AMC‘s popular neo-Western noir thriller “Dark Winds” has been off the air for well over a year. Fortunately, the series, which is based on author Tony Hillerman’s “Leaphorn & Chee” novels, is finally set to return from its extended hiatus this week. “Dark Winds” Season 3 will be the show’s longest to date, consisting of eight episodes this time rather than six, and it promises to take the series into darker and more surreal places than ever before.
