Last Sunday night's premiere of the third season of Dark Winds, based on the Tony Hillerman novels, included surprise, high stakes cameos by two of the project's eminent executive producers.
The debut episode featured a scene in which Lt. Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon) is checking a holding cell containing two old-timers playing chess. The cellmates were played by actor and filmmaker Robert Redford and author George R.R. Martin. Leaphorn offers some unwanted (by Redford, at least) advice on Martin's next move.
Dark Winds' season three features all-new episodes weekly on Sundays at 9 p.m. Eastern on AMC and AMC+.
