'Longmire' Season 4 Production Ends As Cast Posts Bittersweet Messages
Tost, who has written several episodes of Longmire and serves as the show's executive story editor, took to Twitter this week to reveal his creative process. With season 4 production now finished, Tost was very candid in what he enjoys incorporating into the show.
TV's like poetry: it relies on TS Eliot's objective correlative: objects/places/motifs that accumulate their own specific emotional density.

For Longmire, I try to pull those objective correlatives into my scripts as often as possible. To build up the show's specific emotions. — Tony Tost (@tonytost) July 6, 2015

Tost is actually a poet himself, having founded the online poetry magazine Fascicle.
Meanwhile, Longmire fans are eagerly anticipating the release of season 4. The show was shockingly cancelled by A&E last August after three seasons with the network. The Western was actually the highest rated scripted show on the network.
Diehard fans were obviously angered by this decision and took to Twitter where they launched an epic Twitter campaign to help it find a new home. In November, Netflix came in and picked the show up for a 10-episode fourth season.
Longmire season 4 is scheduled for release in the fall on Netflix, though the streaming site has not yet announced a specific release date.
