While attending the Season 5 premiere of FX’s Fargothat he is an executive producer, Wednesday Executive producer Steve Stark spoke to Deadline about the decision to move from Romania, where the first season was filmed, to Ireland.
“Romania was a great place for creative photography, but challenging in many ways,” he said.
As Deadline reported, the Balkan country presented logistical challenges, as speculation arose shortly after production ended that the series would likely be filmed elsewhere if a second season were to be filmed.
Stark confirmed that we would “shoot there” at the end of the first season.
“London or Ireland were two options,” he revealed. “The main reason for me was that I did 113 episodes Vikings In Ireland. I love Ireland. We got a lot from the same studio where we shot Vikings In. Vikings was bound to come to an end, so we moved back there.
Stark serves as an executive producer on the film, which is produced by MGM Television Wednesday Fargo And Vikings: Valhalla after serving as president of the studio (now owned by Amazon) for nearly a decade.
The mothership Vikings The series, the first major television project to emerge from MGM’s bankruptcy, was filmed at Morgan O’Sullivan’s then newly built Ashford Studios in Ireland for the six-season series History.

Little is known about the place Wednesday will get creative in season 2. Showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar hinted that we might see more members of the Addams family and further explore Wednesday’s (Jenna Ortega) relationship with her mother, while Ortega, who is a producer for Season 2 will be, indicated that the program would have a heavier emphasis on horror than teenage romance.
Stark was no more friendly, but did tease that there will be “a lot of surprises” in Season 2.
On the red carpet Fargo, Stark also talked about the upcoming fifth season of the FX series, which premieres today.
“I think the show worked for several reasons; It combines comedy and tragedy – Minnesota fun versus really bad stuff,” he said. “We live in a world of power and greed that runs rampant, and the corruption of power and greed that brings people down. It’s kind of a morality play.”
Season 5 is about “this woman caught between two incredible forces: a mother-in-law and a sheriff,” he added. “How is she going to get out of this fight? Their courage, their cleverness, their ability to overcome this impossible situation. There is hope that there is a chance to reduce this corruption, power and greed.”
Does Stark think there will be another season? Fargo beyond what comes? “I do. We’ve covered every decade except the ’60s and ’90s. So maybe the ’60s and ’90s,” he said.
