It looked like Army Wives might be coming to an end after six seasons. Now, it turns out that last night’s cliffhanger season ending might be a good sign for season seven.
Series star Catherine Bell has noted that, while Army Wives hasn’t been cancelled, it hasn’t been renewed yet either. Via her Twitter account, Bell said that the cast and crew filmed two endings for the season six finale which was filmed in June. Presumably one that would wrap up the show and another that would serve as a cliffhanger to lead into season seven.
Though Army Wives hasn’t been renewed, Bell hints that it’s “kind of a good sign” that Lifetime went with the cliffhanger ending instead of the tidy one.
If the Lifetime show does indeed come back, you can be sure that Bell will be a part of it. The actress signed a new two year deal with the studio back in May. It potentially commits her to two more seasons of the show and gives her a significant salary increase.
Who else would be returning? That seems to be up in the air since none of the other original Army Wives castmembers have contracts now that season six is over. If Lifetime wants them back, they’ll have to renegotiate salaries and that will presumably drive production costs.
That may explain why so many characters were left in jeopardy in the sixth season finale. If deals can’t be reached, Army Wives could return with several new faces. We’ll keep you posted as we hear more.
What do you think? Do you think Army Wives will return for a seventh season? If some in the cast don’t return, who would you miss the most? The least?
Please Please.pleeze! continue this. 2 generations love this show
If it were up to me (as far as this cliffhanger and the show continuing are concerned) I would have put Gloria, General/Jackie Clark, and Nicole on that plane and taken Frank off…
I love Army Wives and really miss Pamela, and with Roxy leaving; I’ll probably give another season a try but it won’t be the same and I can’t make any promises to like it.
I love army wives, I do hope Claudia JOY RETURNS
I never missed a show and so now I really hope that there will be a season seven w/ all the orignal cast. Army wife is a wonderful show. We all have to hope that it will come back. I am going to really miss it if it does not.
I would hate to never see Roxy or Joan again. It was bad enough that Pamela left. I think they should follow Roxy and Trevor to Tacoma, then have Joan transferred there for whatever reason and continue the show there. I can do without Denise and Frank, and even Holden and Claudia Joy. If they followed Roxy and brought along Joan, then they will have all kinds of new people at the new base to bring in, while keeping the most interesting from Fort Marshal.
Great show. But everyone is expendable. The writers could take on new actresses and it would still be great. They are just that good. (correction)
Great show. But no one is expendable. The writers could take on new actresses and it would still be great. They are just that good.
I love this show and never miss an episode. I hope the powers that be can see their way clear to bring back the core cast and give us one more season.
I’d really hate to see this show go. The changes in cast have been a little rough (I MISS PAMELA!!!!!!!!) but some of the new characters are great. If they don’t come back for a Season 7 I’m going to forever loathe this ending. They should have at least done us the courtesy of wrapping it up nicely for us.
In every show the cast is what makes the show either a success or failure. In this instance, it’s the cast that also makes the show – so we need them all back! I hate that they let Pamela go!
I’ve been watching since the beginning. It’s always been corny and predictable and I think that’s why it’s comforting for me. I won’t miss Roxy/Trev, but I will watch if it comes back!
I love Army wives and would like to see it return this year with the same actors. You need to bring back the General’s wife and not kill off the actors that have made this show popular.
I pray they will bring back the original members.
I don’t think I will watch it if they change all the main players.
After all, they are the reason we watch.
It can’t end…we look forward to each episode, just keep them coming.
I love the Army Wives show, and I really hope it returns. I never miss it, and if I have to,
I record it for later.
