Dark Winds: Here's Our Season 3 E01 "Ye'iitsoh (Big Monster)" Preview

Check out our preview guide for tonight's return of AMC and showrunner John Wirth's Zahn McClarnon, Kiowa Gordon, Jessica Matten, and Deanna Allison-starring Dark Winds, S03E01: "Ye'iitsoh (Big Monster)."

Welcome to the start of our weekly preview of the third season of AMC and showrunner John Wirth's Zahn McClarnon, Kiowa Gordon, Jessica Matten, and Deanna Allison-starring Dark Winds. Set six months after the second season finale, Season 3 sees Leaphorn (McClarnon) and Jim Chee (Gordon) investigating the disappearance of two boys – with only an abandoned bicycle and a blood-stained patch of ground left in their wake. Meanwhile, Manuelito (Matten) attempts to settle into her new life 500 miles from home with the Border Patrol but comes across a conspiracy involving human and drug smuggling with far-reaching implications. And as we've seen in the previews leading up to tonight, Leaphorn is going to find himself haunted on a number of levels by his actions in the Season 2 finale. With that in mind, here's a look at the official overview for S03E01: "Ye'iitsoh (Big Monster)," along with the image gallery for the season opener, a look at the opening minutes of the episode, and a featurette with the cast and creative team teasing what's to come.
