Viewers will get to see the new "Fargo" characters using smartphones in the upcoming season of the award-winning FX series.

Hidden Remote posits that since the storyline of season 3 may take place in 2008 or 2009, it is safe to say that the characters will be using modern technology. This is a direct contrast to the last installment, where viewers saw an entirely different world in 1979. The website also believes that the Great Recession will be incorporated into the plot, as the upper Midwest copes with its economic impact.

When the series premiered its freshman season, the setting was modern day 2006. This leads fans to believe that the showrunners will bring back characters from season 1, given the close timeline. It is possible that those who survived like Deputy Molly Solverson (Allison Tolman) and Officer Gus Grimly (Colin Hanks) will reappear in Fargo.

Some season 2 characters may also make a comeback, only a lot older in the 21^st century. This could include Charlie Gerhardt (Allan Dobrescu), who would be in his 50s, as well as Mike Milligan (Bokeem Woodbine). These, of course, are all speculations, as the executive producers refuse to give spoilers for the upcoming installment.

Showrunner Noah Hawley told Entertainment Weekly that season 3 would be interconnected with the past installments. He refused to expound about it, though, as part of the fun for the viewers would be figuring out that link.

"There are going to be connections, the way the first year was connected to the movie and the second year was connected to the first, but I think part of the fun is figuring that stuff out and I wouldn't want to take that away from anybody. There will be definitely things that connect to something in our story," he said.

"Fargo" season 3 will premiere in spring of 2017 on FX.
