In its first installment Fargo received 18 Emmy nominations, the second highest total of any program on television this year.

"John has the perfect sensibility for the show and for my taste in general," said Hawley. "In launching a company, it's not enough to just find great projects. You've got to get them made and made right. John's experience in both physical production and material development make him an ideal partner."
