Creator Noah Hawley returns as showrunner, with Sydney Chandler (Don’t Worry Darling) returning to lead another absolutely stacked ensemble.

Joining the cast for Season 2 are Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones, The Toxic Avenger), Tracey Ullman (Robin Hood: Men in Tights), Sam Spruell (Fargo), and Jerome Flynn (Game of Thrones, John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum).

Spruell’s casting reunites him with Hawley following their work together on Fargo, while Flynn reunites with his Game of Thrones co-star Dinklage. Ullman is a particularly fascinating casting considering her extensive comedic background.

The massive returning cast includes:

• Sydney Chandler (Don’t Worry Darling)
• Alex Lawther (The End of the F**ing World*)
• Timothy Olyphant (Scream 2, The Crazies)
• Essie Davis (The Babadook)
• Babou Ceesay (Wolfe)
• Samuel Blenkin (Black Mirror)
