We’ve been saying for a little while now that there will most-likely not be any sort of confirmation on a “Longmire” season 4 immediately, and the fact that we are almost a week past the finale now with no further updates is not a surprise.

If nothing else, know this: The original author behind some of the Walt Longmire stories doesn’t seem too concerned. According to a K2 Radio story from the region, Craig Johnson said “I don’t worry about it” when it comes to whether or not the show could come back for a fourth season. That doesn’t necessarily mean that he is certain the show is coming back, but he is aware that the show is one of the most-watched scripted series ever for A&E. The only sticking point we can imagine is whether or not the numbers in the 18-49 demographic are going to be good enough … and we’re hoping that they are.

The story’s an interesting read also because of the Buffalo Longmire Days festival, which traditionally draws a big crowd to the region. In the story, it is revealed that none of the cast members are paid to actually attend other than travel and accommodation, and they come mostly out of a love and desire to meet the fans.

In the end, we still feel like there will be at least one more season of the show on A&E, if for no other reason than to resolve the cliffhanger that we had at the end of this past finale. Beyond that, it’s all question marks. This is not a network with a reputation of keeping scripted shows around forever, but even if they gave it a chance to formally tie together a story, we’d be happy.

We’ve discussed a lot about “Longmire” this week, from the finale ratings to also what we see coming up next for Branch. You can see it all at the link here, and be sure to also sign up if you want further information on all we cover now via our CarterMatt Newsletter.
