Great news for fans of the Netflix series "Longmire," as the streaming service has renewed the show for "Longmire" Season 6. The downside to it is that it will be the show's last.

According to Deadline, fans will finally get to see "Longmire" season 6, which will be the last of the show. The John Coveny and Hunt Baldwin-developed series has had quite a history. It debuted on the A&E network back in 2012 before being canceled when the third season ended. The show debuted on Netflix last year for its fourth season. The fifth season premiered this year.
"Longmire" season 6 will see the return of Robert Taylor and Katee Sackhoff for 10 final episodes of the crime drama. Baldwin, Coveny, and Greer Shephard, who serve as executive producers for the show, have expressed their gratitude to Netflix for "the opportunity to compose a closing chapter for these beloved characters that inspires lasting memories."
Now that "Longmire" season 6 is officially a go, the Seattle Times reports that production is set to shoot in Mexico very soon. Production will head to Mexico in March 2017 to begin filming. Santa Fe Film Office Director Eric Witt reveals that production will head to locations in Santa Fe, Pecos, Los Alamos and Las Vegas to shoot "Longmire" season 6.
