Dark Winds Season 4 Trailer Drops: Acclaimed AMC Thriller Returns With Bigger Stakes
AMC Networks unveils the official trailer for Dark Winds Season 4, teeing up the acclaimed crime drama’s return on Sunday, February 15, exclusively on AMC and AMC+, with the series still boasting a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score since its 2022 debut.
AMC just dropped the Dark Winds Season 4 trailer, and the show that has quietly kept a spotless Rotten Tomatoes score since 2022 looks ready to change up the scenery in a big way. The case pulls our core trio out of the Navajo Nation and drops them into 1970s Los Angeles, which is about as subtle a tone shift as you can get.
The setup this time
"Season 4 focuses on the search for a missing Navajo girl, which takes Leaphorn, Chee, and Manuelito from the safety of the Navajo Nation to the gritty terrain of 1970s Los Angeles in a race against the clock to save her from an obsessive killer with ties to organized crime."
Short version: a disappearance becomes a ticking-clock hunt, and the villain profile points to a serial killer with mob-adjacent connections. Moving the investigation to LA is a smart swing for a show that has thrived on place and atmosphere.
What the trailer shows
Joe Leaphorn and the Navajo Tribal Police take on the case of a missing teenage girl. The footage cuts between the wide open deserts back home and the grimy sprawl of LA, where the team follows a breadcrumb trail that suggests the girl is now in the crosshairs of a serial killer. It also teases a handful of new faces who clearly matter to this investigation.
