A cliffhanger launches a new investigation continuing immediately in Season 5.

Overview

  • Following Sunday’s Season 4 finale, the series ends on a shock twist that resets the stakes without revealing who was lost.
  • AMC has renewed the drama for a fifth season now in production in Santa Fe, with a 2027 debut planned on AMC and AMC+.
  • The showrunner says the next chapter begins right where the finale stops with no time jump, and he signaled room for flashbacks tied to the twist.
  • Zahn McClarnon returns as lead and will direct Episode 2, while new regulars Martin Sensmeier and Paola Núñez join, with Noel Fisher and Devin Sampson Craig set for recurring roles.
  • The crime drama, set on the Navajo Nation in the 1970s and adapted from Tony Hillerman’s novels, has drawn praise for centering Navajo culture, and earlier seasons stream on AMC+ with prior installments also on Netflix.
