Why Dark Winds Can Never Fully Adapt The Leaphorn & Chee Books After Season 5 Renewal

Zahn McClarnon stars as Joe Leaphorn in the popular AMC series inspired by Tony Hillerman’s Leaphorn & Chee novels. The current season, season 4, is based on The Ghostway, and while the story partially takes place in Los Angeles, Leaphorn remains a central character even though he isn’t in this specific book. With season 5 already confirmed before season 4 even aired, the show is clearly successful and has the potential to bring many more of Hillerman’s books to life.
