The photo caption which reads, "so close yet seems so far away", showed Sackhoff and Taylor in character during a police operation. The hashtag used for the photo was #Longmire@netflixSeptember23rdcantcomesoonenough. Sackhoff hopes that the photo will somehow ease the wait for "Longmire" fans.

Although according to some "Longmire" Season 5 spoilers, Walt and Vic's relationship will finally take a romantic turn, some speculate that one, or even both of them will die in the new season. At this point, no one really knows the fate of the couple, as Netflix has been successful in shrouding the details of the hit crime TV series in mystery

Walt and Henry at odds

Should Longmire die in Season 5, rumors say that Lou Diamond Phillips will take the lead role in the succeeding seasons—if ever the series goes beyond the fifth season, that is. He plays Henry Standing Bear, an Indian native who happens to be Walt's best friend. Phillips has received good reviews for his portrayal and his character is one of the most loved on the show.

According to Phillips, his character's personal advocacy of bringing justice to his people will put him at odds with Longmire. The conflict between the two will be Henry's central issue for the season.

In an interview, Phillips said that the new season will uncover what happens to Henry after Matthias carted him off to jail by last season. Viewers will find out if he cut a deal with his captor. Henry will continue playing the sort of vigilante who will bring justice for his people in the reservation. This, however, will put him in conflict with Walt Longmire.

It will be interesting to see the extent the clash will bring to these two friends. Fans of the series hope that their friendship will rise above the issue, without them compromising their morals at the same time.

Renewal news

"Longmire" used to be aired on A&E, but was cancelled by the network after three seasons. Netflix proved to be its savior when the streaming giant picked up the series for Season 4, and then renewed it for Season 5. There is no news yet about the show's fate next season, but some say most likely, it is going to be renewed.

Hopefully, all the rumors and speculations plaguing "Longmire" Season 5 will be put to rest once it is shown on Netflix come September 23.
