What is Dark Winds Season 4 based on?
Dark Winds Season 4, which AMC confirmed in February this year, is based on novelist Tony Hillerman's book, The Ghostway. Dark Winds showrunner John Wirth said that Season 4 would deal with “the Navajo experience of ghost sickness”.
“If you are with a person when they breathe their last breath, that breath goes into you, and you become ghost sick, which requires a ceremony to cure you of ghost sickness,” Wirth told TV Insider.
Additionally, Wirth mentioned that Dark Winds S4 will temporarily relocate the Southwest to the West Coast because three episodes are set in 1970s Los Angeles.
While the first installment of Dark Winds was based on Listening Woman, Season 2 took inspiration from People of Darkness from the same Leaphorn & Chee series.
