Deadline is reporting that A&E has put in a 10-episode order to Longmire, a new series that features Smallville’s Cassidy Freeman in its cast.
Here’s how Deadline describes the project:
Based on the Walt Longmire Mystery series of novels by Craig Johnson, Longmire is named after its central character, Walt Longmire (The Matrix’s Robert Taylor), the charismatic, dedicated and unflappable sheriff of Absaroka County, Wyo. Widowed only a year, he is a man in psychic repair but buries his pain behind his brave face, unassuming grin and dry wit.
Look for it in 2012.
