AMC Networks has dropped a new teaser trailer for Season 3 of its noir drama Dark Winds.

“When I was a boy, when I went to school, we were taught that the monsters walked the earth,” says Zahn McClarnon’s Joe at the beginning of the trailer. “When you kill a man he’s bound to you. I’ve accepted it, and I am prepared to go on living with it, everyday” he tells Chee (Kiowa Gordon).

Set to premiere on March 9 with an expanded eight-episode season, Dark Winds Season 3 picks up six months after the events of Season 2. It follows Joe Leaphorn (McClarnon) and Jim Chee (Gordon) as they investigate the disappearance of two boys, with only an abandoned bicycle and blood-stained patch of ground left in their wake.

Meanwhile, Bernadette Manuelito (Jessica Matten) attempts to settle into her new life 500 miles from home with the Border Patrol, but stumbles across a conspiracy involving human and drug smuggling with far-reaching implications.

Guest stars this season include Jenna Elfman as FBI Special Agent Sylvia Washington, Bruce Greenwood as Tom Spenser, Raoul Max Trujillo as Budge, Tonantzin Carmelo as Border Patrol Agent Eleanda Garza, Alex Meraz as Border Patrol Agent Ivan Muños, Terry Serpico as Border Patrol Senior Chief Ed Henry, Derek Hinkey as Shorty Bowlegs, Phil Burke as Michael Halsey, and Christopher Heyerdahl as Dr Reynolds. This season also sees the return of guest star A. Martinez as Scarborough Police Department Acting Chief Gordo Sena.

Based on the series by Tony Hillerman, Dark Winds is created by Graham Roland. John Wirth serves as showrunner. The series is executive produced by Roland, Wirth, McClarnon, Robert Redford, George R.R. Martin, Chris Eyre, Tina Elmo, Jim Chory, Vince Gerardis and Anne Hillerman.
