Netflix announced a number of 2015 premiere dates at the TCA press tour this month, but Longmire wasn't among the listed.

Earlier this month Hit Fix reported a March 20 premiere for Bloodline and an April 10 premiere for Marvel's Daredevil, along with a few other new shows. Longmire, however, wasn't one of the program discussed for the near future.

So when will the crime drama return? Will it even be back in 2015? Netflix might just be waiting to see how production goes before setting a date, or perhaps the company is stalling in order to help build hype.

Writers are currently in the process of putting together the new episodes, with production set to begin in March. Netflix intends to film the entire season before releasing any of the episodes, which means that the series could be looking at an even later debut.

Fans feared for the future of this popular crime drama after it was cancelled by A&E following its third season in 2014. It had been the network's highest-rated scripted series at the time and the second highest-rated series behind the reality program Duck Dynasty. Overwhelming support poured in through social media fro viewers as the show fought for revival. Producers brought the series to half a dozen networks before Netflix stepped in and picked up the show at the end of November.

Longmire will likely return on Netflix four a fourth season during the later half of 2015.
