Though it was still performing well, it looked like Army Wives was going to be cancelled last year. Lifetime brought it back but with some cast changes. Will the new stories and characters be well-received by fans or is it time for the venerable drama to say goodbye? We’ll have to wait and see.
Army Wives typically airs on Sunday nights and Lifetime has ordered 13 episodes this time (vs 23 last season). The cast includes Catherine Bell, Terry Serpico, Brooke Shields, Brian McMamara, Kelli Williams, Wendy Davis, Sterling K. Brown, Alyssa Diaz, Joseph Julian Soria, Torrey DeVitto, Burgess Jenkins, Ashanti, Joshua Henry, Elle McLemore, and Jesse McCartney.

Please bring it back for #8 I love this show
please bring army wives back as we are
just getting to know the new wives and they
have some interesting stories to tell.
Renew
Please renew Life Times. It is one of my favorite shows if not my most favorite. It took a little while to get used to the new characters, but I was glad “Denise” was still there. Miss “Roxy”. She was just fun to watch. I think the show is good and maybe appeals to the older ladies. We need shows we can relate to. Do not cancel.
Bring back Army Wives for Season 8. Best show. Give the new cast a chance.
loved the old characters better, seemed more at ease with the changes & story line! But we also like the new gals, although it sure took some getting used to. Some of the gals do not fit their role in looks or personality! We still love the show, so please re-new for season 8.
i think the new characters are great especially brooke shields the writers need a chance to write really great episodes for the new characters
One of my favorite shows please bring it back for season 8. Love the whole cast.
Love this show. Loved the old gang but the new are interesting as well. PLEASE keep it going.
