Very loosely based on the 1996 Coen brothers classic of the same name, the first season starred Billy Bob Thornton, Martin Freeman and Colin Hanks and picked up three Emmy Awards. Season 2, which took place in 1979, starred Ted Danson, Patrick Wilson and Kirsten Dunst.

Season 3 is expected to take place in 2006 and star McGregor in the dual role of brothers Emmit and Ray Stussy.

“Emmit Stussy is the Parking Lot King of Minnesota,” FX said in a statement. “A handsome, self-made, real estate mogul and family man, Emmit sees himself as an American success story. His slightly younger brother, Ray Stussy, on the other hand is more of a cautionary tale. Balding, pot-bellied, Ray is the kind of guy who peaked in high school. Now a parole officer, Ray has a huge chip on his shoulder about the hand he’s been dealt, and he blames his brother, Emmit, for his misfortunes.”

FX also confirmed on Tuesday that actress Carrie Coon, currently starring in HBO’s sci-fi drama The Leftovers, will star as a police chief named Gloria Burgle. The news was first report on TV Line, where the character is described as “a practical woman who grabs the fire extinguisher when the bacon catches fire and everyone else panics. Gloria is the chief of the Eden Valley police, and a newly divorced mother, who is struggling to understand this new world around her where people connect more intimately with their phones than the people right in front of them.”

In December, Hawley has said that the third season would deal with our “selfie-oriented culture.”

“Our first year was set in 2006 but we didn’t really deal with what it was like to be in that region in a more contemporary world and I like the idea that we’re now living in a very selfie-oriented culture where people photograph what they’re eating and put it up for other people to see,” he said. “It feels like a social dynamic that is very antithetical to the sort of Lutheran pragmatism of the region. I like the idea of setting these very pragmatic and humble people against a culture of narcissism and see what that generates story-wise.”
