Critically acclaimed crime anthology series "Fargo" has just concluded its second season. Though the show has already been renewed for a third season, viewers shouldn't expect it until spring 2017.

Just like the past two installments, season 3 of "Fargo" will be a winter-themed show. Thus, filming won't commence until November 2016. The long break in between seasons also seems necessary given executive producer Noah Hawley's writing process.

"I think one of the strengths of the show is that we separate the writing from the production and we really take our time and we break the whole story and we write eight of the 10 hours at least and we end up there knowing exactly what we're doing, exactly what the whole story is," explained Hawley.

Hawley also revealed that he has already written the first hour of season 3. He and his writing team will spend the next few months completing scripts for the upcoming season.

Season 3 of "Fargo" will be set in 2010 and will tell a contemporary story. While the first season was set in 2006, it didn't really explore the contemporary setting of the region. While specific plot details have not yet been revealed, Hawley is interested in focusing on the importance of communication, especially how that manifests in today's selfie-oriented culture.

"So many of our crime stories are based on the difficulty of communicating," said Hawley. The crimes that have happened in the past two seasons could have been averted if certain characters could have just been honest.

For season 3, "Fargo" will once again try to tell a fresh and compelling story. As such, viewers shouldn't expect to see familiar faces or storylines.

"We don't go back to existing sets. We don't go back to existing cast members. It doesn't matter how cold it gets. There's this wonderful sense of ... we're making 'Fargo,' you know?" said producer Warren Littlefield. Hawley also discussed the lack of returning characters. Past seasons' characters have already gotten their resolutions and it would be a disservice to disrupt their resolved endings.
