There is no doubt that "Fargo" captured the hearts of its viewers considering the success of the TV series. Now, Noah Hawley, the creator of the remarkable Fargo, is ready to shake the world of the TV viewers once again with his forthcoming "Cat's Cradle" TV series.

Shmoop states that "Cat's Cradle" is the fourth book written by Kurt Vonnegut. Among his works, it is the most successful one. It seems like the readers really enjoyed reading it. Among his readers is Graham Greene, a successful British novelist, who claimed that "Cat's Cradle" was definitely one of the top three books in 1963, the year when it was first released.

It is a funny story that talks about a man named John, whose surname is not that important. While people can easily remember the book as a story with a good balance of comedy and apocalyptic woe, its main theme is actually satire.

It revolves around the matter of scientific and technological progress. This topic was actually a big hit during that time when atomic bomb is almost everywhere, The Verge says.

Aside from Vonnegut's great writing skills and the book's great story flow, the topic it discussed in a satirical manner itself made it popular and controversial at the same time.

If the people enjoyed the book, will they also enjoy a TV adaptation of the story? Will the adaptation be as popular and controversial as the book? Well, it might be considering that Hawley, who made Fargo a big hit, will be working on the said project.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Fargo maker and FX are joining forces to make a successful adaptation of Vonnegut's work.

FX will produce the series. On the other hand, Hawley will be the one who will write the script for the project and he will also exec produce.

It will be the third time that Hawley and FX will be working side by side. Their first work is "Fargo", which is currently in its season 2 now. The second work will be "Legion," the most awaited "X-Men" TV series. Hawley will also write the script and exec produce the superhero-themed series.

In the year 2014, FX Productions signed the "Fargo" maker, along with his 26 Keys, to a two-year overall contract.

Sandi Love of Elkin Entertainment and Brad Yonover will also be co-exec producing the TV adaptation of "Cat's Cradle."
