Longmire Team Talks Netflix to Resurrect The Drama Series

Hunt Baldwin, executive producer and TV Program creator of Longmire, said that they had a lot of story left for TV program Longmire. The drama series Longmire, is based on the Walt Longmire mystery novels by best-selling author Craig Johnson, and the contemporary crime drama stars Australian actor Robert Taylor in the title role, the charismatic and dedicated sheriff of Absaroka County, Wyoming.

On Tuesday, at Netflix's Television Critics Association press tour panel for Longmire, said that it didn't take long for the subject of second chances of Longmire to come up. The series was canceled by A&E nearly a year ago despite with strong viewership.

Executive producer Hunt Baldwin, which was nominated in Edgar Award for Best Television Episode Teleplay, stated, "We had a lot of story left to tell and every intention of telling that. We were surprised," Hunt Baldwin also said, "Needless to say we are thrilled that we got to move to Netflix and finish telling that story."

The Longmire drama series star, Robert Taylor has been the most shocked by the news. Robert Taylor said that he thought the news for Longmire was a joke, but Taylor believed that they weren't finished doing the drama series.

When the executive producer Greer Shephard was talking about how the Longmire show came to Netflix, Shephard became emotional and even teared up. However, Greer Shephard gave much of the credit to WBTVG president and chief content officer Peter Roth.

The appeal of Longmire's resurrection was soon granted, and with a given result for the fourth season - as the producers said it feels more "cinematic."

Executive producer John Coveny said that, "They said, 'Go make the same show you're making. Just don't make it like television,' "John Coveny also said, "And we took that to heart because that's what we've been trying to do since we pitched it to A&E. It's great to finally be making the show we always wanted to make."

And Hunt Baldwin added, "We're not changing our approach to storytelling very much, but I think the end result feels very different. ... The story feels more completed and more complex."
