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 His resentment toward Walt’s outdated approach further inspire him to run for sheriff, especially after feeling that he is picking up his boss’s slack.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?
I hope another network picks up the show and steals their audience from A&E. This is a well-written show and quality entertainment, unlike a lot of the trash on tv. Bring Longmire back!!!
It seems that if there isn’t sex or zombies the networks won’t carry shows maybe it is just the morality of the young which keeps being lowered by the networks there isn’t any good shows any more like Heartland made in Canada
Nuts! First they cancel “The Glades” and now “Longmire” I’m just gonna take A&E off my schedule, there is nothing left on there to watch!
Longmire should not be cancelled. This is a excellent drama series with outstanding actors and writers.
Longmire is a highly popular show among many different age groups who are starving for good, Real, Well written TV. Join us on twitter and show your concern over A&E canceling a very popular and unprompted (on their part) TV Show. There is absolutely no reason why another network should not pick up such a popular Show and with a small bit of promotion and advertisements they will make this a strong contender in the ratings. So join us on twitter, copy the actors and the networks, work towards a grassroots promotion of the TV show that is evidently owned… Read more »
The main reason I liked this show was it wasn’t like everything else on TV. I enjoyed the story line and appreciated the exposure to another culture and how two cultures can respect each other. The respect I have for the show’s Native American Indian’s characters of living in this time while honoring their past was refreshing. Now once again, I will be searching for quality TV and not the trash “Reality” shows, or other programs that spotlight the worst of human kind instead of the best in people. How can we become better ourselves when we flaunt the sickness… Read more »
I think they are stupid that wS one f the best on tv what are they thinking&? I think the post above from p Wells says it all
Unfortunately, if you’re not in the age-range of 25-30 the networks don’t think you matter and the programs you like don’t matter. Longmire is one of the most entertaining and “smart” programs out there. I guess they would rather put forth shows like “Honey Boo-Boo” and “Duck Dynasty,” or yet another singing show, no-brainer shows for no-brainer people. It’s no wonder that people from other countries think we are all like the people on these loser reality shows. Very, very disappointing this was not renewed again. We loved it.
I can’t believe they cancelled this series! I thought season 3 was great!!!
Please reconsider!
A&E is apparently losing their minds if they think 3.7 million viewers per week is not enough to grant a fourth season to this awesome show. Especially with the events that unfolded on the last episode.
Please don’t cancel this show!! I loved it and couldn’t wait until each new episode aired.
Please don’t cancel Longmire. Best show on television .Also love the books Please reconsider canceling the show.
September 4,2014 To bad, just get into a good show and you decide to cancel. Please don’t do this bring it back. Longmire is one of the best you have.
Please bring back Longmire. I love this show. Can’t believe this show was cancelled.
Big disappointment to learn of the cancellation of my favorite TV show. I have over 100 channels and we can’t find anything worth watching. May just cancel cable altogether.
