Dark Winds EP George RR Martin Offers Season 4 Update in New Blog Post
AMC’s Dark Winds EP George R. R. Martin offered some updates on how things are looking with the now-filming fourth season.
Even with more than enough twists and turns remaining in the third season of AMC’s Zahn McClarnon, Kiowa Gordon, and Jessica Matten-starring Dark Winds, it’s never too early to get some intel on how things are going with the already-green-lit fourth season. Earlier today, EP George R. R. Martin (GRRM) offered an update in his latest Not A Blog entry (“Rolling Rolling Rolling”). After praising the third season and how it’s been received by both viewers and critics, GRRM confirmed that the fourth season would also run eight episodes and that filming was already underway “just north of Santa Fe, at Camel Rock Studios.” In addition, McClarnon is directing the opening episode of the upcoming season. “Kiowa, Bernadette, Chris Eyre, Stephen Paul Judd, New Mexico’s amazing landscapes… lots of reasons to watch this one if you haven’t done so already,” GRRM added.
