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?
Won’t watch A & E anymore
I will only watch Longmire on A&E until you bring back The Glades or cancel Longmire……Some people like A&E do not like to be winners…..they cut off their noses to spite their faces ring a bell A&E????
How unfair…leaving it opened like that… I liked the show, I think its bs to cancel like they did…Thanks for nothing
What a letdown. I would admit that the police work was a bit cheesy but the overall theme was the love life of some of the key characters. With this in mind, one could very easily overlook the lame police work and look forward to the growing relationship of Jim & Calli and where it ends. The network can’t be serious about cancelling with all viewers chomping at the bit for start of season 5. Lets get on with it.
Sorry, Phil, but that ship sailed quite a while ago. The network announced the cancellation just a few days after they aired the Season 4 finale. I feel your pain, because it just isn’t fair to leave us fans hanging on the edge of our seats with no resolution possible.
That’s about right!
I love that series. It was a good suspense and it wasn’t full of unnecessary grotesqueness. Figures, all the good one die young! I hope they decide to bring that one back. It really was a good show.
I am very very very disappointed that there will be no season 5. To just end it with Jim being shot is just messed up on so many levels. There should be some resolution. I hate it when TV shows end like this after 49 episodes!!!!!!
I really enjoyed the show. Even if they don’t do a whole season 5 at least wrap it up with a longer ending episode. Jim and Callie should get married and Jim should have a complete recovery. Unhappy endings annoy me.
The cliff hanger is horrible… Jeff and Callie deserve to be together! That is a horrible way to end a show without renewing! Please let us know what was suppose to happen!
Please, please bring the show back at least one more season so that the Fans can find out what happens to Jim and Callie!!! So looking forward to the new season!
Please don’t leave us hanging!! Jim and Callie deserve to be together!! At least give us fans closure!!
Y’all need to put the glades back on this is a great tv show…have you seen some of the crap y’all are keeping but getting rid of the good shows
I love ❤ The Glades!! Please don’t leave us fans in the dark!! Just one more season, PLEASE!!
why take off the good ones maybe your market analysis was wrong
Pleaseee continue at least give us a closure. I wont see another a&e serie i wont fall in love with a show and then what????
They really need to renew this show or at least have a season 5 to let you know what happens to Jim (who I think is SO ADORABLE!). And if he and Callie get married and not leave us all hanging!!! It’s such a shame! This was one of my favorite shows! It had a little bit of everything in it, drama, comedy, romance and the cast all worked well and fit together!!! I BEG YOU, do something, and fill us in on what happens next. Don’t leave us hanging PLEASE!!!
