Ever since AMC announced Dark Winds season 3, there have been constant developments in the production of the series, which has kept audiences excited. The most recent update reveals that filming for the long-awaited third installment of the hit series is nearly complete and is scheduled to be released sometime in 2025.

The confirmation came from an Instagram post by AMC Network on July 10, 2024, featuring Kim Gordon. The post was captioned:

"#DarkWinds is almost done filming Season 3 in beautiful New Mexico! What are you hoping to see from this season...?"

When is Dark Winds season 3 scheduled for release?

During the time of the announcement of Dark Winds season 3 on September 19, 2023, AMC had set a target date for its premiere in the first half of 2025. Filming for the show began on April 10, 2024, and had almost concluded by July 2024.

That being said, according to the official New Mexico Film Office website, the show is still in production. However, despite that, the idea of meeting the target release date for the show's third season does not seem too unrealistic.
