Dark Winds Season 4 release schedule: When do new episodes of the western crime thriller series drop?

After months of waiting, fans can finally stream Dark Winds Season 4 on AMC and AMC+. This time, the story is adapted from The Ghostway, the novel which is part of the acclaimed Leaphorn & Chee book series.

The fourth season still focuses primarily on crime investigations conducted by the Navajo police force, but it also moves broadly outside of the original boundaries of the Navajo Nation and into the violent crime-ridden streets of 1970's Los Angeles.

What was once a much more intimate rural setting has now given way to a much larger city with an intense urban environment. While the focus is mainly on a missing teenager, this story becomes intertwined with organized crime networks, an unyielding assassin, and the individual personal struggles of the main characters.

As for how many episodes, Dark Winds Season 4 has a total of eight episodes, with new ones scheduled to come out every Sunday on AMC and AMC+. The series has been successful since it premiered, and now fans are looking forward to exploring more about these Navajo officers and their personal andprofessional struggles.
