'Fargo' Season 2 Trailer & Premiere Date: First Teaser Out; Does It Bode Ill for the TV Series' Return?

After their critically acclaimed first season, "Fargo" is back for Season 2, but the first trailer recently unveiled apparently reveals very little about the upcoming season. According to Screen Rant, the anthology will return with new cast members, which include Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons, Patrick Wilson, Ted Danson and Nick Offerman.

The 30-second teaser for Season 2 shows the new cast member's appearances. The trailer reportedly features many significant attributes from Season 1 such as the perky accents and the frigid temperatures. However, according to the website, the trailer can be misleading and it is impossible to know if Season 2 will be as good as Season 1.

The official synopsis of Season 2 posted on Slashfilm states that the all-new season will travel back to 1979 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Luverne, Minnesota. Lou Solverson, who will be played by Wilson, is a young state police officer who came back just recently from Vietnam and will investigate a case which involves a local crime gang and a major mob syndicate. He will be helped by his father-in-law, Sheriff Hank Larsson, who will be played by Danson. Bokeem Woodbine will play the role of Mike Milligan who is also a detective.

It was reported that the investigation will lead them to the other characters in the show which includes Karl Weathers, played by Offerman, who is a town lawyer. Three-time Emmy award winner Brad Garrett will play Joe Bulo, who is the frontman of a crime syndicate.

His crew is said to have their eyes on the Gerhardt crime family in Fargo currently led by Floyd Gerhardt, played by Jean Smart. Playing her eldest son, Dood Gerhardt, is Jeffrey Donovan.

Jeffrey is said to be impatient and he also can't wait for his parents to die so that he can take over their business. Bear Gerhardt, who is the middle son of the family, will be played by Angus Sampson, and the youngest son Rye Gerhardt will be played by Kieran Culkin.

"Fargo" Season 2 is set to return to FX in September 2015.
