The show is based on the iconic Leaphorn & Chee book series by Tony Hillerman, as “Dark Winds” is created by Graham Roland (“Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan,” “The Returned,” “Almost Human,” “Fringe”) and is showrun by John Wirth (“Hell on Wheels,” “Hap & Leonard”). The executive producer team includes the late actor Robert Redford and fantasy author George R.R. Martin (“Game of Thrones”) alongside others such as Roland, Wirth, McClarnon, Chris Eyre, Tina Elmo, Jim Chory, Thomas Brady, Max Hurwitz, Vince Gerardis, and Anne Hillerman.

The series’ gripping fourth season 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. The new season’s second episode, which is set to debut on Sunday, February 22, marks the television directorial debut of the multihyphenate McClarnon.

Season four also features a prominent roster of new additions to the cast including Franka Potente (Run Lola Run,” “The Bourne Supremacy”) as Irene Vaggan; Isabel DeRoy-Olson (“Fancy Dance”) as Billie Tsosie, a decisive and resourceful Navajo teenager who wants nothing more than the freedom to connect with her people outside of her boarding school but quickly finds herself in over her head with only her cunning and resilience keeping her alive; Chaske Spencer (“The Twilight Saga,” “Blindspot”) as Sonny, a recruiter for a Los Angeles crime ring who through his charm and menace lure young Native American men recently relocated to the city from their reservations into a life of crime; Luke Barnett (“The Crossing Over Express”) as FBI Special Agent Toby Shaw who arrives searching for answers to a mystery involving one of his friends; and Titus Welliver (“Bosch,” “Bosch: Legacy,” “Ricky,” “Abraham’s Boys”) as Dominic McNair, a ruthless crime boss who imports and exports drugs and stolen luxury goods into and out of Los Angeles.
