The fifth season of the American Western crime drama TV series “Longmire” will be airing in September this year on Netflix and the rumors have been non-stop about the show, indicating its popularity.
But the most persistent among the rumors online are those claiming that Walt Longmire, played by Robert Taylor, will finally have a romantic relationship with his deputy Vic Moretti, played by Katee Sackhoff.
However, there are also rumors saying that it would be absurd to see Longmire and Moretti hooking up because of their age difference. Some are saying that they actually looked more like a father and daughter team than a romantic pair, notes Game & Guide.
The rumors about Walt and Vic finally happening in the fifth season of the TV series also appear to be off-course from the Season 4 finale which saw Walt having that romantic interlude with Dr. Donna Sue Monaghan, played by Ally Walker, before it was cut short by a burglar.
Some fans and critics also believe that the romance between Walt and Vic will never come into reality as Walt is obliged to support the son of Donna.
An update on Twitter
Since the start of filming for “Longmire” Season 5, actress Katee Sackhoff has been sharing updates about the production to her fans and followers via her Twitter account.
Just recently, Sackhoff shared on Twitter that the title of the ninth episode of “Longmire” Season 5 is going to be “Continual Soiree” written by the prolific Tony Tost.
Meanwhile, some fans and critics believe that “Longmire” Season 5 might possibly give way for the airing of “Narcos” Season 2 on the same streaming service because the latter shall apparently be airing this coming September.
Although it is possible that both could be released in the same month, but the two TV series would not be competing with each other since they shall be airing on different days.
Making life difficult for Walt
Meanwhile, a new character will be making life difficult for Walt Longmire in the upcoming Season 5 of “Longmire” and it is no other than veteran actor Dylan Walsh, reports Cartermatt.
It has been confirmed that Dylan Walsh will get back to the saddle in the Netflix drama expected to air in the second half of this year. The “Nip/Tuck” alum recently starred on “Unforgettable” and his entry in “Longmire” is actually a reunion of sorts with executive producer Greer Shephard, who was the showrunner of “Nip/Tuck” too.
Dylan Walsh shall take on the recurring role of Shane Muldoon, a character who is described as a boss of a criminal enterprise, but who cannot be mistaken for such because of his curated demeanor as well as calm and assertive intelligence. Muldoon is also Eddie Hefferman’s criminal boss.
Walsh was a perfect choice for the character who is reported to exude charming manners that ultimately give him an ominous edge.
The actor has just finished his six-season role on the FX plastic surgery drama TV series “Nip/Tuck” where he played the role of Dr. Season McNamara.
He subsequently had roles on other popular TV series including “Castle” and “NCIS: New Orleans,” before recently starring on “Unforgettable.”
Just like “Longmire,” “Unforgettable” moved distributors midway through its run. The latter moved from CBS to A&E for Season 4 while “Longmire moved from A&E to Netflix for Season 4. But A&E pulled the plug on “Unforgettable” in February.
Apart from “Longmire,” Walsh shall also be appearing on ABC’s upcoming mini TV series “When We Rise.”
While there has been no official statement or announcement from Netflix regarding the casting and possible plotlines for the upcoming Season 5 of “Longmire,” several of the cast members have been posting photos of the set through their social media accounts.
