Fargo season 5 will conclude with its final episode airing on January 16, 2024, marking the definitive conclusion of Dot Lyon and Sheriff Tillman's rivalry. The season consists of 10 episodes, following the pattern of previous seasons, allowing ample time for character development and storytelling. The full release schedule for Fargo season 5 has been provided, with episodes airing weekly on FX, starting from November 21, 2023.

Almost three years to the date since the last season ended, Fargo is back for season 5 on FX – how many episodes are in the season and when will the finale air? Fargo is based on the classic Coen brothers crime comedy of the same name, but rather than adapting its specific storylines and characters, the anthology series adapts the movie’s idiosyncratic tone. Series creator Noah Hawley has used the Coens’ uniquely quirky sensibility and pitch-black humor to tell similar crime stories in a similar Midwestern setting throughout Fargo’s critically acclaimed run.
