Fargo Season 5 Teaser: Joe Keery's Gator Is Going to Get Someone Shot

Based on the latest mini-teaser for FX & Noah Hawley's Fargo Installment 5, Gator (Joe Keery) might want to keep his gun holstered.


So the last time we checked in with the upcoming fifth installment of FX and Noah Hawley's Fargo, we were being treated to the next in a series of mini-teasers introducing us to the season's major player. Previously, we had a chance to get to know "multitasker" Dorothy "Dot" Lyon (Juno Temple), "righteous" lawman Sheriff Roy Tillman (Jon Hamm), and Tillman's son Gator (Joe Keery). Well, there must've been something innocently endearing about Gator's inability to stay hidden because he's also the focus of the mini-preview that hit social media earlier today. But while this might look like another example of Gator at least getting an "A" for effort, it's also the kind of screw-up that can get someone shot.

A Look Inside FX's Fargo Installment 5

Here's a look back at the preview images and extended season overview that were previously released that introduced viewers to the major players in play this season:

After an unexpected series of events lands Dorothy "Dot" Lyon (Juno Temple) in hot water with the authorities, this seemingly typical Midwestern housewife suddenly is plunged back into a life she thought she had left behind.

North Dakota Sheriff Roy Tillman (Jon Hamm) has been searching for Dot for a long time. A rancher, preacher, and constitutional lawman, Roy believes that he is the law and therefore is above the law.

At his side is his loyal but feckless son, Gator (Joe Keery), who is desperate to prove himself to his larger-than-life father. Too bad he's hopeless. So when it comes to hunting Dot, Roy enlists Ole Munch (Sam Spruell), a shadowy drifter of mysterious origin.

With her deepest secrets beginning to unravel, Dot attempts to shield her family from her past, but her doting, well-meaning husband "Wayne" (David Rysdahl), keeps running to his mother, "Lorraine Lyon" (Jennifer Jason Leigh), for help. CEO of the largest Debt Collection Agency in the country, the "Queen of Debt" is unimpressed with her son's choice in a wife and spares no opportunity to voice her disapproval.

However, when Dot's unusual behavior catches the attention of Minnesota Police Deputy "Indira Olmstead" (Richa Moorjani) and North Dakota Deputy "Witt Farr" (Lamorne Morris), Lorraine appoints her in-house counsel and primary advisor, "Danish Graves" (Dave Foley), to aid her daughter-in-law. After all, family is family. But Dot has an uncanny knack for survival. And with her back to the wall, she's about to show why one should never provoke a mother Lyon.
