Is Dark Winds season 4 happing? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on April 28, 2025, 17:30 IST Last updated April 28, 2025, 11:43 IST
AMC's Dark Winds has captivated audiences with its gripping neo-noir storytelling, rich Navajo cultural backdrop, and stellar performances. Following the success of its third season, fans are eager to know: Is Dark Winds Season 4 happening? In this, we dive into the confirmation status, release date speculation, cast updates, and potential plot details for the upcoming season. Is Dark Winds Season 4 Confirmed?
Yes, Dark Winds Season 4 is officially happening! AMC announced the renewal in February 2025, ahead of the Season 3 premiere on March 9, 2025. Dark Winds Season 4 Release Date Speculation
While AMC has not announced an exact premiere date, the network has confirmed that Dark Winds Season 4 will debut in 2026. Given that Season 4 filming began in March 2025, a release in late 2026—potentially between July and September—is likely, aligning with AMC's typical post-production timeline of 4–6 months. However, an earlier release in mid-2026 is possible if production wraps efficiently. Dark Winds Season 4 Expected Cast
The core cast is expected to return, continuing the stories of the Navajo Tribal Police officers and their allies. Here's who to expect: Zahn McClarnon as Lt. Joe Leaphorn, the seasoned officer haunted by his past. McClarnon will also make his directorial debut in Season 4, helming the first episode.
Kiowa Gordon as Jim Chee, Leaphorn's deputy navigating his own personal and professional challenges.
Jessica Matten as Bernadette Manuelito, now with the Border Patrol but likely to reconnect with Leaphorn and Chee.
Deanna Allison as Emma Leaphorn, Joe's supportive wife. Dark Winds Season 4 Potential Plot
As Season 3 is still unfolding (with its finale airing in April 2025), specific plot details for Season 4 remain scarce. However, based on the show's trajectory and source material, we can speculate on key elements:
New Case for the Tribal Police: Each season of Dark Winds introduces a central mystery, often drawn from Tony Hillerman's Leaphorn & Chee novels. Season 4 is expected to feature a fresh case, potentially inspired by the novel The Dark Wind , which involves a drug-smuggling plane crash, or another book from the 27-volume series (including Anne Hillerman's contributions).
Leaphorn's Inner Struggles: Season 3 sees Joe Leaphorn grappling with guilt over his actions in Season 2, particularly his indirect killing of BJ Vines. This trauma, manifesting as a creature from Navajo folklore, may continue to haunt him, testing his moral and professional resolve.
Chee's Journey: Jim Chee's reluctant return to the Navajo reservation in Season 3 sets the stage for further exploration of his identity and future. He may face decisions about staying or leaving again, especially after his emotional goodbye kiss with Bernadette in Season 2.

Ginny & Georgia's Biggest Season 3 Finale Mystery Has Already Been Solved: ‘There Was a Debate,' EP Says
Ginny & Georgia Let's hope we don't have to wait another 29 months for Ginny & Georgia to return for its fourth season, because the Netflix drama just left us on the mother of all cliffhangers. More from TVLine Virgin River Star Shares Season 7 Update: When Are New Episodes Coming to Netflix? Adolescence Rises to No. 2 on Netflix's All-Time Top 10, Passing Stranger Things 4 - And There It Will Stay The Sandman's Final Season Will Wrap With Death-Centric Bonus Episode Now streaming, the 10-episode third season ends with a jury finding Georgia not guilty of killing Tom, thanks to Ginny convincing Austin to lie on the stand about seeing Gil commit the brutal act. But it's not like Georgia's freedom comes without a price; after enduring one too many of his wife's lies, including Georgia attempting to pass off Ginny's positive pregnancy test as her own, Paul finally asks for a divorce. Georgia has a lot to process by the end of the finale, and nothing helps a girl clear her head quite like downing milk straight from the bottle. Instead of letting her mom chug all that sweet, sweet vitamin D in peace, however, Ginny interjects with a game-changing question: 'Didn't you say you drink milk when you're pregnant?' That's right, folks, Georgia is confirmed to be with child. And to complicate matters even further, we're not sure who the father is! Yes, she was married to Paul, but she and Joe also recently found themselves in bed together, setting the stage for a major paternity reveal in Season 4. So, who is Georgia's third baby daddy? The powers that be aren't ready to reveal that just yet. In fact, showrunner Sarah Glinski tells Entertainment Weekly that the mystery will likely be stretched out for quite some time. According to series creator Sarah Lampert, she and Glinski opened the Season 4 writers' room by telling the staff, 'OK, we know whose baby it is. Change our mind.' What followed was a 'contentious,' full-day debate amongst the writers. 'There was a debate over how the storylines could go based on whose baby it was and all that,' Lampert says. 'But no, we've landed on whose baby it is. I'll say that.' How 25 Real-Life Pregnancies Were Written Into TV Shows View List Since Lampert and Glinski won't spill the beans, that leaves us to do what fans do best — wildly speculate! And in the case of Georgia's pregnancy, there are really two questions we must ask ourselves: who do we think it is, and who do we hope it is? Grade Ginny & Georgia Season 3 in our poll below, then drop a comment with your thoughts about this particular cliffhanger.
