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?
What the …I am sooooo mad that Glades ended the way it did…What the…..Such a great show and you cancel?????? Are you stupid?????? Bring it back !
! !
How can you end a series like you did with The Glades??? Just with everything coming together for the main characters and you leave him shot on the floor. I guess I should’ve looked the ending up first, but that kinda ruins watching it. This has to be the worst ending to a show, I’ve ever watched!!! I feel like I wasted my time watching this series, that was good right until I found out there wouldn’t be a fifth season. You couldn’t even kill him in the final episode, just shot and nothing from his wife to be or… Read more »
I just finished watching all 4 seasons of The Glades on NetFlix. A&E had cancelled Longmire – which is why I ended up with Netflix so I could continue watching THAT show. To leave even The Glades with the main character shot on the day of his wedding is WRONG. Just another reason to never watch A&E ever again. I think I know who did it…..
I started watching on Netflix since I didn’t get to watch it on tv- and was so wrong how they ended the show they could of wrapped it all up in season 5 then that be it. just so wrong
Would have liked to have seen the program come to a ending with a closure. At least 5 episodes. Really enjoyed watching as did my wife.
So normal can’t turn a buck screw the fans
that is a real rotten move if you can’t afford to produce something why are you in the business. so normal for a company if you can turn a buck screw the fans.
I think we are all getting tired of watching and investing time on a series on Netflix or whatever, and then the powers at be just cancel the next season. Not fair to fans. However, when did that matter? Shame on them!!!!
please give a season 5, don’t let jim die . not with out him and callie getting married
I would love to see more seasons of The Glades. Great series for young and old..
I became hooked on Glades recently, watching it on Netflix. I loved the show! I can’t believe it ended like it did with no season 5! Here is to hoping that Netflix or another channel with pick it up. It had humor to mystery, my kind of show!
Nooooooooooooo, please, please don’t end The Glades! I love this show. It had everything, romance for the ladies, and murder mystery for the guys, and even a little comedy. At least don’t end it this way. I’m not going to be able to sleep for weeks!
Thie glades has been one of my favorites from the beginning to the end, it is so unfortunate to hear about it’s cancellation. The actors are great and the writers relly had good stories. the directors did a real good job in this awesome drama series. I wish that there was a way to continue the episodes in many other seasons, Like criminal minds and other action tv series, I am so very sorry that the end of the season ended so abruptly and sad. Maybe Netflix can make it happen for THE GLADES next seasons?
I am so upset! The cliffhanger and no season five??? Ugh this was such a great series!!!
I am very upset that Glades was cancelled. I hope that maybe Netflix my resurrect it .
