Longmire is an American neo-Western crime drama television series that premiered on June 3, 2012, on the A&E network, developed by John Coveny and Hunt Baldwin.[1] The series is based on the Walt Longmire Mysteries series of novels by Craig Johnson.[2] It centers on Walt Longmire, a sheriff in Wyoming. He is assisted by staff, friends, and his daughter in investigating major crimes within his jurisdiction.

Longmire became the "highest-rated original drama series" on A&E;[3] however, the network announced in August 2014 that it would not renew the series after the third season.[4] Warner Horizon Television offered it to other networks[5] and Netflix picked it up, starting with season four.[6] Netflix released the sixth and final season on November 17, 2017.[7][8][9] All episodes are available for streaming via Netflix in the United States.[10][11]
