Lifetime has cancelled Army Wives, their long-running drama, after seven seasons. While there won’t be an eighth season, the cable channel has plans for a two-hour retrospective special with castmembers which will air in early 2014.
Army Wives follows the lives of a diverse group of women living with their spouses and families on an active Army post. Created by Katherine Fugate, the series has starred Catherine Bell, Kim Delaney, Sally Pressman, Wendy Davis, Brigid Brannagh, Kelli Williams, Brian McNamara, Sterling K. Brown, Brooke Shields, Ashanti, Torrey DeVitto, Elle McLemore, Jesse McCartney, Terry Serpico, Drew Fuller, Alyssa Diaz, J.J. Soria, Joshua Henry and Burgess Jenkins.
Rob Sharenow, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Lifetime, said, “There is no denying how special Army Wives has been to both Lifetime and the television landscape. By taking on a very relevant and timely issue, it has brilliantly captured the challenges our military families endure and the bravery they and their loved ones display while serving our country.”

I’m re-watching the 7 seasons, I will love this show and everything its about. Being an Army wife I understand everything each family and person goes through. I wish Lifetime would have continued this show.

Maybe we should contact Lifetime requesting to continue, they dont have any good show .
Watching it again, it is an exceptional series, not only the women, but the men.
The casting, the stories.
The series do not have an ending, at least they could have it.
Please not late to continue
I am now watching the whole series again and once again I am so sad that there will not be a season 8….this has been the best series ever in the history of television.
Would be so happy if they picked up and made more to add.
It was truly disappointing how it ended it made it seem like more was coming and then you’re left empty. Consider coming back.
