Johnson's latest Longmire book Depth of Winter was released in 2018.

The books about a resourceful and honest, small-town sheriff inspired a TV drama starring Robert Taylor, Lou Diamond Phillips, Cassidy Freeman, Adam Bartley, Zahn McClarnon, A. Martinez and Katee Sackhoff. The show ran for six seasons and ended in 2017.
