This November, after three full years of waiting, fans of FX’s “Fargo” will be treated to a brand new season. Unlike the anthology series’ fourth iteration, which served as a prequel to its first two, the upcoming fifth batch of episodes will tell an entirely original Midwestern crime story. Leading the season’s star-studded cast is Jon Hamm, who has his sights set on earning his first Best TV Movie/Limited Series Actor Golden Globe nomination this winter. Since he was already honored in the corresponding drama series category for “Mad Men” in 2008 and 2016, his possible new victory would make him the seventh man to clinch Golden Globes for performances on both continuing and non-continuing TV programs.
Hamm, who picked up four additional Golden Globe bids for “Mad Men” between 2009 and 2013, has already begun his splashy 2023 return to prestige TV by playing a new supporting role on the third season of “The Morning Show.

In the past few days, several new shows have been approved and it’s a bit hard to keep up, so here’s a catch up.
A&E has decided to work with Tom Fontana, who previously was the showrunner for Oz and Homicide: Life on the Street. The new show stems from a really intriguing premise. It is tentatively called The Box and will focus its half-hour episodes entirely on a police interrogation. The Box intends to take all the drama that surrounds a typical cop drama and unfold it closer to real time in the interrogation room. As Bob DeBitetto, President and General Manager of A&E Network and Bio Channel “The Box takes the most thrilling scene of a crime procedural and puts it at center stage in a unique format.”
