AMC is staying in the mystery game with Dark Winds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The streaming service renewed Season 4 of the critically acclaimed drama on Monday, weeks ahead of its Season 3 premiere.<\/p>\n

This vote of confidence indicates that the cable network believes the upcoming season will resonate with the show\u2019s audience. <\/p>\n

Even more exciting: Production on Dark Winds Season 4 is set to get underway next month, ahead of a 2026 premiere. <\/p>\n

The news means that AMC is getting back to one season per year for some of its shows. <\/p>\n

For some reason, the TV industry has embraced lengthy hiatuses between seasons.<\/p>\n

Dark Winds Is Going One Season Per Year<\/h2>\n

Sometimes, series are off the air for three years, which isn\u2019t a great way to build buzz.<\/p>\n

Dark Winds has a relatively self-contained storyline each season, so that could work because the show knows how to generate buzz. <\/p>\n

But we\u2019re thankful that this one won\u2019t have such a long wait. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we greenlit the first season of Dark Winds, we saw the potential for an authentic and long-running franchise that could live alongside the worlds we were building around The Walking Dead and Anne Rice,\u201d said Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is exactly what this cast and creative team delivered, and the fans have responded. It starts with Tony Hillerman\u2019s unforgettable novels, cared for and attended to by a producing team that includes the likes of Robert Redford, George R. R. Martin, Chris Eyre and our showrunner John Wirth, and \u2013 at the center of everything \u2013 the truly extraordinary Zahn McClarnon and the entire cast,\u201d the exec continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cFans have embraced this series on AMC\/ AMC+ and made it a top 10 show on Netflix for a solid month last fall. There is so much great storytelling yet to come in these expanded third and fourth seasons.\u201d<\/p>\n

AMC Wants More From the Franchise<\/h2>\n

\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to exploring and inhabiting the character of Joe Leaphorn once again in Season 4, and I\u2019m excited to make my directorial debut on a show that means so much to me,\u201d said executive producer and star Zahn McClarnon.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d like to send my gratitude and appreciation to Kristin Dolan, Dan McDermott, and all of the hard-working folks at AMC Networks for their support and commitment to Dark Winds.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd of course, I\u2019m most thrilled to be spending time with this wonderful cast and crew whom I have grown to love.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKristin Dolan, Dan McDermott, and everyone at AMC Networks have been so supportive of our little show. I know I speak for our superlative writers, extraordinary cast and dedicated crew when I say we are excited and energized by the opportunity to continue exploring and expanding the world of Dark Winds in a fourth season,\u201d added executive producer and showrunner John Wirth. <\/p>\n

McClarnon returns to topline Dark Winds Season 3<\/a>, which premieres Sunday, March 9 at 9 p.m.<\/p>\n

The season begins six months after the events of Dark Winds Season 3 and follows Lt. Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee as they search for answers following the disappearance of two boys.<\/p>\n

All the pair have to go on in their investigation is an abandoned bicycle and a blood-stained patch of ground.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Bernadette\u2019s storyline will continue as she attempts to settle into her new life 500 miles from home.<\/p>\n

However, she \u201cstumbles across a conspiracy involving human and drug smuggling with far-reaching implications.\u201d<\/p>\n

The guest cast for Dark Winds Season 3 includes Jenna Elfman<\/a>, Bruce Greenwood, Max Trujillo, Tonantzin Carmelo, Alex Meraz, Terry Serpico, Derek Hinkey, Phil Burke, Christopher Heyerdahl, and A Martinez.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a stacked cast, and we can\u2019t wait to see what they all bring to the show.<\/p>\n
