New images have been revealed for Dark Winds season 3. Dark Winds is a procedural drama series that originally premiered on AMC in 2022 and has so far aired for two seasons, both of which have received decent reviews. Season 3 was confirmed in September 2023, and is finally slated for release this year. It will have a longer episode count than the first two seasons with 8 episodes, versus the initial six. Dark Winds features a leading cast including Zahn McClarnon, Kiowa Gordon, Jessica Matten, Elva Guerra, and Deanna Allison.
As per TV Insider, first look images have been revealed for Dark Winds season 3. The images focus on Jenna Elfman and Bruce Greenwood, two of the show’s new actors. Elfman’s character, an FBI agent, is seen wearing a suit and badge in most of her photos, some of which feature her alongside major existing characters from the show. In one image, she stands with Leaphorn in the nighttime. Greenwood’s character sports a cowboy hat in his first photo, and is wearing jeans in other shots. Check out the images below:
What This Means For Dark Winds Season 3
These Dark Winds Characters Have Intriguing Descriptions
In addition to the newly revealed images, new details were revealed about Elfman and Greenwood’s characters. Elfman will play FBI Special Agent Sylvia Washington, who Dark Winds showrunner John Wirth says has “been sent to the reservation to ‘close up some old cases.’ This dead-end assignment suits her as she at first comes across as harmlessly inept.” Gradually, however, Washington will show herself to be a more competent investigator as she puts “Leaphorn directly in the crosshairs.” Some of this intensity is palpable from these first images.

Dark Winds Season 2 Ending Explained: Did Joe Leaphorn Kill [SPOILER]?
Dark Winds season 2 finally answered the mystery of who was behind the bombing as Joe Leaphorn’s revenge plans clashed with the law’s response.
Greenwood will play Tom Spenser. Wirth describes Tom as “a New Mexico oil baron whose wells are running dry and has come up with a creative way to continue financing his empire.” This description implies a level of shadiness to Mr. Spenser, who gives a dubious look in one of the new images from season 3. It will be interesting to see more of Tom’s interactions with Bernadette, who is seen with him in one shot. In addition to Elfman and Greenwood, Dark Winds season 3’s new cast members include Raoul Max Trujillo, Tonantzin Carmelo, Alex Meraz, and Terry Serpico.
Our Take On These Dark Winds Images
Dark Winds Season 3 Seems Intense
The Dark Winds season 3 images don’t reveal many plot specifics for the upcoming season, but they do reflect some of the central tensions to come. Tom Spenser’s role is perhaps more obscure than Washington’s, who is seen in more direct conflict with Leaphorn. Either way, we can perhaps assume that both characters will pose significant threats, and they will occupy very difference spaces. When Dark Winds season 3 launches on Sunday, March 9, at 9pm EST, more details of these new faces will be revealed.
