Production on the new hour-long A&E original scripted drama series “Longmire” is scheduled to begin in March in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
A&E has ordered 10 episodes of the contemporary crime thriller from Warner Horizon Television and the show will premiere this summer, according to a news release.
Australian actor Robert Taylor (“The Matrix”) stars as Walt Longmire in the series, which is based on the Walt Longmire Mystery novels by best-selling author Craig Johnson.
Longmire, widowed only a year, is sheriff of Absaroka County, Wyoming.
Longmire is struggling after his wife’s death, and with the encouragement of his daughter Cady (Cassidy Freeman, “Smallville”), decides to turn his life around.
