As expected A&E has cancelled The Glades after four seasons on the air. There won’t be a fifth season or wedding for Jim (Matt Passmore) and Callie (Kiele Sanchez).
The dramedy began in July 2010 and it became their first scripted series to last more than a season. The cancellation comes days after The Glades’ fourth season finale attracted 3.41 million viewers. This was the show’s most-watched episode since the series premiere which drew 3.55 million.
Unfortunately, the fourth season as a whole was down by 14% year-to-year and The Glades was the cable channel’s lowest-rated scripted series. It didn’t help that the show was also produced by Fox, an outside studio, so A&E didn’t have a financial stake in the show’s future.
Of course, the real losers are the fans. The fourth season ended on a cliffhanger with Jim being shot in the chest by an unknown assailant. Hopefully the producers will find a way to give faithful viewers an idea of what might have happened in season five.
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that The Glades has been cancelled? How would you have resolved the cliffhanger? Should Jim and Callie be together?
I just recently started watching this show and it’s one of the best I’ve watched in awhile, with the drama, the cliffhangers, the curiosity of what’s gonna happen next, and the nonstop attention grabbers the show throws at you. I really think they should continue making the series and starting season 5 with what’s gonna happen with Jim and callie, and if Jim even manages to pull through. Please make another season to this show
I discovered this wonderful series some time ago and have watched it many times. It is heartbreaking for fans to not have any closure with this marvelous series! To have Jim shot by an unknown assailant prior to getting married leaves the imagination to wander aimlessly looking for an ending! Please give us some sort of closure! This was a great cast and the behind the scenes crew made this show!
I think they should make a session 5 and start off where Jim gets shot from a mysterious unknown asalent I think they should have the chief medical examiner come in and find him and take off from their with Jim and callie finally getting married I’ve been waiting to see if you guys were ever going to bring it back please we all need to know what happens
I can’t believe we will never know what happened to Jim! I think it is terrible. I want to see he is okay and that Jim and Callie got married. I think Callie’s x-husband shot him but we will never know. If they were going to cancel then they should have ended the show with them getting married.
Ditto to all of them who think this show should come back. Gotta see how they resolve all of the issues in married life.
ALL THESE YEARS LATER, I AM STILL MAD THAT THEY CANCELLED THIS GREAT SHOW. GLAD THOUGH I CAN WATCH OLD EPISODES ON NETFLIX
I think you guys should bring black Glade it sucks Jim got shot but we all would like to see what happens I think you should bring back 5 it’s not fair to the fans
Common, what are you doing?
I’m a man on fire.
Season 5 go go go
À+
I enjoyed this show. So sorry to see it end. Do not kill off Jim Longmire. He is great and so was his life going to be…
I think it sucks that they cancelled this great show!! also Longmire was one another one of my favorite shows, hopefully someone will widen up and bring back season five so we can not be left hanging.
please bring Glades back
