EXCLUSIVE: Chaske Spencer (The Twilight Saga, Echo) has joined the recurring cast of AMC‘s hit Dark Winds for Season 4.
Production on Season 4, which will consist of eight hour-long episodes, will kick off this month in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with a premiere set for 2026.
Spencer will portray Sonny, a recruiter for a Los Angeles crime ring. Charismatic and lethal, he uses his charm and menace to lure young Native American men recently relocated to the city from their reservations into a life of crime.
Set in 1971 on a remote outpost of the Navajo Nation near Monument Valley, Dark Winds follows Lt. Joe Leaphorn of the Tribal Police (Zahn McClarnon) as he is besieged by a series of seemingly unrelated crimes. The closer he digs into the truth, the more he exposes the wounds of his past. He is joined on this journey by his new deputy, Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon). Chee also has old scores to settle from his youth on the reservation. Together, the two men battle the forces of evil, each other and their own personal demons on the path to salvation.

Season 3 picks up six months after the events of Season 2 and follows Lt. Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee as they investigate the disappearance of two boys, with only an abandoned bicycle and blood-stained patch of ground left in their wake.
