Dunst will portray Peggy Blomquist, "a small town beautician with big city dreams who is trying to figure out who she really is and what she really wants as she struggles with traditional societal expectations."

Peggy lives with her husband Ed, played by Plemons. Ed is "a butcher’s assistant, who wants to be supportive of his wife’s self-discovery, even if he doesn’t quite understand it."

The newest season of Fargo will be ten episodes set in 1979 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Luverne, Minnesota and will follow Season 1's Lou Solverson as a young man and a brand new "true crime case" that still needs to be solved.

It's set to air in the fall of 2015.
