There’s good news down in South Florida. A&E has renewed their freshman TV show, The Glades for a second season.
The Glades follows Jim Longworth (Matt Passmore), a Chicago detective moves to South Florida and takes a job with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Other series stars include Kiele Sanchez, Carlos Gomez, Uriah Shelton, Jordan Wall, Michelle Hurd, and Eric Wormsley.
The series has been a solid performer for cable channel A&E since it debuted on June 11th of this year. It’s been averaging more than three million viewers each week with about a third of those in the 18-49 target demographic.
A&E has ordered 13 installments for year two. Pre-production is expected to begin later this year with episodes airing on Sunday nights sometime in 2011. Season one is scheduled to finish airing on October 3rd.
What do you think? Are you glad to hear that the show will be back for season two? Is The Glades worth watching?
Update: Season two is expected to return Summer 2011.

I love this show. Matt Passmore is wonderful in it. So happy they renewed it for Season 2. A&E knew they had a hit on their hands. Kudos to the execs for realizing that. I’m looking forward to seeing more of Matt and Kiele. They have such wonderful chemistry together.
the glades best on tv sine white collar.best looking guy
I am so relieved that this excellent show is coming back for another season.
Matt Passmore and Keile Sanchez are teriffic together. I love Matt Passmore. I am a fan for life. Also you can’t even detect Matts Australian accent. He speakes perfect English, and he’s beautiful to watch…

So happy they are coming back for a second season as I’m glued to the tv Sundays for the show!! I love this show and the cast is awesome!!
Iamso happy they renewed this program. The chemistry on the show is great!
I absolutely love this show!!!!!!!
im not a big cop show person but i like this show, i love matt and how he plays jim. him and callie are the best thing about the show.
Yea to A&E! – for production of a terrific, fun show like Glades, and for recognizing its merit and potential. I was nervous about renewal because some networks have made grave errors in cancelling a show too soon (i.e. Fox on Firefly!) but the new season will be great to look forward to.
I love this show, I have told everone I know to watch The Glades . They love it also,it new and reshing.
This show is not great,but it is good and if you dont mind a cop show like every other cop show check it out.
I look forward to this show every Sunday. Stacked up against Mad Men, I feared it might fail. As it is, I generally catch it on the 11 pm re-broadcast. I am so glad to see it is being renewed!
Great show with good acting Matt Passmore plays the part perfectly. Every episode is interesting and unique. So glad that the show will be back and that people are watching. Glad Jim’s not getting too settled in with Callie. His character is too wonderfully annoying and overconfident to be bogged down in a steady relationship. Bring the other characters front and center with him, instead.
I discovered The Glades mid season. The growing ‘relationship’ between Jim and Callie is exceiting. Witty dialouge and loads of dry humour keep the show fun. Matt Passmore is not only a superb actor, he is HOT and SEXY!!!! Love your show.
Im so happy that the Glades has been renewed… its my new favourite show.!!!!
The show is great. I love the chemistery between Jim and Callie! Matt is gerat in the role, he is so funny in his coments to people, I know it is the writers, but he does it with such flair! Can’t wait till it comes out on DVD. I will buy every season!!! Keep renewing it, a lot of my friends like it.
I agree 100%. I knew for a while those would finally get together. It’s really good to hear they renewed it. A&E don’t do many fictional shows. I really liked The Beast. That was top notch. But in the end that came down to Patrick’s health problems which we now know were fatal. Matt Passmore is excellent for this role, he’s flawless. And him annoying the hell out of Carlos Gomez is show to me is a perfect 10! I hope A&E renews this show for many seasons in the future.
