With its gripping storytelling and rich historical backdrop, Dark Winds Season 3 has drawn viewers deep into the mysteries of Jim Chee and Joe Leaphorn’s latest case. But beyond the suspense, fans are also asking — when exactly does this new season take place? Let’s break down the timeline and uncover the clues hidden within the show’s details.
Here is everything you need to know about the year and period of the thriller drama series.
When do Dark Winds Seasons 1, 2, and 3 take place?
Dark Winds Season 2 is expected to be set in 1972.
As fans know, the first season of the series takes place in 1971, depicting significant and tragic events in American and Navajo history. The 1970s timeline highlights the brutalities and challenges faced by Native American residents. Emma’s story sheds light on how white American doctors conducted forced sterilizations on Navajo women. Additionally, the series portrays the dangers Navajo people faced while mining uranium and working on oil rigs. The characters also discuss the ongoing Vietnam War and the live broadcast of moon landings.
In the year 1971, we saw the first season take place during summer, and the second one was set against a winter backdrop, both within the same year. It’s not explicitly clear where Season 3 is set time-wise, but given hints, it seems likely that the action will take place in the year 1972.
According to the show’s network, AMC, Dark Winds Season 3 begins six months after the events of Season 2. This means Season 3 takes place approximately a year after the events of Season 1. Additionally, several hints suggest that Season 3 is set in 1972. In Episode 1, Bernadette hears a television broadcast mentioning “Hanoi Jane,” a reference to Jane Fonda’s controversial trip to Hanoi. Since Fonda earned this nickname in July 1972, this detail strongly indicates that Dark Winds Season 3 is set in that time period.
