Showmakers believe that there is a lot left to be explored in AMC's psychological thriller series, Dark Winds
Dark Winds season 3 is currently expecting an early 2025 release. Although the finale episode of the show's second season, titled Hózhó náhásdlii, meaning Beauty Is Restored, has left the audience with the right amount of closure, one of the executive producers of the series, Chris Eyre, who has also directed the finale of season 2, believes that there remains an array of intriguing storylines that need to be explored.
In an interview with TVLine, Chris Eyre spoke about content that is yet to be adapted:
"I don’t feel like we’ve hit our stride with this series...There are 18 [Leaphorn & Chee] books by Tony Hillerman and there are five by Anne Hillerman, so there’s enough detective/Navajo police drama."
The series has been gleaned from renowned author Tony Hillerman's highly celebrated book series, titled, Leaphorn & Chee.
Graham Roland has acted as the creator of the show. Apart from Chris Eyre, the long list of executive producers for the series includes creator Roland, George R. R. Martin, Zahn McClarnon, Robert Redford, Tina Elmo, Anne Hillerman, John Wirth, Vince Calandra, and Vince Gerardis.
An official synopsis for the show, given by Rotten Tomatoes, reads as follows:
"Set in 1971 on a remote outpost of the Navajo Nation near Monument Valley, Dark Winds follows Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn 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. Chee, too, has old scores to settle from his youth on the reservation. Together, the two men battle the forces of evil, each other and their own personal demons on the path to salvation."
