It really is quite lovely to see the buzz that is currently surrounding the upcoming third season of the AMC Networks series, Dark Winds. Simply because it means that audiences have discovered its wonder and are thoroughly enjoying the amazing acting the cast puts forth, and the engaging storylines seasons one and two sent our way, and of course… that also means audiences are ready for season three and any tidbit that AMC can offer regarding it. Which AMC is fully aware of and that is why today’s gift from them makes sense.
​
