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 is so wrong. Now we will never have closure about anything
I think it stinks that just as soon as there are good programs on and folk love to watch them, that the networks have the power to say oh well not enough of you are watching this so we will just end them. How rude! Put The Glades back on and for goodness sake leave Longmier alone too. You take him off and am almost to the point of canceling all of A&E programming from now on.
Am sorry to read there will not be no more glades.I was so excited to watch season 5.it’s a great show.I loved all the action and all the actors.Am going to miss the show very much.
I just started watching The Glades on Netflix and just finished the 4th season.
I got online after the finale to find out when the next season would start only
to be so disappointed that it was cancelled. After all of the time it took for them
to get together only to end with him getting shot and leaving her waiting at the
alter. Come on, at least do one episode to wrap it up. I love this show. Wish I had
known about it earlier. Maybe ratings would have been higher. Hope another network
will pick it up.
Watched from the beginning, and loved it. Can’t imagine you would leave us hanging. Please bring it back – Great series – Why not at least air a good ending?
Love the show – please don’t leave the fans hanging! so many other shows should be cancelled – not this one!
I just heard they cancelled Longmire..I’m shocked that show was well written and I was looking forward to it starting up again…lots of lousy shows out there and they only cancelled the good ones.
great cliff hanger – dumb asses who canceled Glades should be canceled themselves!@
It was Roy’s mother!
It is Ray
Really no season 5 just leave us with a cliffhanger. I’m really upset why even have a cliffhanger at the end of season 4 if y’all were to cancel it. Bring it back or at least have a 2hour final. Very upset!
I am so upset too. Glades was my favorite show and I hope that someone will bring it back and satisfy viewers with continuation of season 5 or just few episodes.
Hopefully some other network will pick up ‘The Glades’ in near future. If not then why not have a 2 hour series finale’ in order to provide closure to the millions of fans who did watch the show?
Yes,I agree!! It was really messed up to end the 4th Season the way they did. I’m hoping that another network would pick it up because I really love this show and the cast.
The same idiots that cancelled the Glades just canceled Logmire? Hope you get your fill of Big S MO!!!!
I am so upset. When I bought the 4 seasons there was suppose to be a 5th. Now I feel really terrible . You need to have a 2 hour finale. Why would you not have a finale ? That is stupid! These are good characters !!!! Let us know where these characters go, please.
How could you cancel such a good series. Please bring it back. To leave it with a cliffhanger is just wrong!!!!!
Glades was my favorite show to watch. Please bring it back!!!
