Season chronology

The fourth season of the American black comedy crime drama television series Fargo, billed as Fargo: Year Four and Fargo: Installment 4, aired on FX from September 27 to November 29, 2020, totaling 11 episodes. The series is an anthology about violent crime in the American Midwest, with each season acting as a self-contained story within the show's shared continuity. Set in Kansas City, Missouri from November 1950 to early 1951, the story details the rivalry between a crime syndicate made up of African American migrants fleeing the Jim Crow South, and the Italian Kansas City Mafia, as they both vie for control of the city's criminal underground.

The season was produced by FX Productions and MGM Television, with Noah Hawley serving as showrunner. It was originally scheduled to premiere on April 19, 2020, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Year Four stars a large ensemble cast featuring Chris Rock, Jessie Buckley, Jason Schwartzman, Ben Whishaw, Jack Huston, Salvatore Esposito, E'myri Crutchfield, Andrew Bird, Anji White, Jeremie Harris, Matthew Elam, and more.

Year Four was generally well-received by critics, who praised its themes of immigration and culture, as well as its production values and performances. However, many saw it as a step down from previous seasons.
