Netflix Quietly Adding New Season of Mystery Thriller With Perfect Rotten Tomatoes Score
In less than a month, Netflix will be adding the fourth season of a mystery/thriller series that's delivered a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes in each of its four seasons.
The streaming giant creates over 700 original titles for its more than 200 million monthly users, but also licenses content from other platforms. The latest addition is one fans have been waiting for.
Netflix Adding 'Darks Winds' Season 4
The latest season of mystery/thriller Dark Winds from AMC is coming to Netflix on July 4, according to What's on Netflix, which revealed the engagement numbers from the series on the platform thus far.
"According to Netflix's engagement metrics spanning June 2024 to December 2025, the series pulled in an impressive 37.5 million views (176.6 million viewing hours)," What's on Netflix wrote. "Among the massive batch of AMC titles leased to the streamer, Dark Winds has consistently been one of the most-watched, surpassing heavy-hitters like A Discovery of Witches and Mayfair Witches to sit right behind Breaking Bad in daily average views."
What is 'Dark Winds'?
Dark Winds is a psychological thriller produced by series creator Graham Roland, George R.R. Martin, the late Robert Redford and star of the show, Zahn McClarnon.
"Set in 1971 on a remote outpost of the Navajo Nation near Monument Valley, Dark Winds follows Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn of the Tribal Police as he is besieged by a series of seemingly unrelated crimes," reads the synopsis of the show.
"The closer he digs to the truth, the more he exposes the wounds of his past. He is joined on this journey by his new deputy, Jim Chee. Chee, too, has old scores to settle from his youth on the reservation. Together, the two men battle the forces of evil, each other and their own personal demons on the path to salvation."
Each of the first four seasons have received a perfect 100% rating from the critics on Rotten Tomatoes.
Fans of the show also won't have to wait long for a fifth season, which was officially set back in February before the debut of Season 4. Filming for the fifth season officially got underway back in March in Santa Fe, NM and is scheduled to run through this month.
The fifth season will include eight episodes, like the past two seasons of the show, and will arrive on AMC in 2027.
