TV's love letter to rural Minnesota isn't over yet, don't cha know?

FX announced Monday that it is renewing its critically acclaimed series for a third season.

Joel and Ethan Coen are on board to continue as executive producers. More importantly, creator Noah Hawley will be returning.

The series' first season was a critical smash and the second season, currently mid-way through its run, has got to be a strong contender to pick up more Emmy hardware.

"Year two of 'Fargo' is an extraordinary achievement and, given Noah Hawley's masterful storytelling, we can't wait to see where the third, all-new season of 'Fargo' takes us," said FX co-president Eric Schrier.

No word yet on what the premise might be or if any of this season's characters will be returning.

New episodes of "Fargo" currently air at 8 p.m. Mondays on FX.
