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’s up is Longmire going to continue or what? Doesn’t anybody recognize a real interesting crime drama anymore?
Terrific show, went back to watch all episodes from the start. Thoughtful writing, intelligent plot lines and terrific acting. Music and visuals are extremely appealing. Please keep it going!
BOO to “A&E” for canceling “Longmire”….but HOORAY to Netflix there for picking it back up!!!! my husband and I both have spent most of this summer here watching back to back episodes there of Season 1, 2 and3 of “Longmire” there…..and then leaving up hanging here with this cliffhanger or who got shot in the 3rd Season Finale between Branch Connelly and his Dad!!!! but we were then later very surprised and also very happy here too to know that even though “A&E” had canceled one of their top rated shows….well at least “Netflix” was willing to take the buck… Read more »
Love that show and was so happy to see Netflix pick it up. Finished season 4 and am hopeful that there will be a season 5. I haven’t met anyone who watched Longmire who did not like it. What is with execs at A&E. Fire them all! If you don’t have Netflix get a free tryout and I think that you will find it is very inexpensive.
I was very disappointed not being able to see my beloved show. I too don’t have Netflix and not intending on having it soon. PLEASE bring it back to A&E. A truly disappointed fan.
Agree 🙁 great acting luv this show miss it no Netflix here
You are missing out. I could not imagine not having Netflix. We watch it frequently and love watching series back to back without commercials.
I am so delighted that Netflix has decided to give Longmire a 4th season. Even though the current channel decided it drew an older audience, Iincluding myself, iI believe we should be the targeted audience. Like Grace and Frankie the same could bee said, but look how popular it is. Please keep Longmire on for as long as you can. I will be watching. Thank you Netflix.
We did subscribe to Netflix just because of Longmire and are anxiously awaiting season 4 !!!!
OMG unbelievable, will there be a season 5? Who kicked in the door?
That’s the reason I subscribed. Hope Netflix gets the idea that so many people love it that they continue.
I think the first 3 episodes of Season became available on Sept. 21…check it out.
YES! I will subscribe to ANYTHING that keeps Longmire episodes coming!
A&E’s greatest loss was taking Longmire off their channel. I’ve quit watching A&E because of this stupid move!
Love the show ‘so glad it will continue
Well heck yes. It is one of the best things out there. I don’t want to the book so please keep them coming.
