Hear Lisa Hannigan cover Britney’s ‘Toxic’ for the Fargo TV series

Irish singer Lisa Hannigan has returned to sing a cover for the fifth season of the TV series Fargo.

Hannigan originally offered a rendition of ‘Danny Boy’ for the second season of the US TV show in 2015, after it kicked off a successful spinoff series, loosely inspired by the Joel and Ethan Coen film of the same name.

Season five of the show with Noah Hawley (Legion) at the helm, stars John Hamm, Juno Temple, Joe Keery and Jennifer Jason Leigh follows a housewife whose past begins to slowly unravel after she lands in trouble with local authorities.

A trailer is here:

The soundtrack from season 5 appeared on streaming services this week, and Lisa Hannigan’s cover of Britney Spears’ ‘Toxic’ with Fargo music collaborator Jeff Russo was also released.
