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?
This sucks I have been waiting for the 5th season of The Glades to start and I find out it’s been cancelled. What the heck is up with that A&E?!?! They need to get off their butts and put it back on the air ASAP. I also see the actor Matt Passmore who played Jim is going to be on a new show. I am so mad. They need to get him back and put The Glades back on the air. It seems like they take all the good shows off the air and replace them with crap show.
I really enjoyed the Glades. There should be a Season 5. You can’t leave viewers hanging with the season 4 ending. Who shot Jim and did he survive the attack? Jim and Callie have been romancing each other from the start and definitely end up being married to each other.
I have been waiting all winter to see who shot Jim…now I see it’s cancelled. Very sad..loved the show.
I feel the same way. They need to put it back on the air.
BOO! BOO! TO EVER DECIDED TO CANCEL. IT IS A GOOD SHOW! WHAT OTHER DUMB IDEAS WILL THEY COME UP WITH. PROBABLY ANOTHER DUMB REALITY SHOW. UGH UGH
I agree totally! I am sooooo tired of reality shows! I have enough of that in life.
Very DISAPPOINTED in A&E and in FOX.
The Glades was one of my favorites shows.
How can you just leave all of us just hanging
Like this? Moves like this do not make me
Interested in watching other programs on
Either of your stations.
I have been waiting for this show to come back on to see who shot Jim. I LOVE this show – it was clever, real, entertaining. It was my favorite show. I am so disappointed by this.
Hate they cancelled this show! The characters were great…the ebb and flow of the show couldn’t be beat! BRING IT BACK!!
I am so upset they cancelled The Glades. This was one of the best sows on TV. We will never know who shot Jim and what would happen with he and Callie. This is sad! How could they cancel it! Idiots!
MAD! How can you cancel a show with a cliff hanger especially when Jim & Callie were getting married. Bring it back
This was my favorite show, Hate Hate Hate that they canceled it. I guess so they can put on a stupid reality show
Hate the fact they cancelled this show and are leaving fans hanging!!
I want the five season of Glades. Yes, they should be married. If Fox produced the show why can’t it be shown on Fox?
They should have a season 5. They need to show what happened to Jim and they also need to show that Jim and Callie got married. This truly sucks that they cancelled a perfectly good show.
This really sucks. I really liked The Glades and I want to know who shot Jim and Jim and Callie should be together. There should be a season 5
This Sucks!!!!
