Apparently the writer wanted to emphasize that there are a lot of intelligent people in Hollywood and that Longmire won't remain network-less for long. Even though the series hasn't been picked up yet, there is still time and plenty of reason to keep on hoping.
There's actually a lot of smart folks in Hollywood. & not everyone's gonna pass over gold when they find it in front of them. #LongmireLives — Tony Tost (@tonytost) November 4, 2014
If Longmire does manage to find a new network, it will likely return for a fourth season during the second half of 2015.
