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?
I absolutely loved Army Wives… Each character brought special meaning to our military lives… Roxy and Trevor played very special parts with him being very Army and she maturing from the former tough life to a great Army wife. Denise and Frank were perfect for each other and their characters complimented each other… Roland and Joan by adopting David, a young boy who is Hiv+ made it so real.. I miss Claudia Joy, Chase and Pamela. Michael made u feel that he was actually in the Army, not just portraying one on TV.. Please, Please don’t cancel ARMY WIVES… It… Read more »
PLEASE DO NOT CANCELL. I LOVE IT.
Please do not leave us like this. You must give us season 7. This is one of the best shows on Television. Bring them back!
never fails every time people are able to relate and enjoy a show the network cancels it or changes the the whole cast. They really should not cancel it. This was the one program I looked forward to watching on Sun evenings. I really would miss Roxy and Trevor . They are so down to earth and most people can truly relate to them and their situations. Please renew season 7.
Please don’t cancel Army Wives. It is my all time favorite show on Lifetime. Please bring Claudia Joy back.
I love this show and they cant leave it with this ending i love it so much and think it is the best thing on television what will i do with my sunday nights its the best i will feel so sad if it goes 🙁
Please don’t stop this show especially with such terrible end. I think that with this show you brought to our home part of the challenges of being an army’s wife and families ,and it reminds the viewers in round about way that we still have troops in Afghanistan .I also watched the program from the beginning and enjoy it. To finish the program the way you did is really crul and really thought less just think if something like that really happen ? Crul people crul.
I too LOVE this show and hope that it is not the end! That was a horrible ending to such a good series! Bring back Pamela and Chase and dont let Roxy and Trevor leave! Roxy makes the show! Anxiously awaiting for season 7 as well!
YES for a season 7 ….please! I love Army Wives & can’t imagine my Sunday nights without it…Great blend of characters’ personalities etc…Keep the episodes coming! (P.S. It wouldn’t be a season finale if it didn’t leave you hanging & wanting more!)
Please do not cancel Army Wives, it’s a fantastic show, much better than all these reality shows and talk shows. I’m sick of all of these so called stars that get talk shows, we need realistic programming like Army Wives. I really hated the cliffhanger, all of the people can’t die. Please, please bring it back.
I have watched Army Wives since the beginning and haven’t missed a single episode. I really missed Pamela and Chase and Claudia Joy. This year’s season was good and I really liked getting to know the new cast members but the cast we lost was sorely missed. I was horrified by the finale. If this was actually the end of Army Wives, I cannot believe the writers would end the show with a whole plane full of military personnel is killed in a plane crash. Horrible horrible horrible that u would have so many main characters killed. Leaving ur fans… Read more »
I will be very upset if they don’t bring back army wives. I spent many years in the army and enjoy the how much this show mad me fell for the old days. With the way it ended I believe it will return for season 7.
Please don’t cancel the best show on lifetime.
Thanks
Michael is the best character along with Catherine and Roland.
This is by far my favorite series on cable or network. Please continue the series but bring back Kim Delaney.
I know you have heard this many times before but, I have not missed one episode since Army Wives started. The mix of charactors meld very well and the story lines have not become stale. I did find it better with the original cast but as long as it continues to hold entertainment value I’m fine. I can’t believe that you would truly let Roxy and Trevor slip away, they play off of each other so well. I also felt that Pamela and Chase kept things hopping, and I love that it has comedy and drama. My husband and I… Read more »
