AMC Renews 'Dark Winds' for Season 4

AMC has announced the renewal of the drama series 'Dark Winds' for a fourth season, ahead of the premiere of its third season on March 9, 2025. The series, based on Tony Hillerman's 'Leaphorn & Chee' novels, follows Navajo Tribal Police Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn and his team as they tackle violent crimes on their reservation in the 1970s. Season 4 will consist of eight episodes, similar to the upcoming third season, and will feature Zahn McClarnon making his directorial debut. Filming for the fourth season is set to begin in Santa Fe, New Mexico in March, with a premiere planned for 2026. The show has gained significant popularity, partly due to its availability on Netflix, where it remained in the top ten for over three weeks. The upcoming third season will explore the disappearance of two boys and a human and drug smuggling conspiracy.
