Based on the Leaphorn & Chee novel series by Tony Hillerman, it stars Zahn McClarnon and Kiowa Gordon as the aforementioned two characters, leading a mostly Native American cast. The series premiered on AMC and AMC+ on June 12, 2022. It has received very positive reviews, with particular praise for McClarnon's performance. Executive producers include Roland, McClarnon, George R. R. Martin, and Robert Redford. The series is Redford's third time adapting Hillerman's novels, after the films The Dark Wind (1991) and Skinwalkers (2002); it is also his final work, both behind the scenes and as an actor, as a cameo in a 2025 episode is his last on-screen role.
