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.”
What do you think? Are you sorry that there won’t be an eighth season of Army Wives? Do you think the special should wrap up the storylines in some way?
A spinoff following Roxy and/or Pamela would be awesome or a Netflix revival with another season or two! Great show!
I discovered Army Wives almost by accident but was hooked by the end of the first show in the first season. When you think of soap operas continuing year after year but Army Wives ending after seven seasons – it’s just inexplicable. This wonderful story is, by turns, heart-warming and heart-rending as it lays out the trials and triumphs of the people who serve their country and those who love and support them. I wish it could go on forever!!!
Please can you make season eight the final episode, you can’t just leave us hanging. I have truly enjoyed the seasons.
You really need to make season 8 i dont think its fair for you to just cancel a great show that showed army wives how to stick together when times get rough please make the show air again
I never realize this would be the life a Army Wife. From the show it takes a strong welled wife and children to handle all these day in and out. I praise them all for all that they do. Yes I will miss any other shows
Please bring a season eight to wrap up the story line best show yet this is my favorite tv show and to find out it’s been cancelled breaks my heart
I’d love to see a wrap up of Army Wives. it was a great show and you have no idea how it helps people cope with things ETC. I’d love to see where all the cast members in the show go between relationships relocating babies everything. please bring this show back. I’ll always keep and I on Netflix for a season 8 plus more. thank you
We need a season 8, it’s not a very sweet tasting to hear that the show has been cancelled. Please bring army wives back. Best show I’ve seen yet. Netflix bring season 8 soon.
I wish that lifetime would bring this show back I miss army wives so much I don’t think I’ve ever laughed cried and been so mad at one tv show ever! This was the worse decision lifetime ever made not returning for season 8 or more!
I am so sad and upset that there won’t be season 8. I will really miss this show! 🙁
This is the absolute best show I’ve ever watched! I will forever wonder what might have happened next. It’s a shame to let such an awesome show get cancelled. Shame on Lifetime.
Same here I’d love to see what in all would happen. I cried laughed and got mad at this show but you learn a lot from it.
I am SO upset that there won’t be a season 8, what was lifetime thinking? that’s was the best show yet!
Cliffhanger is right! What is Lifetime thinking? A great series both my husband and I enjoyed. Netflix…here is a golden opportunity to pick up the ball and run with it. Army Wives is a winner!
I think that a season 8 should be made or even bring back original characters to show how their life has changed. It was a real cliff hanger the way season 7 ended. Army wives needs to be made again. Show more not just drop it with no reasonable explanation!
I wish you all would bring back the original cast of Atmy wives. I really miss this show.
