New Mexico Film Office Director Nick Maniatis announced today that production will begin on the one-hour-long drama series Longmire, from Warner Horizon Television, in March 2012. Production will take place in Santa Fe, Las Vegas and the surrounding areas. The series will launch with 10 episodes on A&E this summer.
The production will employ at least 130 New Mexico crewmembers and more than 160 principal and background talent.
Longmire will star Robert Taylor (The Matrix), Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica), Lou Diamond Phillips (Stand and Deliver, Courage Under Fire, Young Guns, La Bamba), Bailey Chase (Saving Grace, Damages), Cassidy Freeman (Smallville) and newcomer Adam Bartley.
Based on the Walt Longmire mystery novels by bestselling author Craig Johnson, Longmire is named after its central character, Walt Longmire (Taylor), the charismatic, dedicated and unflappable sheriff of Absaroka County, Wyo., who is rebuilding his life and career after his wife’s death. Widowed for only one year, he is a man in psychic repair but buries his pain behind his brave face, unassuming grin, and wry wit.
