NEW YORK – Monday, December 22 – Today, AMC and AMC+ debuted a new pulse-pounding teaser and first look images for Season 4 of the critically acclaimed noir thriller Dark Winds starring executive producer Zahn McClarnon (The Son, Westworld, Fargo). Consisting of eight hour-long episodes, the new season will premiere on Sunday, February 15 at 9pm ET/PT and new episodes will air weekly on Sundays.
