Fans will be thrilled to know that it's finally been confirmed that Fargo season 4 will arrive on British TV screens this year.

Channel 4 have revealed they will premiere the 11-episode season this spring, airing a new episode weekly.

While there is no set date, Spring officially begins in just over a fortnight on March 20 - so it's sure to follow closely behind.

The hit TV show is set in Kansas in the 1950s, documenting the breakdown of a truce between rival Italian and Black crime groups.

Adding to its already impressive cast line-up, the new season will feature American comedian Chris Rock and English actor Ben Whishaw.

Channel 4's head of acquisitions and international Nick Lee revealed his excitement at seeing the show return to the screen.

"We are thrilled to bring back the biggest and most gripping Fargo yet, with some absolutely unmissable performances," he said.

"Fargo explores a breadth of engaging and complex storylines and it's a fantastic opportunity to bring this unique cinematic show to our audiences once again."

Filming of the drama was put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic, and as director Nick Hawley worked on his film Lucy in the Sky.

While the film was far from raved over, critics have suggested the upcoming Fargo will not disappoint its viewers.

Fargo season 4 will debut in the UK this spring on Channel 4.
