Telemystery: A&E Officially Renews Longmire for a 3rd Season

Executive producer John Coveny tweeted the news in August, but it wasn't made official until today: A&E has renewed Longmire for a third season.

"Longmire has become one of the most compelling dramas on television with a devoted audience and we are so proud of the show," said David McKillop, General Manager and Executive Vice President of A&E. "We are thrilled to continue our wonderful partnership with Warner Horizon Television, the production team, and the talented cast and crew led by the exceptional Robert Taylor."

Longmire, a contemporary crime thriller set in Big Sky country, is based on the Walt Longmire mystery novels by Craig Johnson. The series stars Robert Taylor as Walt Longmire, the charismatic, dedicated and unflappable sheriff of Absaroka County, Wyoming, along with Katee Sackhoff, Lou Diamond Phillips, Bailey Chase, Cassidy Freeman, and Adam Bartley.
