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’m so disappointed that the show ended so abruptly! I wanted to see the wedding & now I want to know who shot Jim ( I think it was the Ex-Husbands mom), regardless I hope the producers extend season 4 by one episode and wrap up all the loose ends.
I think Jim and Callie should have gotten married. I think Carlos should have gone to the house Jim had purchased as a surprise for Callie on their wedding day. This way Jim could have been saved, and end on a positive note.
Shame on A&E ending it like this. I won’t watch anymore A&E.
Has to be the dumbest ending since “who shot JR” which,by the way, was resolved.
whoever wrote the episode should be required to watch never ending reruns of the honeymooners!
So furious that I spent all that time watching the Glades and no Season 5. Crappie producers. I certainly won’t check your shows out again.
That really sucks there is not at least a couple of episodes to complete the series. I wasted my time watching to see a ending..
PLEASE FIGURE OUT A WAY TO HAVE SEASON 5
The Glades needs to be continued
