Based on the “Walt Longmire” mystery novels by Craig Johnson, Longmire has been a very successful TV series for A&E in the ratings. Will that trend continue? Will the show be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season? Stay tuned!
Longmire follows the life of a Wyoming county sheriff who’s returned to work following his wife’s demise. With the support of his family and co-workers, he solves cases and works to stay in office. The cast includes Robert Taylor, Katee Sackhoff, Bailey Chase, Adam Bartley, Cassidy Freeman, and Lou Diamond Phillips.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

What do you think? Do you like the Longmire TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or be renewed for a fourth season?
Pity, one of the best TV series to come out in a very long time. Location, script and actors all top notch. Interesting storyline that holds your attention and gives insight into current issues. Wow, an intelligent show…….a real loss.
I love Longmire, please bring the series back.
You take off one of the best shows you have to put up a stupid show about a Mob bosses family, which is really of no interest to anybody, and then you put that Godfather thing on and now we have a show as stupid as Duck Dynasty, Bucksomething or other. You do not attract very many people with those kind of shows, because just about every channel has some sort of ridiculous reality show. I feel sorry for the idiots who done this, because they are taking A&E straight to the sewer. I guess they all went to college… Read more »
It is shame to cancel this show! We watched it all the time. It is the ONLY A&E show we watched. Nothing else on this channel worh watching! I notice that the ratings only count for those in the 18 to 49 age group. I guess those of us older than 49 don’t have any money to spend as far as the advertisers are comcerned. Or maybe we are not gullible enough to fall for their propaganda.
I believe that A & E has totally lost its focus as to what this channel was to be about…(Art and Entertainment) … they have the most unentertaining shows going … cancelling Longmire such a great show in drama and entertainment with talented actors … for shows that want you to reach for a Pepto-Bismol…. The best thing A & E has on it now are reruns of “Criminal Minds” … and I guess you are right anyone over 49 doesn’t count on A & E’s radar … I am still keeping my hopes high and fingers crossed that somewhere… Read more »
I personally love Longmire and I am disappointed that its been cancelled. Sure it doesn’t have sex or a lot of car chase scenes or extreme violence but it is a quality show with quality acting. Surely you can find enough sponsors to keep the show on the air. Doug white
Well what more can I say that hasn’t already been said. If the public wants vampires,
people killing people etc. so be it. I think some entity will have the common sense to grab Longmire for a couple more seasons.
There are other people watching — why don’t they poll age group 50-65 and I’ll bet they get good numbers. It’s not fair — they drag you in for 3 seasons and then boom — they cancel. Hope another channel picks it up.
CBS?! Of course! Now we know why!
I like Longmire I wouldn’t trade one episode of Longmire for any amount of zombie or other make believe stuff I see on every night I like shows with a little bit truth and believability
I agree! Those zombie movies can go hang, for all I care! Definite turnoff! I like Longmire. Seems like whenever a decent series comes on, some stupid “top-dog” is bought, and it is “canceled”.
Why is it that when a decent tv show is on, the powers that be can’t see it. But, let the Twilight series come on, and they are salivating!. Now we learn the female star, of Twilight, is “Anti-American” to say the least! Is that really the image that A&E wants to put forth? Let’s hope another channel will gladly take Longmire up! The “seasons” were indescribably short! Time to boycott anything advertised on A & E? Could be!

I have already boycotted A & E. They have shown me what they are made of.
MUD. No more A & E on my T.V. or in my home. We all should boycott them.

Longmire is an excellent show. Some of the best camera/scene work I believe that I have seen. Good story lines. An excellent American drama. Bring it back, please!
I will be watching it.
CBS save this show. Longmire best show ever
Love the show. Will be angry if it does not return. Please, I hope that someone finds a way to keep this show on the air!
I think A & E should think for one minute about what they are doing. The best show on T V is Longmire so why don’t you give it a good time slot on a good night and then look at it. I am so so feed up with the networks getting us to watch a show then pull the damn thing. In my line of work you need to think think and then think about what your doing as a whole before you decide !!!!
Have a nice day but leave Longmire…….
Ps. I hope you read this please
Take your storage lockers full of phony ducks and strange tats and keep them. Longmire will find a new home.
Longmire is a great program. I’m with you about the ducks and storage so called programs witch none of the people I know even watch. Now A&E thinks imaginary people with money blowing crap up , sounds familiar. To talk about age groups . People of or age we do watch your ads but don’t if I’m not watching A&E
As if that wasn’t a big mistake taking that show off, now they’ve renewed that stupid Duck Dynasty and putting on another one about an idiot bunch of guys, pretty much like this one. They have lost their ever lovin’ minds, and thinks we are the idiots. Surprise, it’s in the offices who put these stupid shows on.
Of course T&E?, Trash & Entertainment? (fka A&E) is trying to back pedal for cancelling Longmire. Insulting their audience: apathetic to our wishes, and intelligence by giving such insulting viewing options. I’ve read they have had a flood of complaints. They even had to hire new operators to the take a flood of calls. Another website indicated this could be their worst PR problem. Ahhhh (*sniff, sniff*) I hope they fall flat on their greedy behinds. See what fka A&E say below: “The issue with Longmire is more about the ownership than the age of the audience.” A&E declared. The… Read more »
