Consisting of eight hour-long episodes, Season 4 focuses on the search for a missing Navajo girl, which takes Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon), Chee (Kiowa Gordon) and Manuelito (Jessica Matten) from the safety of 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. New episodes will air weekly on Sundays.

Executive produced by Robert Redford and George R.R. Martin and boasting a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score for its first three seasons, Dark Winds stars McClarnon (The Son, Westworld, Fargo) as Lt.

The series - also starring Gordon (The Red Road, Roswell, New Mexico) as Jim Chee, Matten (Rez Ball, Tribal, Burden of Truth) as Bernadette Manuelito, and Deanna Allison (Accused, Edge of America) as Emma Leaphorn - follows Leaphorn, Chee and Manuelito of the Navajo Tribal Police solving mysteries on their reservation as it is besieged by increasingly violent crimes in the 1970s.
