Dark Winds Season 2: Unveiling Episode Count & Release Dates!

Summary

Dark Winds season 2 has been a huge hit and is even more popular than the first series, with an almost 150% rise in viewership.

Season 2 of Dark Winds comprises six episodes, leaving only two remaining until the finale. As of now, there is no confirmation regarding a potential third season.

Dark Winds season 2 can be viewed on AMC+ and is also accessible on Acorn TV, The Roku Channel, and can be purchased on platforms such as Amazon, Google Play, and Apple TV.

Dark Winds season 2 is even more popular than the first series, and the finale is quickly approaching. Based on Tony Hillerman's Leaphorn & Chee novels, the show has surpassed its predecessor, The Dark Wind, a 1991 thriller directed by Errol Morris and produced by Robert Redford, which received negative reviews and had a limited release.

AMC's Dark Winds is a highly successful adaptation, following Navajo police officers Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon) and Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon) as they investigate murder cases in 1970s New Mexico. Season 2 of Dark Winds, titled People of Darkness, features Leaphorn and Chee reuniting to face off against a ruthless killer named Colton Wolf (Nicholas Logan). Both seasons of Dark Winds have received critical acclaim, with both episodes holding a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Season 2 has experienced an impressive viewership increase of nearly 150% compared to the first series, as reported by Variety.

There Are 6 Episodes In Dark Winds Season 2 (With 2 Left)

Just like with the first series, Dark Winds season 2 consists of a total of six episodes. The most recent episode titled "The March" was aired on August 20th, leaving only two episodes remaining in the second season. Although there is currently no confirmation about a potential season 3 of Dark Winds, the increasing word of mouth about the series and rising viewership numbers, which are important to AMC, suggest that it is inevitable for Leaphorn and Chee to return for at least one more intriguing case.
