Not long ago, A&E unveiled their latest dramatic TV series, Longmire. Breakout Kings, another A&E show about lawkeepers, was recently cancelled. Will Longmire outlast it or quickly follow it to the TV graveyard?
Taking place in a fictional Wyoming county, Longmire revolves around Sheriff Walt Longmire as he tries to get back on his feet following the death of his wife. With the help of his daughter (Cassidy Freeman), his new deputy (Katee Sackhoff), and his best friend (Lou Diamond Phillips), Walt decides to run for re-election against a young deputy (Bailey Chase) in the department who also wants the position.
The TV show debuted on June 3rd to a 0.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.15 million total viewers.

That was a very good premiere for the cable channel and was actually the biggest in A&E’s history. Longmire was the third most-watched cable show of the night, only falling behind the NBA playoff game on ESPN and Game of Thrones on HBO.
New TV shows typically fall in their second week on the air but Longmire bucked that trend and actually grew. Last night’s episode drew about the same in total viewership but gained about 22% in the demo.
Unless the numbers hit a serious nosedive, Longmire is assured of a second season renewal. In fact, I’d be surprised if it wasn’t announced soon. It looks like A&E has a hit.
But, what do you think? Do you like Longmire? Will you keep watching? Do you think that it should be renewed or cancelled instead?
My wife and I anxiously await the next season of Longmire. We really like the story line, and would hate to see it canceled at this point of the story.
RENEW IT IT WAS SO GOOD
Please don’t cancel Longmire. It is one of the best shows out there.We can’t get enough of it. We tell everyone one how great it is . I put it right up there with Bue Boods, Hawaii five o, and Sleepy Hallow.
I am really disappointed in the Longmire tv series and in all honesty the series “SUCKS” it is so unbelievably asinine I would not punish myself by watching it past the second show in the first season.
I absolutely loved the Craig Johnson novels and have read every one in the Longmire set but what a damn disgrace A&E did by butchering it all up.
Whoever picked the cast of characters used in this tv boobage should be dick kicked not to mention the ass wipe that wrote the scripts I mean damn what a bunch of backyard ********…
just goes to show you don’t know what talent is. I guess you would think someone that acts like a zombie has talent. It’s interesting where your the only one that thinks this way. I’ve watched reviews since they cancelled and there hasn’t been one negative thing said about it, UNTIL YOU.. I have a feeling you have a bad attitude towards the world. I say this not because you don’t like Longmire but the way you say it. You can criticize in a more mature and nice way. Maybe people would take you more serious. Personally I don’t care… Read more »
please bring longmire back. You certainly know how loyal longmire’s fans are. People still writing in for renewal after all this time.Come on, give us a break. Excellent acting. A&E improve your quality of shows. The reality shows you have are not art. If your going to continue down this road, change the name of your station. YOUR SHAMING THE ART AND ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY..
Love the show. Love the cast of characters. Hope it will have many more seasons.
please tell me why, a excellence series comes on tv some jerk wants to cancell it. one of the best series on tv. this one of the resaon i do not watch A&E anymore. hello, someone out there in tv land need to jump on this series an renew it. thank you
It would be a A&E thing to cancel it at season 3. Breakout kings. was pretty good cancel at season 2. A semi cliffhanger ending where a few more episodes or another season would have ended it perfect. Glades. After 4 seasons with a big cliffhanger ending needing a few more episodes or again another season. Longmire. I have yet to see season 3. But I love it on the first and second. Are the biggest shows I’ve watched and liked. I couldn’t watch them on air after losing satellite for a month or so and missing an episode I… Read more »
