"Longmire" is based on the Walt Longmire mystery novels by best-selling author Craig Johnson. For the first 4-5 it was not just successful, but the most watched original program on A&E. However, the demographic make-up of the audience wasn't what the network wanted, so they canceled it.

The show is great. And after two seasons on Netflix, a third an final one has been shot and begins airing for binge on November 17.
