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?
Im so sorry to hear that there wont be a season 5 I really enjoyed the series
I am very up set that A&E cancelled Glads. This is no fair to the fans an I would like to see them bring back the series.
Laura, I agree with you. My family just finished the series today and we think the network should have had, at least, a two hour series finale to wrap it up. Leaving us hanging is so wrong!!
Wow! I just found out about this show watched all four seasons on Netflix in 3 weeks time, just to find out they aren’t doing a season 5??? They cancel this show when there are other shows that are nowhere as good and they keep them? Bring it back A&E or pick it up Netflix!!!
I absolutely loved this series. Can not believe they cancelled. I am si disappointed on the network.
I hate this a show can not end like this and for you all to do that is messed up no wonder why I cancelled my cable and just went to nexflix or Hulu cable Is crap anymore because you all cut shows when it starts to really get good . I like glades when it came on and hate you all won’t at least complete the Series wow this is why your all are losing veiwers because u cut the good shows and keep the crappy ones
I am absolutely so sad to see The Glades just end!!! Such a good show & so eager to watch it… It got better all the time. Then at the height of a big day I’d been waiting for… It just ends. No closure nothing. Please revive it and let’s see Jim & Callie get married & what Jeff’s going to do?? So much could still be created to make this a great show with a decent ending!! Please!!
I am distraught! No closure for Jim and Callie? Forget them…what about me? did Ray shoot Jim…or as I suspect, the US Marshal who wanted what Jim had with Callie and Jeff? He just seemed suspicious to me from the git-go with his looks at Jeff and Callie. Please///someone finish the stroyline for us!!!
I just finished the Glades series and was very disappointed with the ending. Where’s that wedding we all anticipated? Who shot Jim?
Maybe Netflix can pick it up like they did with The Fall. We really need closure here. Who the check just ends a series on a huge cliffhanger like that?!
Alphas ended on a cliffhanger too. So disappointing
You need to make a season 5, especially when all the fans are asking for one. Ending a show like that is horrible!!
I hate it that this show is ending and I think A and E owes us some sort of closure. It is just not acceptable to end on a cliff hanger and then not offer something to tie up the loose ends. “The Lady or the Tiger” was a long time ago and nobody loves those endings.
Just finished watching The Glades . There really needs to be a follow on the show. To great a show to leave with that ending.
I can’t believe that Amazon would even run this series when no season 5 was planned, I would never have watch d any of it if I knew that it would end the that way. As someone else said ggest d, could they just make a 2 hour finale to wrap it up. Thumbs down to A&E!
It would be nice if we as fans have some closure to what happened! One more season is definitely needed! If not a full season a 2 hour event! A & E or Fox bring them back!
