is the head of one family, a man who — in order to prosper — has surrendered his oldest boy to his enemy, and who must in turn raise his son's enemy as his own. It's an uneasy peace, but profitable. And then the head of the Kansas City mafia goes into the hospital for routine surgery and dies. And everything changes.

It's a story of immigration and assimilation, and the things we do for money. And as always, a story of basically decent people who are probably in over their heads. You know, Fargo.
