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?
At least do a season 5 with a good ending, leaving with Jim being shot is crazy. I watched on Netflix not knowing it was cancelled and love love the show, please do a season 5.
Please bring the Glades back. This was a great show to watch. Very disappointed!!!
A season 5 would be great. The acting is excellent in this terrific show.
I agree that a two hour special needs to be made. Even an hour-long to give us some kind of closure. This was the meanest thing that the executives in charge could do to fans of the show.
I can’t believe the series was canceled. What a horrible thing to do to fans to end on a cliffhanger!!! I’m very angry and the least you could have done was NOT to end it like that!!!!!! Very disappointed in the network and I am actually afraid to start watching anything else because of the horrible decision they made here. Who knows what they’ll do next? Very very tacky!!!!
Okay I was severely disappointed at the ending the network left us! Hey A and E, here’s what should happen – do something nice for your faithful customers! Have a 2 hour special for us! I would buy from VUDU a copy of it just to have an ending! So here’s what i did: I had to come up with my own version of the ending: Carlos calls again and still no answer. Its not like Longworth answer his call the second time. Carlos being his proverbial work wife knows that Longworth would never miss a call twice. Callie is… Read more »
thank you… I like how you wrote it.
WHY!!! would they do this to us??!! Dumb A&E!! At least one more season, or one more SHOW just to resolve the cliffhanger! Some other network should have picked it up…loved Glades and so sad they decided to leave it like that.. big mistake.
Why air the show on Netflix If you know there’s no ending??? IT must be a season 5 or at least a follow up episode. Please!
I love the glades and they SHOULD have at least an ending!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I learned a hard lesson with the cancellation of
this show. I will not allow myself to be caught up
in a series again. I’ll stick to books.
Network needs to bring back to finish story line. Horrible for fans.
NOOOOOOOO!! why are you guys cancelling! I love this show! I am desperate to find out what happens in season 5. you guys can’t just cancel after episode 13 of season 4.
I loved the Glades why would you cancel such a great show 🙁
Bring the Glades back awesome show! !!!
i just watched the entire season on Netflix and can’t believe I had never heard about it! I wish they would make another season because once again I am left with “What in the world happened!”
