... A&E to renew Longmire. A&E has not confirmed the renewal, but Longmire the network's most-watched show has supposedly been renewed, and it's only a matter of time until the A&E makes it official. Following strong Season 2 finale, word is out that the network liked what it saw and wants the drama to come back for more.
The drama stars Robert Taylor as Sheriff Walt Longmire, a Montana lawman who returns to work after the death of his wife. Katee Sackhoff, Bailey Chase, and Lou Diamond Phillips also star in the series. Longmire is a good procedural show about a redneck sheriff in a small town, who rather than use technology to solve his cases, uses his wits and old school and sometimes cowboy tricks to solve cases.
... A&E Cancels The Glades. A&E canceled the series after four seasons, less than a week after the Season 4 finale notched a season-high audience with 3.4 million viewers. Cruel! The Glades was an initial success for the network and was the first A&E scripted series to get a second season.
Created by Clifton Campbell, The Glades was about a detective from The Windy City who took a job with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement looking for a paid vacation in the sun. But little did he know that people get murdered in Florida, too. Matt Passmore and Kieli Sanchez starred in the drama.
... Joshua Jackson has signed on to co-star in Showtime's new drama pilot The Affair as Cole, a hard-edged cowboy (!!!).

In the project, Jackson's wife Allison, played by Luther's Ruth Wilson, has an affair with Dominic West's Noah, whose family is vacationing on Long Island. Maura Tierney plays Helen, Noah's long-time wife and the mother of his children.
