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 would love to see at least a fifth season even if it is only 6-10 episodes just so they can tell us what the writers had to show it was a great series finally something with some suspense, humor, and drama without all the language it was such a great show even if they have to end it they should at least give it a nice ending ….. saw the trailer for a new series with Matthew Passmore in the lead role Satisfaction on USA 7-1-2014 but so far it does not look too good…… looks more like a… Read more »
I am so disappointed in A&E! How dare they leave the fans of The Glades in limbo like this! They absolutely, positively need to have at least 2 more shows where Jim gets discovered, finds the person who tried to kill him and they need to show the wedding! If you won’t do a couple more shows then at least make a MOVIE!!!!!! This is one of the best shows I have ever watched and I was soooo looking forward to season 5.
This sucks why would you leave a show with a cliff hanger if there was even a chance of being canceled. They could’ve ended the show with them getting married and living happily ever after the no they leave with this crap. Finish the show give us a season five give us five more episodes give us something so that we can have closure with the TV show.
How horrible! How can you do this to the viewers? The glades is the only show that i and my family enjoy on your channel. If you knew you werent going to continue with another season, you should have let jim and callie have their happy ending, and the viewers some closure. Heres a great idea… either continue with season five… and end it on a high note, or play out one last episode where we find out what happened to jim, and allow us to see the happy ending.
I Finally got all caught up with season 4 just to find out that there wont be a season 5..talk about a downer you leave season 4 with a total cliffhanger and then cancel the show its just crazy I would rather watch a series like this then a reality tv show anyday…
Please renew this show somewhere! Or do a two hour ” what happened after the finale” show. I am so into this show on Netflix! Love the actors and it reminds me of Castle my other favorite cop show. I actually like this one better because it was set in the South.
I have been patiently waiting for one of my favorite shows, THE GLADES, to return this summer, but I discovered that you people, in your infinite stupidity, canceled it! Instead you put crap like BIG SMO, or whatever the hell you call it, as well as some other ridiculously stupid shows on your schedule. I watched two shows on your station, THE GLADES and LONGMIRE, but now I won’t watch any! I refuse! You lost this viewer because of your asinine decision to cancel THE GLADES. I hope the A & E channel tanks, and it probably will because of… Read more »
Although the Glades writing got a little predictable a few times, and it was hard to find its location with each new season, it was an enjoyable show with likable characters. We held our breath to see if Jim was going to dump Carrie in Season 3 but was glad to see that he held true in season 4 then turned away disgusted when he got show at the end of Season and found out that it was cancelled. Maybe, if you would have shown it at times that was not in direct competition with other popular shows on other… Read more »
I had to run to my pc and google this series after watching such a upsetting cliffhanger and knowing that the series had been cancelled! this was a very enjoyable show and all the characters were believable and to end it this way is unfathomable to understand. some network needs to renew it and bring closure to who shot jim and what the future holds for him and callie etc. etc!!!!
I cannot fathom what The Glades was cancelled! I never missed a show and it was one of my summer favorites. What a terrible way to end.
This is not a good way to end a show. We need to know what happened and who shot Jim. Please come out with a season 5!!!!!!!!!!
This is horrible! How can they be so callous and leave it at that kind of cliff hanger.
A&E SUCKS!!!!
I can’t believe this. The Glades was one of the best shows that A&E has come up with (because Duck Dynasty is a reality show) and then they cancel it. The only scripted show they had make it more than one season. Sounds like a good plan, he said sarcastically. We at least should a show finale. I guess next they cancel Duck Dynasty because to many people are watching it too.
Wondered when The Glades was coming back on and found out it’s been cancelled! I’m very disappointed there won’t be another season. The worst part is that we were all left wondering how the story line was going to conclude. One last episode would be a good idea.
