Actor Timothy Olyphant is set to join the new season of Fargo. He will star in the recurring role of Dick "Deafy" Wickware.

This season is lead by Chris Rock, and is set in Kansas City, Missouri where two criminal syndicates have struck an uneasy peace — one Italian, one African-American. Together they control an alternate economy , that of exploitation, graft, and drugs. 

Ben Whishaw, Uzo Aduba, Francesco Acquaroli, Gaetano Bruno, Salvatore Esposito, E'myri Crutchfield, Jeremie Harris, and Anji White, are also part of the cast. The fourth season of the show, created by Noah Hawley, is slated for release next year. 

Warren Littlefield, and Joel and Ethan Coen, who directed the 1996 Oscar-winning film, Fargo, which inspired this series, serve as executive producers with Hawley.
