For the past two weeks, Warner Bros. TV’s cable division has been putting together a detailed presentation highlighting the series’ performance and following as well as the producers’ creative plans for Season 4. The series will be pitched to digital and cable outlets in the coming days. I hear Netflix and Amazon are expected to hear the pitch, with Amazon expressing early interest. Netflix is the most logical destination for the series as the streaming service already has the rights to the series’ existing seasons as part of its multi-series streaming deal with Warner Bros.
I heard there were no plans for Hulu to hear the pitch. Hulu also had been considered a strong possibility as its new head of content, Craig Erwich, developed and sold Longmire while running Warner Horizon. That could change, with Yahoo, which recently rescued cancelled NBC comedy Community, also a remote possibility though it is not subscription-based and relies on advertisers.
TNT, which would’ve been a logical choice as it is a sister network to Warner Horizon, is said to not be interested.

Come on Longmire, we know you can do it!. I totally believe this will be picked up :)
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed. And I love this is a thing now
ReplyDeletePlease , TNT, think again. I don't want this wonderful show on a streaming network. I signed up on Netflix to get The Killing and paid the money , only to find to I could not get the show through my Mac. Even went to Netflix support and they could not help me so I was out the fee. Plus no The Killing. And I love Longmire.
ReplyDeleteOh i see how it is TNT. First when NBC cancelled Southland i was pissed but when you picked up the series i was happy. Now you saying you ain't interested in picking up Longmire?? You need to pick it up so it can replace the ending Falling Skies and possibly cancelled Murder in the First.
ReplyDeleteAfter that amazing season 3, Longmire deserves a great season 4!!
ReplyDeleteOh hell yeah,this made my day!
ReplyDeleteGo to Netflix. Go to Netflix. Pick it up Netflix. Save my show Netflix.
