AMC's Dark Winds is renewed for Season 4, ahead of its Season 3 premiere in March 2025.
The psychological thriller series, which debuted in 2022, is based on Tony Hillerman's novel series, Leaphorn and Chee.
The show follows the story of three Navajo Tribal Police officers who solve cases in the 1970s. The show's main characters include Joe Leaphorn, a tribal police officer; Jim Chee, Leaphorn's deputy; and Bernadette Manuelito, a tribal police sergeant.
After an intense Season 2 finale, Dark Winds will return for Season 3 and is now confirmed for Season 4, which will likely be released in 2026.

The fourth chapter will begin filming in March 2025 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and will air in 2026. Since Season 3 is not out yet, there are no confirmed story details or what fans can expect from the season.
