Fargo Season 5 Teaser: Jon Hamm's Sheriff Tillman REALLY Wants Coffee

With the fifth installment of FX & Noah Hawley's Fargo arriving on November 21st, a new teaser spotlights Jon Hamm's Sheriff Roy Tillman.


When we last checked in on the fifth installment of FX and Noah Hawley's Fargo, we were introduced to Dorothy "Dot" Lyon (Juno Temple) via a teaser for the anthology series' November return. We learned that Dot is a real multitasker when it comes to getting done what needs to be done… even if it involves a Taser and a spiked baseball bat. But for this go-around, the spotlight shifts to someone who knows Dot all too well – Sheriff Roy Tillman (Jon Hamm). It seems that he's known who Dot really is for quite some time – and he's been after her ever since. And he's not someone who's willing to let the law stand in the way of him delivering justice – or common courtesy stand in the way of him streaming bacon and demanding coffee.

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.
