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 am very disallusioned with A&E. It seems that every good show that my family is interested in, and enjoys, is not renewed for a next season. The Glades was my favorite show and you should be ashamed of yourselves for leaving all of their fans up in the air and not resolving the issue of Jim being shot and by whom. Are you planning to do the same thing to Longmire????
Ending a series on such a cliffhanger is just wrong. A & E has cancelled all their good programmes and now only have garbage. Longmire and The Glades were the only show I watched on that station.
Can’t believe that Glades is not being renewed. I think the wife of the man Cal treated in her home and then turned them in did it . Please do a season 5!!!!!
Love, love, love this show! Of course a&e would cancel the good shows and leave stupid crap like duck dynasty
I only can watch it on netflix and every time I watch the whole season within a couple of days. I watch it so much, how could they do this to me. Leave that kind of cliffhanger to dangle forever. I am so sad.
I hate to see this program go it was funny and you all need to do a movie to finish this or sale it to another tv producer its need to be finish, tks
I can not believe that this show was cancelled. I will pretty betrayed as a loyal fan that it we were left with such a cliff hanger. You could have at least given them a wedding…
Ahhh where is the edit button…lol..Oh well you get the point.
Loved this show! Hate to see it left this way! Was truly hoping there would be a healing Jim for an upcoming wedding. Along with suspense of who dunnit, & the humor behind the figuring it all out. I sure hope A & E doesn’t do this with Longmire! If you ask me they could stand to drop so many reruns of Duck Dynasty & air the good stuff! I’m so happy LMN picked up Those Who Kill, another very well done show! Maybe Fox will step in and fix the finale of the Glades for all of us loyal… Read more »
our favorite show PLEASE A&E bring it back or at least a movie to bring closure
A and e is stupid for canceling the glades…. Stupid stupid stupid!!!!
Really hated the way it was left with Jim shot. I want a 5th season and I think it was the mother-in-law and ex husband. He can give credit card to someone else and have them cover for him. Or that FBI guy that seems so nice could have something to do with it, Jim gave him the address.
Was very disappointed…had my theory on who did was curious to see if I was right….Didn’t think it was the ex husband cause they jus establish he was on the other side of the county right before Jim got shot…seriously think it was the ex mother n law…she was acting weird when she dropped off her grandson to get ready for the wedding
Im sorry to hear about the end of the series. Maybe they just couldnt get him out of that fix It is a great way to go to kill off the lead. I liked Passmore and hope to see him again in something.
that suks that you are not going to renew I saw four stars so what’s the problem ?
Very disappointed!!! I love the Glades I have to watch it on Netflix also very busy family here and no cable. They need to figure something out to end the series properly!! This is one of my family’s favorites!!!
