The first ‘Dark Winds’ season 4 teaser takes Leaphorn and Chee to Los Angeles—and one flashy moment in the first teaser has fans buzzing before the series returns in 2026. Set in the typically gloomy light of Dark Winds, the Season 4 teaser opens not in the familiar harsh Navajo Nation, but amid the neon lights and pounding traffic of 1970s Los Angeles—a setting completely foreign to Leaphorn and Chee, but one that doubles the tension that’s at the heart of the series. Leaphorn steps out of the rental car warily, while Chee looks around as if trying to read a language that doesn’t belong to her; Sources say the duo will be facing a series of cases “bigger and more dangerous than anything they’ve ever seen.” But what really got audiences’ breaths going was a moment that lasted less than two seconds at the end of the teaser — Leaphorn turns quickly when he hears an unfamiliar sound, and his fleeting expression is described as “a mixture of recognition… and fear of what he’s just realized.” Fans were immediately abuzz because the detail could signal the return of a key character who seemed to have disappeared completely after the events of Season 3’s finale. That mysterious moment — which is said to be the key to setting up season 4’s biggest conflict
