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?
Hi,
I just finished binging on Netflix, took a chance on this show and luv it!!
How could you cancel and leave an end like this?? Not good.
I agree with alot comments. I use to like A&E more too, but cutting off good shows to is just bad for your viewers. No support for A&E.
A&E you definitely sucks. At least end properly not half ass abd undone…
Now that people here sat you cliff hang ended Longmire too?
You as network really, really SUCK.
Bring this series back. You can’t just leave it where Jim gets shot and no one knows if he dies. And how shot him. Of course we can assume who shot him but maybe not.
We need 10 more season!!! It is a great show that all can watch.
We need season five. Most enjoyable series , like the fast moving action, thought provoking story lines and suttle HUMOR . I agree with a posted comment. Forget A&E if they continue to do what did with Glades and Longmire
I just finished watching The Glades thought for sure there would eventually be another season added because of the way season 4 ended. You can imagine how frustrated I was when I found out that A & E dropped it. They did that with Longmire also. I don’t know why anyone watches A & E anymore. It’s like being given 3/4 of a book.
Amen……couldn’t have said it better !
Wth????? I wasted all that time binging on Netflix to be shut down like that????? Screw A&E. That’s boycott worthy. Faithful fans deserve better. Now I’m reading in the comments LONGMIRE is CANCELLED?????? I’m done. A&E is off our favorites list for good.
I am re-watching The Glades…I must be nuts…right? I’m almost to 4th season and am already getting ‘re-annoyed. Netflix should probably warn people but then everyone would miss this great show. The first time I saw it I stumbled upon it…it wasn’t usual A AndE fare and I don’t think much advertised. I loved it…kept telling p people to watch it and then also got hooked on Longmire. When they cancelled The Glades I was ripped (who does that while the main character is bleeding on the floor?) But cancelling Longmire was the last straw. I vowed never to watch… Read more »
I really enjoyed the show. I stopped watching tv and watch Netflix only. When you find a great series such as the Glades you hope that it has many seasons available. It is unfortunate that we as viewers are left in this position. It would be very thoughtful, and even probably unheard of but what if the cast and networks got together and made one last episode…..hmmm just saying your fans would be thankful!
How could you not do a 5th season wtf
Great show. Found it on Netflix. Can’t believe they ended it there. What a disappointment. Finally found a fun, positive, clean cut series to watch with the family and they pull the plug. Please bring it back for all to enjoy.
Serious, awesome show, love, love, must continue!
What the crap! No show should end so poorly especially The Glades. They could at least do a mini-series to end the plot. I’d like to see Jim and Callie together.
This is a great show! Funny, clean, dramatic, with romance to boot! Please continue The Glades! We love the characters and to leave us with Jim shot on the kitchen floor is heartless! I am traumatized…there needs to be a better ending than this!
Please bring it back! Excellent cast! I found it on Netflix and it’s wonderful! I would rate it next to Blue Blood series!
