THE FANS

The fans have been passionate and relentless in cheering on their favorite program, which was cancelled by A&E in spite of being the network's highest-rated scripted series and second highest rated series total behind Duck Dynasty. Nonetheless, viewers kept the movement going by sharing words of encouragement, enthusiasm, and general fondness.

THE CAST

Not only has the Longmire cast remained dedicated to the show's fans, they've also kept morale up on Twitter as they awaited word of season 4. With inspirational words, actors like Lou Diamond Phillips (Henry), A. Martinez (Jacob), and Cassidy Freeman (Cady) reminded followers about what makes the show so great.

THE CREW

Even as directors or writers moved on to other projects during the interim, they still remained loyal to the cause, believing even that this series could change the relationship between networks and audiences forever.

With the writers currently working on the new episodes, production is scheduled to begin in March.

Longmire will likely return for a fourth season on Netflix during the later half of 2015.
