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?
Seriously, you are going to just leave us hanging??
Oh crap. I just finished the last episode of season 4 on Netflix. Major disappointment.
I bet that I’m not the only person who discovered this show on things like Netflix. I know that Amazon has it too. I believe that the show now has many more fans which would make it profitable. I know that reality shows are cheaper to make but most of them are terrible. It takes longer to garner viewers on channels other than the big 3. However I watch more shows on the other channels than I do on the big 3. Other networks are taking more risks and therefore have better shows. Please don’t abandon the many loyal fans!
Please find a way to resolve the cliffhanger at the end of season 4! I didn’t find the show until recently on Netfix and now I’m hooked. If a 5th season was made I would watch it.faithfully on whatever media. It is cruel to leave us hanging. Please do something to resolve the unanswered questions we were left with.
I think u should bring it back on I want Jim and Callie together and Jim should find his killer (which I think is Ray) after he recovers.
Can’t leave it here yet you must have another season!
Love the show
this is bull no season 5 you cant just leave the 3 million fans take this wit jak just shot there has to be a real end you guys at a&e can go bite the big one wont watch anymore of your series again
no season five for the glades? Why? It was an awesome show, so many fans that loved it. But we get stupid shows like “honey boo boo” or “think you can dance” or watching mothers torture their children with stupid dance shows or prancing their young children around for pagaents. Whats wrong with these people? Most of the shows on TV now are totally terrible! reality shows suck, I don’t of anyone that finds these shows interesting in the least. I am so very disappointed that The glades was cancelled, Lie to me was cancelled too. I basically pay for… Read more »
I just finished re-watching all four seasons on netflix to get myself ready for season 5. I can’t believe that the networks keep dropping all the good tv and not all this “reality” tv that is so bad I can FEEL my IQ dropping just by reading the title. But if it comes to the fans the networks have no problem giving us the bird. A&E really should drop all those “so and so wars” shows.
I know! So disappointed! These so called reality shows they have on there now totally suck! Like who in their right mind would watch “Honey boo boo”? Seriously? It was ridiculous and embarrassing almost, and “Duck Dynasty”? has having money made this act stupid or they always that way? or that “Dance Moms” that seems to show some mothers letting some judge totally degrade their child terribly and makes these poor kids feel terrible about themselves, whats wrong with these people?
Networks don’t care about fans, just dollar signs. But they keep showing the stupid shows which Twitter no thinking.
I just finished watching the show on Netflix and I cannot believe there will be no season 5. This show was interesting every episode. There has to be a season 5. This show can’t end as it did,.. It’s not justice to such a entertaining show and also we want to see the happy couple wed. Please bring this show back because as a viewer this is not satisfying. Not fair to the dedicated viewers.
Thanks,
Tania
Seriously? Cancelled? How rude. It’s just plain mean to cancel a show after a cliffhanger ending like this one.
Wow I’m in shock I love this show! !! All the good shows get cancelled and they keep the bad ones. Here’s an ideal put it on a new night. That would be logical thing to do.
no more A&E it it is not right produced by FOX why can’t it be shown on FOX with some kind of a real ending!!!!!!!!
WHAT??? I’ve been waiting a year to find out what happens on this show and you CANCEL it?? This was one of my favorite programs for summer viewing. I will not be watching as much A&E if this is what I may look forward to on other programs your stations broadcasts.
