Since "Breaking Bad" ended in 2013, Plemons has continued to work consistently in both film and television, enjoying a great degree of success. His next notable project was Season 2 of "Fargo," which he starred in alongside Kirsten Dunst (who is now his real-life spouse). The season follows Plemons' and Dunst's characters, Ed and Peggy Blumquist, as they cover up a hit-and-run. Plemons' performance earned him a Primetime Emmy nomination, as well as a Critics Choice win (via IMDb).
After "Fargo," Plemons appeared in a slew of films, such as 2016's "Other People," 2017's "The Post," and 2018's "Game Night." Also in 2017, Plemons starred in a "Black Mirror" episode, Season 4's "USS Callister." Then, 2019 proved to be a major year for Plemons, as he played a supporting role in Martin Scorsese's "The Irishman" and also reprised his role as Todd for the "Breaking Bad" follow-up film, "El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie." Next, in 2020, Plemons gained attention for his starring role in Charlie Kaufman's film, "I'm Thinking of Ending Things."
Plemons then attracted even more attention for 2021's "The Power of the Dog," directed by Jane Campion, which saw him reunited on screen with Dunst. His performance as George Burbank earned Plemons his first Oscar nomination for best supporting actor. Since his Oscar nod, Plemons has appeared in two more films: 2021's "Antlers" and 2022's "Windfall."
On the horizon, Plemons will appear in Scorsese's "Killers of the Flower Moon" and Yorgos Lanthimos' "AND," as well as the HBO miniseries "Love and Death" (via IMDb).
