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 loved this show! It was a cool bonus to see the dad from Psych play a cop’s dad in this show too. I have Glades on my (watch later list) on Netflix thinking it was getting a new season. guess I can take it off then. What a crap way to end the show to boot.
It is a crapy way to end the show and i wish they would make a nother season and it pissed me off when they ended the show like that.
Like everyone else, I am so very disappointed that “Glades” was canceled. Please Please Please bring this awesome series back. Here’s my out look and theory of who shot Jim. “No one knows anything about the detective that Jim hired. He is keeping track of Callie’s ex-husband for Jim. This detective’s big secret is… He is also working for Callie’s ex-husband to keep track of Jim’s every move. Callie’s ex-husband also paid the the detective a large sum of cash to take down Jim. Callie’s ex-husband was very specific that the detective pick the perfect time and place where no… Read more »
We love the show and don’t want to see it cancelled. Please don’t do that.
Yes I am very upset that the glades will not have a 5th season. It was an awesome show to watch. my husband and I liked it so much were watching it again on Roku. we can sure have six or seven seasons of the walking dead. I hate this show. Yes, I think Jim and Callie should be together. they are such a cute couple.
I just found this program on Netflix and have watched all the seasons. I really love the program never knew it was on regular TV or would have been watching it weekly. but now that you left us all hanging with Jim getting shot I know now why I don’t watch weekly programs you just left us totally out there.
I am so disappointed in your cliffhanger ending and then find out you are not going to have a fifth season, I love this show and have actually watched it twice now so please think about your fans and not your numbers, it had great actors, comedy, mystery and above all a great story line.
I just recently started watching The Glades on Netflix and became addicted . I watched every show right up to the end . I cant believe it was cancelled !
I am sooooooooooooooooo upset! ARE THEY CRAZY???? NO SEASON 5?
Ray probably shot him……Carlos has to get to the new house in time to save him….(by the way the new house is beautiful!) and the bride MUST have a wedding!! Boo hoo : (

makes you not want to watch series if they end them like this
bring it back
Please bring it back fan’s need to know what happened and we want to see jim get his happy ending. Please bring it back even if it’s just for a two hour episode so please bring it back please.
My husband and I watched all four seasons of The Glades on Netflix, and we were highly disappointed that it ended on a cliffhanger. We had enjoyed the episodes of the show; even though it was formulaic, it was entertaining and interesting. My he characters had become real to us. It would be nice to at least have a movie to pull their lives back together. I can appreciate “creating my own ending,” but that is not as satisfying as watching the characters play it out to the end.
Disgusted
If your going to cancel put a proper
finish to it
Leaving it like this is like having
roast lamb without mint sauce
Terrible thing to have it cancelled just when I finished binge watching on Netflix!! Loved the show and to end it without a follow up just confirms my abject loathing for Fox!! A& E should be ashamed as well for letting Fox end it in that fashion!
Oh man!! I can’t believe they are leaving us handing like this. I am sorely disappointed. Yes they should get married!! Callie;s husband shot him and therefore he goes to jail to get them out of their life forever, except for the fact her son loves his father. Oh well, that is why I am not a writer but a viewer and a very disappointed one. Loved the characters!!
