Dark Winds Season Four Premieres Sunday, February 15 on AMC and AMC+! SEASON 5 JUST RENEWED!
It’s back! I was lucky to be invited last year to interview the cast of the amazing show, Dark Winds, before season three, and now I get to prepare you for another amazing experience, season four! I was so excited to sit in on the discussions with the Dark Winds cast and got great photos with them all.
From wiki: Dark Winds is an American psychological thriller television series created by Graham Roland, based on the Leaphorn & Chee novel series by Tony Hillerman. The series follows three Navajo Tribal Police officers, Joe Leaphorn, Bernadette Manuelito, and Jim Chee, in the 1970s Four Corners area of the American Southwest.
This is the 1970’s, so we are watching a time period vastly different from our own, along with even more discrimination and prejudice in society for ethnic groups, in this case the indigenous native Americans. This series also gives one an opportunity to learn about this dark history in our country as to how these folks were treated.
Executive produced by Robert Redford and George R.R. Martin and boasting a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score for its first three seasons, Dark Winds stars Zahn McClarnon (The Son, Westworld, Fargo) as Lt. Joe Leaphorn, with this season marking his eagerly awaited television directorial debut. The series, which also stars Kiowa Gordon (The Red Road, Roswell, New Mexico) as Jim Chee, Jessica Matten (Rez Ball, Tribal, Burden of Truth) as Bernadette Manuelito, and Deanna Allison (Accused, Edge of America) as Emma Leaphorn, follows Leaphorn, Chee and Manuelito of the Navajo Tribal Police solving mysteries on their reservation as it is besieged by increasingly violent crimes in the 1970s.
The gripping fourth season focuses on the search for a missing Navajo girl, which takes Leaphorn, Chee and Manuelito from the safety of Navajo Nation to the gritty terrain of 1970s Los Angeles in a race against the clock to save her from an obsessive killer with ties to organized crime.
Season 4 features a prominent roster of new cast members including Franka Potente (Run Lola Run, The Bourne Supremacy) as Irene Vaggan; Isabel DeRoy-Olson (Fancy Dance) as Billie Tsosie, a decisive and resourceful Navajo teenager who wants nothing more than the freedom to connect with her people outside of her boarding school but quickly finds herself in over her head with only her cunning and resilience keeping her alive; Chaske Spencer (The Twilight Saga, Blindspot) as Sonny, a recruiter for a Los Angeles crime ring who through his charm and menace lure young Native American men recently relocated to the city from their reservations into a life of crime; Luke Barnett (The Crossing Over Express) as FBI Special Agent Toby Shaw who arrives searching for answers to a mystery involving one of his friends; and Titus Welliver (Bosch, Bosch: Legacy, Ricky, Abraham’s Boys) as Dominic McNair, a ruthless crime boss who imports and exports drugs and stolen luxury goods into and out of Los Angeles. Season 4 also sees the return of A. Martinez (Longmire, Days of Our Lives) as Scarborough Police Department Acting Chief Gordo Sena.
Based on the iconic Leaphorn & Chee book series by Tony Hillerman, Dark Winds is created by Graham Roland (Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, The Returned, Almost Human, Fringe). John Wirth (Hell on Wheels, Hap and Leonard) serves as showrunner. The series is executive produced by Redford, Martin, Roland, Wirth, McClarnon, Chris Eyre, Tina Elmo, Jim Chory, Thomas Brady, Max Hurwitz, Vince Gerardis and Anne Hillerman.
Dark Winds will return for its highly-anticipated fourth season, consisting of eight hour-long episodes, on Sunday, February 15 at 9pm ET/PT on AMC and AMC+. Additional episodes of the 8-episode season will premiere weekly on Sundays on AMC and AMC+.

I’m genuinely excited for Dark Winds coming back. This show has such a specific mood: quiet tension, gorgeous landscapes, and characters who feel real, not shiny. I love how it takes its time and still keeps you hooked, like you’re reading a good mystery at night with a lamp on. February 15 is already marked in my head because I know I’ll be telling myself “just one episode,” then suddenly it’s 2 a.m. I’ve been rotating streaming apps lately and even skimmed pluto tv reviews when I wanted something easy to throw on, but Dark Winds is a sit-down-and-pay-attention kind of show. Can’t wait.
