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?
they really need to bring back season 5 of the Glades! Who shot Jim??? Let’s have the wedding!!!

Un ejemplo: estás viendo junto a una persona “toxica” una película… Read more »
Really upset that there is not Season 5 and we are left with a cliffhanger! Really crap on the part of the network shame on A&E
My husband and I are really disappointed season 5 was cancelled. I hope your decision can be over turned a nd you can find a way to rethink your decision. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
