Don'tcha know that the Coen Brothers are bringing their Academy Award-winning film Fargo to the small screen.

The show shares the same name as the 1996 film, but the FX series will feature a slightly different plot while remaining true to its dark (very dark) comedy roots. In the trailer released Tuesday, a nebbish Martin Freeman is susceptible to menacing Billy Bob Thornton's violent tendencies.

The series also stars Alison Tolman, Colin Hanks, Kate Walsh and Bob Odenkirk as members of the small North Dakota town mourning and investigating a recent death. The short trailer gives little away other than the actors' impressive accents.

Take a look and we'll betcha tune in April 15.
