Longmire is an American modern Western crime drama television series that premiered on June 3, 2012, on the A&E network. The series was developed by John Coveny and Hunt Baldwin, and is based on the Walt Longmire Mysteries series of mystery novels written by best-selling author Craig Johnson.
The show centers on Walt Longmire, a sheriff in fictional Absaroka County, Wyoming, who returns to full-time work after his wife's death. Assisted by his friends and his daughter, Walt investigates major crimes within his jurisdiction, while campaigning for re-election against one of his own deputies. Following the conclusion of the third season in August 2014, A&E announced it would not renew the series.Warner Horizon Television shopped it to other networks, and on November 19, 2014, Netflix picked up the show, starting with Season 4. In late 2016, Seasons 1 to 5 were available for viewing online via Netflix in North America and via websites that carry Netflix content in some other countries, such as JustWatch.com in the UK. On November 2, 2016, Netflix announced that it had renewed the show for a sixth and final season of ten episodes, to air in 2017.
Sheriff Walt Longmire (Robert Taylor), is the sheriff of Wyoming's fictional Absaroka County (pronounced ab-sə-ROH-kah [ab-sə-RAH-kə by many Wyoming natives] and named after the Native American Absaroke people. On a map and in many scenes, Absaroka county seat Durant is similar in many respects to Buffalo in Johnson County in northeast Wyoming).
