Dark Winds Season 4 is quickly approaching, and while Season 3 may have aired less than a year ago, it’s always good to get a refresher on where the story left off.
As we await the latest chapter of AMC’s ’70s-set noir, we’re breaking down everything you need to remember about Season 3, particularly surrounding Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon), his wife Emma (Deanna Allison), Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon), and Bernadette Manuelito (Jessica Matten). Scroll down for a deep dive into how Season 3 ended, and let us know what you hope to see when the critically acclaimed drama returns.
