Dark Winds is based on Tony Hillerman's Leaphorn & Chee series about Navajo Tribal Police officers. Zahn McClarnon and Kiowa Gordon play Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee respectively.

Production begins in Santa Fe, N.M., next month. McClarnon will direct in the fourth season, which will have eight episodes like the third.

Season 3's mystery involves the disappearance of two boys. The only clues are their abandoned bicycles and some blood in the dirt.

AMC released the first five minutes of the new season earlier this month, following a teaser and extended trailer.

Guest stars for Season 3 include Bruce Greenwood, Jenna Elfman, Raoul Max Trujillo, Tonantzin Carmelo, A. Martinez and Jeri Ryan. Returning regulars include Jessica Matten and Deanna Allison.

AMC expects Season 4 to air in 2026.
