Noah Emmerich boards AMC series Dark Winds

The Americans-fame alum Noah Emmerich has joined the cast of AMC's series adaptation of Dark Winds. Based on the Leaphorn & Chee book series by Tony Hillerman, the six-episode show comes from Graham Roland, famous author George RR Martin and veteran Robert Redford.

Emmerich will feature alongside actors Zahn McClarnon and Kiowa Gordon in the Western noir thriller series. Created and executive produced by Roland, Dark Winds follows two Navajo police officers, Leaphorn (McClarnon) and Chee (Gordon), in the 1970s Southwest as their search for clues in a double-murder case.

Emmerich will essay the role of Whitover, a burned-out FBI agent whose once-glorious career is dying out. The first season of the show will premiere on AMC+ and AMC in 2022. Vince Calandra will be showrunner and executive producer with Chris Eyre set to direct the pilot episode.

Emmerich was most recently seen in two limited series, Nat Geo's The Hot Zone and Netflix's The Spy. The actor also had recurring roles on Space Force and Billions.
