- John Patrick Jordan (The Accountant 2) has joined AMC's Dark Winds for Season 5 in a key recurring role as Dale Hicks, an FBI agent newly stationed at the Sheriff's department who becomes territorial after detecting interference in investigations alongside Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon) and Alvarado (Paola Núñez)
- Dark Winds Season 5 production is currently underway in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with plot details under wraps; the series is based on Tony Hillerman's Leaphorn & Chee book series and is set in 1971 on a remote outpost of the Navajo Nation near Monument Valley
- Martin Sensmeier will be a series regular in Season 5, playing Terry Bai, a former Vietnam vet turned racetrack worker, while Noel Fisher recurs as Michael Jorie, a dangerous killer with a warped sense of righteousness, and Devin Sampson-Craig recurs as Daniel Ironwater, Jr., a ranch-hand whose Vietnam experience left him conflicted
- Graham Roland created Dark Winds with John Wirth as showrunner; both executive produce alongside the late Robert Redford, George R.R. Martin, McClarnon, Chris Eyre, Tina Elmo, Jim Chory, Thomas Brady, Max Hurwitz, Vince Gerardis, and Anne Hillerman
- Jordan's upcoming projects include Prime Video's Spider-Noir and I Play Rocky, directed by Peter Farrelly; he is represented by Zero Gravity Management and Mitchell & Associates Talent
Why it matters: Dark Winds has been one of AMC's prestige performers, and stacking the Season 5 cast with recognizable names (Sensmeier as a series regular, Jordan, Fisher, Sampson-Craig in recurring roles) signals the network is doubling down on the Hillerman adaptation as it continues to build out its post-Saul Goodman prestige slate. The FBI agent role gives the show a new institutional pressure point for Leaphorn and Chee heading into the season.
