With this news, the shock and frustration, which set in among fans of the show will wear off quickly.

This new season will pick up right where season three left off: with Walt in pursuit of who he believes is his wife’s murderer. They give us the cultural road map of Walt Longmire’s world, and make it clear that just because there is a major case on his mind, he cannot stop working on just about everything else. “I was skiing in Australia, so it was cold”.

Going into the show’s run on Netflix, one of the things we were curious to see is if the show was going to keep mostly to the spirit that it had on A&E.

“Longmire” was cancelled by A&E after airing its season 3 finale due to the show reportedly having older viewers in a network that focuses on advertising to younger audiences.

Fans of the show, frustrated by the long dry spell between seasons, can get their popcorn and their Visine at the ready. Netflix has no such concerns.

Unlike cable television, Netflix subscribers can watch one episode after another instead of having to wait another week or two to watch the next episode.

Phillips is pleased the series makers were able to expand on supporting players like the one he’s playing. “We’re very, very true to those characters”.

We did not make any huge progress with Branch in this episode either, other than maybe learning a little more about how his body was placed at the river and the scene was stage. But they have expanded the universe to include the supporting cast, to let us know about their lives that are not ever really investigated in the novels. Cast and crew of the drama agree that’s a flawless way to describe what happened when Netflix came along to save “Longmire” from the TV trash pile. Gerald McRaney and Ally Walker guest star.
