Fans were thrilled this week to see the cast of Longmire back together again.

Walt Prepares For A Standoff On 'Longmire' This Season 

On Wednesday actress Louanne Stephens (Ruby) posted a photo on Twitter of herself alongside costars Cassidy Freeman (Cady), Adam Bartley (The Ferg), Robert Taylor (Walt) and Lou Diamond Phillips (Henry). Stephens boasted that they'd "had such fun" on set together during their first week back for production in Santa Fe, N.M.

Fans have had quite a stressful year when it comes to the series. In 2014 the crime drama was cancelled by A&E after three seasons as one of the network's top shows. It lingered in limbo for months, drawing in massive support from fans, before being picked up Netflix in November.

Production began on Monday and will continue in Santa Fe over the next few months.

Longmire will return for a fourth season on Netflix sometime this fall.
