Congrats Longmire, long may you live on A&E. Assuming the network doesn’t piss about with your schedule.
Will Glades be renewed for another season?
@Chris
Sure, other shows were renewed with less.
I watched them both.
Awesome show.
Enjoyed both shows all season. Looking forward to next year.
With the great ratings, will A&E order more than 10 episodes for season 2? They seem to have gone cheap with their scripted shows this year cutting Breakout Kings and The Glades to 10 episode seasons.

I think the pacing of Longmire would be better with 13 episodes personally.
Longmire was surprisingly good. Robert Taylor just killed it as the lead. And loved Katee Sackhoff’s screaming moment in the high school cafeteria scene.
the glades are our fravor wish it could be at least 13 esp both lorimire andglades are great sunday night shows our entire family love them both our grandsons 19 and 25 just love jim passmore cant wait till next season
i watch THE GLADES and LONGMIRE, i wish the season was longer cable shows are better than abc,cbs and nbc
I love this show. Read everyone of Craig Johnson books and wish the series was longer..can’t wait until next year. DAMN GOOD CAST and GREAT WRITING..I love it!!
Glad to see Longmire is coming back. It’s a great series!
A very good show….the writers could use some assistance from Craig Johnson (the author of the books the series is based on) to bring in more depth to the character relationships and the amusing uniqueness of people; however, that said, Robert Taylor is a “homerun” pick for Walt Longmire and brings a depth of character to that role that I have not seen on TV for years…..
Love this show!! Makes me want to move out west. I’m going to start reading the books now that the season is over.
i am 65 years old and my husband and i both loved the Longmire shows. We’re looking forward to another great season!
Longmire is excellent. Hard to believe he’s an Aussie. Reminds me of westerns and the only thing missing is Walt riding up on a horse with a 6 gun on his hip. Too bad we have to wait until next summer for the next episodes.
we were all set to finally see Longmire and not only did it not record, it is no longer listed on Direct TV. What gives???
Love Longmire…..live in Montana. Glad to see modern day cowboys and Indians where they are played as equals. Can’t wait to see how things play out about Walts wife’s death. Who don it……ummmm?
I canceled my premium movie channels because there were some great shows on every evening. Longmire and The Glades, among others. Bring them all back asap.
