To cement their peace, the heads of both families have traded their eldest sons. The 53-year-old actor will play the head of an African-American family who surrenders his oldest boy to his enemy to keep an uneasy peace and rears his enemy’s son instead. “I’m a fan of Fargo and I can’t wait to work with Noah,” said Rock. Series creator Noah Hawley will once again serve as the showrunner, writer and director for the new season. Season four will narrate a story of immigration and assimilation, depicted the lengths which people go to for money. Rock was last seen alongside Adam Sandler for Netflix’s  The Week Of . He also wrote, directed and starred in two other films — I Think I Love My Wife and Head of State. Production on Fargo season four will begin in 2019.
