There’s life after Orange, and it exists in a fictional town.

With Orange is the New Black having wrapped up its seventh and final season, one of its leading ladies, Uzo Aduba, has a new role on Fargo.

Based on the Coen Brothers’ film of the same name, the upcoming fourth season of the FX series will be set in Kansas City, Missouri, during the 1950s, where an Italian gang and an African-American gang have reached an uneasy peace by trading their two eldest sons.

Chris Rock has already signed on to play the head of the African-American syndicate, while it is not known yet who Aduba will portray.

The pair will be joined by Jack Huston, Jason Schwartzman, Ben Whishaw, Jessie Buckley, Salvatore Esposito, Andrew Bird, Jeremie Harris, Gaetano Bruon, Anji White, Francesco Acquaroli, Emyri Crutchfield, and Amber Midthunder.

Production on season 4 of Fargo is set to begin later this year in Chicago.
