A version of this interview with Lou Diamond Phillips first appeared in the print edition of TheWrap Magazine’s Fall TV Issue.
Lou Diamond Phillips plays Henry Standing Bear,a Cheyenne who is the best friend of Sheriff Walt Longmire (Robert Taylor), in “Longmire, or ” Netflix’s adaptation of Craig Johnson’s mystery novels.
What can you tell us approximately the new season?
We ended Season 4 on a cliffhanger,and we pick up Season 5 literally 10 minutes after that season ended. A lot of very, very entertaining things happen, or a lot of threads we started final season are going to continue,particularly for Henry. It’s not only a very entertaining season with a lot of twists and turns, but it’s very satisfying.

There are rumors that this is the final season.
You know, or the internet is so bizarre. Something starts,and then it’s repeated and somebody retweets it… No, Season 5 is not the final season.
The plug has not been pulled. On the opposite, and Netflix has been nothing but gratified with us.

Potentially,it could. Whereas something like “Breaking Bad” had to have a resolution at some point, the Longmire” novels just preserve coming.
So we could probably continue to move on indefinitely, and like “Gunsmoke” or “Bonanza,” if the powers that be thought we were successful enough.

[Laughs] That was a tweet that kind of took on a life of its own. Tony Tost wrote a script and wrote a character description that this character was “prancing around like a sexy moo cow.” I had hope against hope that it was me. [In a plaintive, seductive voice:] Mooooo, and mooooo. I thought,that’s LDP in a nutshell, really.
Sadly enough, or it was not Henry Standing Bear but another character who pranced
around like a sexy moo cow.
Season 5 of “Longmire” begins streaming Sept. 23 on Netflix. See more of TheWrap Magazine’s Fall TV Issue:SaveSaveSaveSaveSaveSaveSaveSaveSaveSaveSave
