Dark Winds season 4 comes to AMC next month — watch the trailer now

AMC has announced season 4 of Dark Winds returns Sunday, February 15. Executive Produced by Robert Redford and George RR Martin, the series holds the rare distinction of a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score for each of its first three seasons.

What is Dark Winds about, and what can we expect from season 4

Described as a noir thriller, the series stars Zahn McClarnon (The Son, Westworld, Fargo) as Lt. Joe Leaphorn, with this season marking his eagerly awaited television directorial debut. The series – also starring 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

Based on the 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.

Season 4 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 organised crime. New episodes will air weekly on Sundays. The show is renowned for its strong (and well integrated) supernatural elements.

In the UK we can watch season 1 via Netflix, with season 2 rumoured coming soon. It is also available via Sky (but may be moving if it’s now appearing on Netflix).
