'Longmire' Cancelled Until Series is Bought
"Longmire" is a crime drama television series which first premiered on Jun. 3, 2012 on the A&E channel. The series is based on the "Walt Longmire Mysteries" mystery novels written by best-selling author Craig Johnson. After the premiere of its third season which ran from June 2 through Aug. 4 of 2014, the show was cancelled.
While the show is certainly not going to get a fourth season soon, Warner Horizon Television – the ones producing the series – is shopping it to other networks. Afterwards, the series might get a fourth season but until then, the show is cancelled.
Of course, its fan base is passionate enough to be demanding a fourth season and while there are interested parties who are more than willing to see a fourth season happen, one person doesn't seem to be surprised about the possibility of a fourth season not happening.
Katee Sackhoff, who plays as Victoria "Vic" Moretti in the series, expressed her opinions in a recent interview.
"I'm not surprised. My fiance is a producer, he's a movie producer, not a TV producer, but as an actor living with someone like that you're a fly on the wall and get to learn things," she said. "Key demographics in this business are gold, and that key demo is 18 to 25-year olds. Shows are won and lost and bought and sold and movies succeed or fail based on that key demo."
Apparently, she mentions that advertisers love the key demo since the key demo to them is who spends the money. A demo that skews to the older demographic is where the money is at. A younger skew is not as desirable.
"So I'm not shocked at all. It's the business and it sucks," she added.
