After a violent run-in with series baddie Lorne Malvo (Billy Bob Thornton), Pepper and Budge become obsessed with finding him again. Their search ultimately brings them to Bemidji, Minn., and into the larger circle of the show.

“Fargo,” which features new characters and a new story from the film, also stars Martin Freeman, Colin Hanks and Allison Tolman.
