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?
We are holding our breath that it does come back –Army wives is one show that we both watch every time it is on, and started buying the seasons on DVD. Keep them coming..
Please bring back this show I agree with one of the others it is one of a very few good show’s left. I hate all of the reality tv stuff. I love these people and will wonder what happend to all of them. Even if you can not bring back a whole season maybe you could consider at least a two hour movie to wrap it up in. Please consider the fans in your decision.
Wow! That cliff hanger was NOT RIGHT! That being said, please BRING ARMY WIVES BACK! We need you now more than ever. The war in Afghanistan is still going on, and it seems like most Americans aren’t noticing. Army families, military families and other Americans need this show. It is so great to see an outlet on television which is like one’s own family. PLEASE continue Army Wives!
i been watchin army wives since the first season i love it please have a 7th season i want to find out what happend when the plan went down i hope everyone of the cast comes back i love them.. i hope if they are a 7th season they will show trevor and roxy alot..
i hope lifetime renews army wives……
Please do not cancel this show. As a former Army wife for 5 years, now an Army mom whose daughter leaves for basic training in October, I can so identify with this show and all the characters. I loved our Army life and all the wonderful people we met along our journey. This takes me back to those days 25 years ago. This is quality programming which is something that is lacking on tv these days in the shadow of shows like Honey Boo Boo and Toddlers and Tiaras. Please bring it back so we can find out what happened… Read more »
Please bring Army Wives back, I have been watching this show for 5 seasons. I hope
there will be a seventh season. I love this show!!!! I wish everyone could come back
to the 7th season, but if they can’t I will still watch the show with new faces.
Army wives is the best of so much programing out there now. I look forward to every episode…DON’T TAKE IT OFF, PLEASE!
Loved Army wives until gay vs Christian was completely unnecessarily brought into story line. Will never watch again.
John 8:7…..”If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.”
although I have not watched from the beginning, i have looked forward to the show every week for the past 2 seasons. i wish lifetime would show espisodes from the beginning. keeping my fingers crossed that the show will be renewed!
Would love to see season 7 with Sally and Kim back too!!!
I have watched this show since day one .
Through think and thin.
I would be devistated if it ended. It always leaves you at the end of the season waiting for more. I have very few shows that do that and life time seems to have the shows . Army Wives in one in a million.
Please keep it on.
They MUST bring it back! It can’t end this way! If Kim Delaney is having “personal” problems and is unable to return next year, as much as I’d miss her, the show CAN go on. If they do renew, I’m like Carly and think it’s about CJ, but if she is able to return, it could be the end for those onboard the plane who don’t resign. I love Kelli Williams and her character has grown on me, so she could take the reigns and Denise, Gloria and Roland can be joined by new cast members and if contracts aren’t… Read more »
I was an officer’s wife in the Air Force, and so enjoy the tight friendships, through thick and thin. Civilians don’t understand the depth of relationships for the wives who are left alone so much. It’s a great show and feel it portrays the military in a favorable “light.” I hope it continues for another season.
Deborah, don’t know if you’ll see this, but I’m a career civilian 🙂 and I do understand the tight friendships because of family members, and having lived in an Air Force base town. I saw “Army Wive” relationships firsthand as a child- including wives of enlisted personnel who were friends with officers’ wives. I am now and always have been grateful to those who serve. But! I know those who serve could not have done so without the support of their families. For all that the wives and families do to make those who serve successful, you also receive my… Read more »
I have been on both sides of this coin. I served in the US Army as well as being an Army wife after completing my service. This show portrays the military life with great truth. I can truly say I love this show. There is so much dribble on the T.V. right now with all of the rediculous “reality” shows. Please do not take away one of the shows that helps to build character and honest vaues and opinions. It really would be a great disgrace to lose this show.
I think the phone call will end up being about Claudia Joy, and the cast on the plane will make it out. We already know that Denisse is staying and she has already been through so much, they can’t take Frank away now! There will be a season 7 🙂
I so agree.
If not I was thinking there was an accident with Trevor/Roxy. And or if there were a a plan crash then that is how they will sort through the ones that will stay on the show.
