Dark Winds season 3 episode 3 is a thriller TV series that is set in the 70s. It follows two Navajo Tribal Police officers Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee as they investigate several crimes whose complexities extend to secret conspiracies and the characters’ inner battles.

The show, based on the Leaphorn & Chee novels by Tony Hillerman, has been praised for its authenticity in depicting the Native American culture and for its slow-burn storyline. Created by Graham Roland, the series is set in the crime, history, and mysticism realm and presents a different approach to the thriller subgenre.

The list of executive producers includes Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin, and actor Robert Redford, which only adds to the list of the show’s credentials.

Dark Winds made its debut on June 12, 2022, and has since been met with positive reviews, with particular acclaim for the story, the direction, and the actors, especially the lead actor, Zahn McClarnon.

The show has been renewed for more seasons after its premiere, and Dark Winds Season 3 debuted on March 9, 2025. Even before the third season came on air, AMC had already green-lighted the fourth season of the series due to the show’s growing popularity.

Each season is based on different Hillerman novels, and the last one is based on Dance Hall of the Dead and The Sinister Pig. Thus, fans of the books will be able to see their favorite characters and plots realized on the screen.
