Fargo Leaving HBO Max at the End of March

Head over to HBO Max by March 31 to stream Fargo, the Coen Brothers’ sixth feature together, which will leave the service at the end of March.

Part dark comedy, part crime flick, the movie centers around a police chief (Frances McDormand) who is knee-deep in the investigation of a missing woman whom she believes to have been set up for a kidnapping by her husband (William H. Macy). Fargo followed earlier Coen hits such as Raising Arizona and Miller’s Crossing and remains an essential piece of the siblings’ filmography.

The brothers went their separate ways after 2018’s The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. Joel Coen adapted The Tragedy of Macbeth in 2021, while Ethan Coen made the 2022 archival documentary Jerry Lee Lewis: Trouble in Mind and, with Tricia Cooke, began a trilogy of so-called lesbian B-movies that started with Drive-Away Dolls (2024) and continued with Honey Don’t!, projects that largely missed their audience despite casts including Margaret Qualley, Aubrey Plaza and Chris Evans.
