TV show description:
Set in Big Sky country, this thriller TV show is based on the Walt Longmire Mystery novels by best-selling author Craig Johnson.
Walt Longmire (Robert Taylor) is the charismatic, dedicated and unflappable sheriff of Absaroka County, Wyoming. Recently widowed, Longmire is a man who buries his pain behind a brave face and dry wit. He’s known for his manners, strength, and old-fashioned approach. His dedication to the law and his passion for the great West make him a desirable lawman.
Victoria ‘Vic’ Moretti (Katee Sackhoff) is the newest addition to the sheriff’s office. Leaving the homicide division in Philadelphia after five years, Vic is still adjusting to dealing with the locals in her new town. Her playful relationship with Longmire holds a deeper connection that allows her to be his most trusted deputy. Vic is out to prove she isn’t a rookie and to show she is capable and loyal.
Henry Standing Bear (Lou Diamond Phillips) is Walt’s lifelong best friend and a local bar owner. Henry is a handsome and charming Cheyenne who is fiercely protective of his tribe and serves as Walt’s go-between with the reservation. Being a business owner, he is comfortable with progress and modernity while maintaining a connection with his past, unlike his close friend.
Deputy Branch Connally (Bailey Chase) is a go-getter with blind confidence. He has political aspirations that often motivate him more than solving cases. His resentment toward Walt’s outdated approach further inspire him to run for sheriff, especially after feeling that he is picking up his boss’s slack. He wants to bring Absaroka County into the 21st century, and he longs to update the sheriff’s station with the technology that other law enforcement agencies use.
Another deputy, The Ferg (Adam Bartley), is a big guy with the heart of a puppy dog. He is loyal, sweet, well-meaning and eager to please. A gifted fly-fisherman who knows how to hunt and fix things, The Ferg has a long way to go as an investigator. Even though he may not be a perfect fit for the job, he is no coward.
Cady Longmire (Cassidy Freeman) is Walt’s only child and an attorney with dreams of the big city. After the death of her mother, Cady has taken it upon herself to help her father get his life back together. She is keenly aware of his imperfections and is the only one not afraid to point them out. Her straight talk and sense of humor connect this father-daughter duo even though they both tend to drive the other crazy.

What do you think? Are you a fan of the Longmire TV series? Do you think it should have ended or been renewed for a seventh season on Netflix?
Rare character driven venue with a continuing conflicted character story arc. Renew!
Great show. Looking forward to it being renewed.
Look forward to Longmire continuing. Nice to be able to enjoy a show with just good stories, good casting.
Modern Day Gunsmoke! Being a retired city cop this series has me binging for more. A family sheriff’s office- so unheard of but I know they are out there. Great plots, twists and turns, and cliff hangers. Sackhoff is the sexiest cop on TV that works in jeans!!! Taylor is the modern day Marshal Matt Dillon. Perfect cast for this series. Begging for a season 7………
I recently found the Longmire show and have been catching up. I just watched the last episode and can’t wait for next season. Don’t cancel please. I agree with others in that it reminds me of Gunsmoke.
This is the first show that I have been addicted too since Gunsmoke. The wife and I have been watching episode after episode every night, we don’t even watch our regular nightly shows any longer. There are so many garbage shows on the air today that should have been cancelled long ago, why would anyone even consider cancelling this great show?
Please continue the show. It reminds me of the old Gunsmoke series, but with needed modern twist and Gunsmoke ran for 20 years! I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Really like this show. Please reconsider keeping it going.
We love the show and wish it will keep going and not be canceled.
I LOVE the show! Please don’t leave us hanging.
Please, please don’t end the series – truly one of the best shows on tv! Great group of actors. Love the diversity and stories. Looking forward to season 6.
Marion & Tom we liked it very much. When is season 6 coming.
Please renew – it’s a terrific show!
My wife and I discovered this awesome show. We love it! I am bummed to hear it is being cancelled. Please don’t! We are avid fans of the show and love it!
Renewed, best show ever. We love it!!!
