Now that the highly rated FX series Fargo has wrapped up its first season, there is new speculation that the second season will have even bigger twists as villains Malvo (played by Billy Bob Thornton) and Lester (Martin Freeman) both died during the season finale. According to series creator Noah Hawley though, anything can happen with both Malvo and Lester gone and with Molly (Alison Tolman) and Gus (Colin Hanks) being replaced by a brand new cast in the upcoming season.

Hawley says that while he's received a lot of criticism for making the show "too dark" he didn't want to disappoint fans too much by making the season finale end in the same fashion as well. But does that mean that something terrible is in store for Molly and Gus in season 2?

"There was a point after episode 6 when there was a lot of feedback on how dark the show had become and the fear that it would end darkly. That was never my intent," Hawley tells The Hollywood Reporter. "There is this running theme in the Coen Brothers movie that the past will catch up with you if you live long enough."

Hawley also explains how he came up with Lester's fate and that he wanted to move away from the movie version of Fargo as much as possible for the season finale.

He explains, "I think there is a sense from Fargo, the movie, that justice was done in the end. If I'd been working all this time, and then people didn't have the same feeling of watching my show as watching the movie, I would be remiss."

As far as what's next for Season 2, Hawley says that anything can happen, of course.

"I basically just wrapped post-production on the finale, so I'm going to try to get a couple weeks off here and try to turn my brain to what's next," he explains. "I love telling stories in this tone of voice and making a Coen Brothers movie, you get a lot of leeway you wouldn't get otherwise."
