Saving Longmire (part 1/3) - Why was Longmire Cancelled by A&E ?
Longmire was cancelled by A&E in the summer of 2014 (after 3 successful and critically acclaimed seasons), despite the show being A&E’s most-watched original series. It's believed that A&E’s Executives deemed the show's primary viewership (over 50’s) to be less appealing to advertisers. A bit silly, right!?
Two Great Tweets from the #LongLiveLongmire Campaign:
On Nov 4th 2014, Lou Diamond Phillips tweeted:
"Might be the time of year to 'Fall Back' but not for me or the posse! Full speed ahead with Faith and Optimism! #longmirelives".
On Nov 11th 2014, Lou Diamond Phillips tweeted:
"The thing about trends...they become mainstays with enough dedication. Way to go, Posse! You are inspirational! #NeedLongmire".
According to actor Zahn McClarnon (who portrayed Mathias on the show), “Longmire Was Saved by the Fans!!”
