‘Longmire’ Star’s Surprising Update Confirms It’s Officially Time for a Revival
At the mid-July Longmire Days celebration in Wyoming, series star Robert Taylor shared optimistic news during a fan panel featuring cast members and author Craig Johnson. Taylor revealed that showrunner Greer Shephard recently told him the time is right for the series to return—feedback Taylor characterised as unprecedented in its directness from the production side, though he stressed nothing is yet finalised.
The update provides fresh momentum to longtime revival hopes, as Taylor positioned Shephard as essential to any revival effort moving forward. The development mirrors successful returns of comparable television Westerns, which have continued through films and limited series after their original runs ended, suggesting a viable path for bringing back the six-season neo-Western.
