Dang, that’s quite a party!
New Mysteries for Joe, Jim, Emma and Bernadette
Fans of the show have come to appreciate the chemistry between stars Zahn McClarnon (Longmire, Westworld), Kiowa Gordon (The Red Road, Roswell, New Mexico) and Jessica Matten (Tribal, Frontier) and AMC seems to get that. Season 3 picks up six months after the events of Season 2 and follows Joe Leaphorn (McClarnon) and Jim Chee (Gordon) as they investigate the disappearance of two boys, with only an abandoned bicycle and a blood-stained patch of ground left in their wake.

As for Bernadette Manuelito (Matten) who took a new job with the Border Patrol at the end of Season 2, it seems she’ll be stumbling across a conspiracy involving human and drug smuggling with far-reaching implications. It was also announced that Joe’s wife, Emma Leaphorn played by Deanna Allison who is a badass in her own right, will return for the season.
New Season Drops in 2025
Based on the series of detective novels by Tony Hillerman, Dark Winds was created for TV by Graham Roland. The series is executive produced by Roland, Wirth, McClarnon, Robert Redford, George R.R. Martin, Chris Eyre, Tina Elmo, Jim Chory, Vince Gerardis and Anne Hillerman. The showrunner for Dark Winds is John Wirth.
Dark Winds has found a solid following and is one of several series in recent years that have featured Native stories, including Reservation Dogs and Rutherford Falls. Unfortunately for fans of the show, we’re going to have to wait until 2025 to get back into the mystery. Until then Seasons 1 and 2 are available to stream on AMC’s streaming app.
