It is clear that if fans are not happy with the thought that Vic and Walt might get together they were not fans of the books either. The mixed reactions that showed up online after that rumor surfaced has split the loyal fans of the show. The last season ended with a home invasion and that is where Longmire Season 5 is expected to be picked up.
Fans have been speculating during the off season who the intruder was, so as the fifth season starts, it will be a likely point of interest for fans. If the show can answer that question in the first episode, fans will know exactly what to expect as the season plays out.
Shortly after production begins next month, Netflix will release a teasing trailer and that is expected to get the fans talking even more. Each of the last few seasons had ten episodes and the fifth is expected to have the same.
