Simply put, fans aren’t ready to leave the Southwest of the 1970s just yet.
Over the years, AMC has turned into a haven for TV fans, putting out some of the best shows on TV right now.
Of course, 2022 hasn’t shown any signs of running out of things to do, and a show like Dark Winds can’t be undervalued for what it could be.
This American psychological thriller was made by Graham Roland and is based on the Leaphorn & Chee book series by Tony Hillerman. It premiered on Sunday, June 12, 2022, on both the channel and its streaming service, AMC+.
Since then, it’s easy to care about the story of Navajo police officers Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee. But it’s already that time. Will Dark Winds have a second season?
IS DARK WINDS RENEWED FOR SEASON 2?
Yes, without a doubt. AMC has already confirmed that Dark Winds will return for a second season.
The news came out before the first season was even over.
As of this writing, the finale, which is called HózhóoNaasháa, has not yet come out. It will do so on Sunday, July 17, 2022.
We can rest easy knowing that the sixth installment won’t be the last one, but the release date for the next season hasn’t been set yet. Even so, it’s great to know that Zahn McClarnon and Kiowa Gordon will be back in their main roles in the near future.
AMC is happy to bring back Dark Winds
Variety wrote about the good news in June, noting that the successful premiere of Dark Winds on AMC got a huge 2.2 million viewers in the Nielsen Live+3 ratings.
With results like those, it’s not surprising that Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks, is optimistic about the show’s bright future:
“With Dark Winds, this once-in-a-lifetime creative team and cast have made something really special. We can’t wait for fans to see the rest of the first season and follow Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee into a second season next year on AMC and AMC+.
McDermott said he was “overwhelmed with gratitude to [the] entire production team, and a special thanks to executive producers Robert Redford, George RR Martin, Chris Eyre, and, of course, Zahn McClarnon, who also leads the cast and brings humanity, authority, and the wisdom of a life well lived to everything he does.”
“SEASON 2 JUST GOT SECURED”
The people at AMC aren’t the only ones happy about a new favorite show getting off to a good start.
Some Dark Winds fans have also taken to Twitter to say how much they love the show and how happy they are that it has already been renewed and that people have faith in it.
