The AMC Crime Thriller DARK WINDS Has Been Renewed for Season 2
The newly premiered AMC crime thriller Dark Winds has been renewed for a second season. The period noir crime thriller debuted on AMC on June 12. The first season will consist of six episodes total, as will the second season. The show is based on the Leaphorn & Chee book series by Tony Hillerman.
“Set in 1971 on a remote outpost of the Navajo Nation near Monument Valley, the series follows Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon) of the Tribal Police as he is besieged by a series of seemingly unrelated crimes. The closer he digs to the truth, the more he exposes the wounds of his past. He is joined on this journey by his new deputy, Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon). Chee, too, has old scores to settle from his youth on the reservation.”
The cast also includes Jessica Matten, Deanna Allison, Rainn Wilson, Elva Guerra, Jeremiah Bitsui, Eugene Brave Rock, and Noah Emmerich.
Graham Roland created the series and serves as executive producer alongside McClarnon, Robert Redford, George R.R. Martin, Annie Hillerman, Chris Eyre, Vince Calandra, Vince Gerardis, and Tina Elmo.
I have the first episode of Dark Winds on my DVR ready to go, and now I’m even more excited to watch it knowing it’s going to have a second season. Have you watched it yet? What do you think so far?
