A&E Shares More About "Longmire"

During the Television Critics Association Tour last week, A&E gave more details about its new drama series based on the best-selling series of novels by Huntington native Craig Johnson…

“Longmire” will begin production in March with a premiere date sometime in the summer. The series stars Australian actor Robert Taylor, Katee Sackhoff, Lou Diamond Phillips, Bailey Chase, Cassidy Freeman and Adam Bartley.

Here’s the official description from the network press release:

“Widowed only a year, [Absaroka County, Wyoming Sheriff Walt] Longmire (Taylor) is a man in psychic repair that buries his pain behind a brave face and dry wit. Struggling since his wife’s death and at the urging of his daughter, Cady (Freeman), Longmire knows that the time has come to turn his life around. With the help of Vic (Sackhoff), a female deputy new to the department, he becomes reinvigorated about his job and committed to running for re-election. When Branch (Chase), an ambitious, young deputy decides to run against him for sheriff, Longmire feels betrayed but remains steadfast in his dedication to the community. Longmire often turns to close friend and confidant Henry Standing Bear (Diamond Phillips) for support as he sets out to rebuild both his personal and professional life, one step at a time.”

Johnson has been involved with the series every step of the way and I’m hoping to have much more about the series as we get closer its premiere…
