Speculations about the Dark Winds Season 2


Based on how season 1 ended, season 2 of Dark Winds will probably have Chee return to the police force to finish the case that isn’t over yet.

There will also be a lot more evil stories. Since Dark Winds is based on Anthony Grove Hillerman’s book series Leaphorn & Chee, which has 18 books, the writers of Dark Winds season 2 will have much to work with.

Hillerman’s Listening Woman and People of Darkness were the basis for Season 1 of the show. Graham Roland, who created the show, told Variety that the team has already decided which book they will be adapting this time. But he still needs to give clues about which title or titles.

Martin said in a blog post that the primary goal of season 2 is to finish the story of “People of Darkness.” However, there could be another book in play. Keep an eye on this page; we’ll let you know about any new information as soon as we hear it.
