Another cancelled TV show has been resurrected by Netflix. The streaming service has ordered a fourth season of Longmire, the dramatic series that A&E dropped earlier this year. The 10 new episodes will debut sometime next year.
Here’s their press release:
NETFLIX ORDERS FOURTH SEASON OF LONGMIRE
Rousing Western Thriller from Warner Horizon Television to Premiere Exclusively in US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand
Series To Return for 10 New Episodes in 2015
Beverly Hills, Calif., November 19, 2014– Netflix, the world’s leading Internet TV network, has ordered a fourth season of the hit drama Longmire, from Warner Horizon Television. Ten new episodes of the series will premiere exclusively in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand in 2015.
“When Warner Horizon Television came to us with the idea for a new season of Longmire, we were intrigued because the series is so unique, and consistently great. We are thrilled to help continue Walt Longmire’s story for his large and passionate following,” said Cindy Holland, Vice President of Original Content at Netflix.
In a joint statement, the Longmire executive producers said: “We’re excited and honored to have the opportunity to bring this show that we love so much, and all its devoted fans, to Netflix.”
Season four of Longmire picks up moments after season three’s exciting finale. Walt Longmire (series star Robert Taylor), having found out who was behind the murder of his wife, succumbs to his darker impulses and takes off in pursuit of the killer with murder on his mind. Meanwhile, Branch Connally (Bailey Chase), the deputy who Walt fired for erratic, violent behavior, believes he has already figured out who the real culprit is. But during his confrontation with this suspected killer, a gun goes off. Now the audience will finally learn what happened, and whether Walt can be stopped before he makes a fatal choice.
Longmire, the contemporary crime thriller set in Big Sky country, is based on the Walt Longmire mystery novels by best-selling author Craig Johnson. The series stars Australian actor Robert Taylor (The Matrix) as Walt Longmire, the charismatic, dedicated and unflappable sheriff of Absaroka County, Wyoming, along with Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica, Riddick), Lou Diamond Phillips (Southland, La Bamba), Bailey Chase (Damages), Cassidy Freeman (Smallville) and Adam Bartley (Justified).
Longmire is produced by The Shephard/Robin Company in association with Warner Horizon Television. Hunt Baldwin (The Closer, Trust Me), John Coveny (The Closer, Trust Me), Greer Shephard (The Closer, Major Crimes, Nip/Tuck) and Michael M. Robin (The Closer, Major Crimes, Nip/Tuck) serve as executive producers.

What do you think? Are you looking forward to seeing the fourth season of Longmire? Are you already a subscriber? If not, will you subscribe to see the new episodes?
Love Longmire, will need to get Netflix
I am disappointed that A & E cancelled Longmire, but thankfully I m a subscriber of Netflix.
Longmire’s best show on TV! Except for maybe The Walking Dead.
Great series. I think it is well on par with Gun Smoke… What happened to Branch???
Please notify when Longmire will start.—-Great show!
I might get Netflix because of Longmire instead of waiting for Series 4 to come to DVD. Perhaps Netflix will pick up the great series Forever that ABC dropped after just one season. One can always hope……
I don’t get involved with ABC shows any longer…they always drop after 1 season. Same thing with Black Box and Resurrection (think it got 2 seasons).
Don’t understand why you’d want to know in advance that a show will run forever. If it’s good enjoy it. If it’s not then why play it forever.
Scripted TV is dying from the networks renewing most of their flops. I commend any cancellation of shows that don’t have a chance of getting better.
Longmeier was the first TV series which I have enjoyed watching & following. The characters are well cast & developed. I was quite disappointed when I heard A&E was dropping the series. I look forward to Netflix picking up a fine drama with good actors!
Love Longmire! Not a Netflix subscriber, but I will be to see Longmire!
So happy Longmire has been renewed by Netflix. Why was Glades dropped ? Loved that show.
I found this series to be very well done and quite entertaining. When is it coming back on? Do not leave me hanging with no resolution. Continue it like “Gunsmoke.” Once a week for ever!
more…….longmire is fantastic!!!!!!!
I discovered Longmire on HuluPlus… love the show. PLEASE don’t leave us hanging for next season.
Longmire is in my opinion as gripping and authentic as the Aubrey-Maturin series of novels by Patrick O’Brian from wich Master and Commander was based. That doesn’t happen often.
Looking forward nexflix to season four really really enjoyed this series!!
Me and my wife enjoy watching Longmire. Please more episodes , can’t wait to see who got shot. Thanks netflix.
