Telemystery: Netflix Orders 4th Season of Longmire

Netflix has announced that it has ordered a 4th season of the crime drama Longmire, adapted from the series of mysteries by Craig Johnson. The series was canceled by A&E earlier this year.

"When Warner Horizon Television came to us with the idea for a new season of Longmire, we were intrigued because the series is so unique, and consistently great. We are thrilled to help continue Walt Longmire’'s story for his large and passionate following," said Cindy Holland, Vice President of Original Content at Netflix.

According to the press release, the fourth season picks up moments after season three’'s exciting finale. Walt Longmire (Robert Taylor), having found out who was behind the murder of his wife, succumbs to his darker impulses and takes off in pursuit of the killer with murder on his mind. Meanwhile, Branch Connally (Bailey Chase), the deputy who Walt fired for erratic, violent behavior, believes he has already figured out who the real culprit is. But during his confrontation with this suspected killer, a gun goes off. Now the audience will finally learn what happened, and whether Walt can be stopped before he makes a fatal choice.

Ten new episodes of the series will premiere exclusively in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand in 2015.
