What time is the Fargo finale on Channel 4 tonight, who’s in the cast with Ewan McGregor and what’s season 3 about?
FARGO, the hit TV adaption of the critically acclaimed movie reaches the end of its third series tonight on Channel 4.
The drama stars Ewan McGregor - although some viewers may have trouble recognising the actor due to the dramatic transformation he underwent for the role. Here's all the info about Fargo and tonight's show...
When does season three of Fargo air on Channel 4?
The tenth and final episode airs TONIGHT (August 2) at 10:30pm.
Titled Somebody To Love, the show goes head-to-head with London News on BBC One, Holiday Horrors on ITV, Newsnight on BBC Two and Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On The Side on Channel 5.
Channel 4 has uploaded both seasons one and two to All 4, so we can all catch up.
What era is season three of Fargo set in?
Unlike series two, the third instalment of Fargo is close to the present day - 2010, to be exact.
The episodes are aimed to show viewers how much technology has changed the way people communicate, so be prepared to see the odd smartphone.
But although the decade has changed, the location obviously hasn't and it is still set in snowy Fargo, Minnesota.
What character does Ewan McGregor play?
Hollywood star Ewan actually plays two characters in season three.
The actor has been cast as brothers Emmit and Ray Stussy and the series focuses heavily on them both.
Following a petty theft, the brothers grew up to take very different paths.
While clean-cut Emmit is a happily married real estate mogul, Ray is a balding pot-bellied parole officer who has hooked up with his own parolee, fiancee Nikki Swango.
Speaking to The Hollywood reporter, Ewan said: "The challenging part is making sure they're both unique people.
"The challenge is making sure they're both different and believable people and the truth is that they feel very different when I'm playing them, so that's good and helpful."
Who else stars in it?
Bosses behind series three have kept the number of cast members to a minimum.
Among the few new faces is Mary Elizabeth Winstead, from Scott Pilgrim vs The World and 10 Cloverfield Lane.
Mary plays Ray's fiancee Nikki, who has been described as "a crafty and alluring recent parolee with a passion for competitive Bridge playing".
Gone Girl and Halt and Catch Fire star Scoot McNairy plays a small-time crook called Maurice LeFay.
Has the third series already aired elsewhere?
Fargo season three kicked off a month earlier in the US.
The series premiered on April 19 on American TV network FX.
Given this, fans in the UK had been given sneak peeks of episodes, including scenes of Ewan McGregor stripping naked.
