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?
Army wives is one of my favorite shows. please dont leave it with that ending. i would be very disappointed if some of the cast is killed off, but would adjust. i love all the characters and wish they were not separating them.
I am really hoping for a season 7. I think that Lifetime will be making a huge mistake if they don’t renew Army Wives for another few seasons. It is such a great show, with very wonderful characters. I would like to see even Pamela and Chase come back!!! Lifetime….Please renew my favorite show!!!
I have watched Army Wives since the very beginning and absolutely love it. I like Gloria’s character – she’s a great fix. Hope Trevor and Roxie return along with Pamela and Claudia Joy. Would love for there to be a Season 7.
This is my all time favorite show. Please bring it back. I already miss Claudia Joy. Where has she been since her kidney transplant. I am glad to hear that Denise will be returning, she would be greatly missed.
I hope that Army Wives comes back for another season otherwise what a terrible way to end it. Let’s just hope it was a cliff hanger & not a full on over the cliff ending!
I love Army Wives. Please please please bring it back for a 7th season. I have watched faithfully for all seasons. I feel like I know the cast personally. The new casting are great too. And the new story lines are wonderful. You have tackled some tough issues but you bring a different view and it is appreciated.
I really enjoy Army Wives. I have only one complaint with the past season…I DO NOT support or enjoy the roles of the gay couple. As much as I enjoy the series, I have seriously thought of stopping watching it. The only reason I have continued is that their parts have been minimum. You seem to be adding to it now, especially with the adopting added in. I will have some serious decisions if they become a every episode envolvement.
That was very rude! It is part of our world as we know it. I am not gay, but do have a sister that has a partner that is a woman. I support her with everything I have. She loves her partner as anyone would. Her gf treats her better than probably some men would. No, it’s not for everyone but we should not judge when someone finds love in an unconventional way. So, to me you are saying that I should disown my sister because she is gay. I mean, you dearly love this show and you are willing… Read more »
So we have hope. Have watched since season 1 episode 1 and like that we have added some very interesting new “wives” and hope we indeed get season 7. Do wonder what happened to Claudia Joy (is Kim in rehab). Gloria is a good casting move now that Roxy has moved on…or with the plane crash will Trevor be recalled? Is Kelly Williams the new Claudia Joy? Sure hope we get a season 7
I have watched Army Wives since the very 1st show. I would be very dissapointed if Roxie and Trevor did not come back. Actually I want all of the originals and Gloria to be back, that is what made the series so good. These actors and actresses should all have been nominated for Emmies. Why they are overlooked I do not know. 1oo times better than some of the crap that is nominated. Like Modern Family, that is a very silly show. So is How I met your mother. This show is more real and heartwarming.
Please renew Army Wives. I live this show it is very well written. I love Claudia Joy, Denise and Roxie!!
Love this show! Really hope all of the cast return, especially the originals. Can’t wait for season 7.
I got a late start watching Army Wives and just watched this last season. I wish I could have seen all the seasons. I think it is a very well written and acted show with a great story line. I certainly will miss it if it does not return for the 7th season !!!

Marilyn,
You should purchase the other series. You cna buy them used through amazon and other websites. GREAT WATCHING FOR SURE!
I love Army Wives. I was a Lieutenent’s wife from 1976 to 1980. This show lets me re-live my youth. It is well written and the acting is superb. It also continues to remind us civilians what our soldiers and their families are sacrificing for our freedoms! Please LIFETIME continue this show!
Terrible ending….. not fair for people who have been loyal and watched army wives from the beginning. I really enjoyed the show and was very disappointed with the ending since I knew it was the finale.
I would like to see Army Wives continue. This is by far one of the only good shows on TV. It is refreshing to see families trying to do right and stay together under all that families have to deal with. I wold one day like to meet some of the cast of characters because they are all great.
