"Longmire" may get a second chance to live. Netflix is interested to revive the crime drama series that was canceled by A&E last August and has been "deep in negotiations" for a fourth season of the show, so Deadline reports.

Sources, however, note that the negotiations between Netflix and "Longmire" producer Warner Horizon "have been tricky." If the deal is sealed, production for the new season of the show may begin in March.

Once being A&E's most-watched original drama series of all time, "Longmire" got the ax after experiencing a steep downfall in the third season's ratings. It didn't help that the show attracted mostly older-skewing demo since ad-supported networks depend heavily on advertisers, who are after younger audiences.

Editors' Pick

The show's cancellation left fans in shock, with some having launched a campaign to save the western drama series.
