Stranger Things' Joe Keery will be in the new season of Fargo

Not only Eleven, Mike and Will: in Stranger Things there are many characters who have come to conquer the hearts of the public. Among them there is certainly also that of Steve Harrington, the teenager played by Joe Keery: started as the bully and insensitive boyfriend of Nancy, Steve has had a very positive evolution over the various seasons, forming a friendship. "Paternal" with Dustin and placing himself as a decidedly heroic and protective figure in the midst of the whole group. And while over the course of season four virtually everyone cheered on his character not to end up among those sacrificed on the altar of Vecna, Keery himself has won his popularity grow exponentially.

It's news of the last few hours. , in fact, that the young actor will be the protagonist of the fifth season of Fargo, the anthological series curated by Noah Hawley and based on the cult film of the Coen brothers.
