A&E officially gives Longmire a third season
A&E has finally officially renewed its modern-cowboy mystery series Longmire for a third season, after prolonged negotiations with the show’s production company, Warner Horizon. The show posted strong ratings for its second season finale in late August, after which executive producer John Coveny tweeted, “SEASON 3 for #Longmire is a GO!” His excitement may have been wasted on the hardcore fan base of the popular, yet “older-skewing” show, as it’s likely few of them get their entertainment news from Twitter. Meanwhile, A&E itself remained silent on the matter until this morning, when the announcement was made that it had committed to another 10 episodes.
