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’m a 71 year old male. Glades was one of my favorite shows. I watch about 8 to 10 network TV shows and Glades was one of them.
Love the stories, the scenery/location, the actors, the humor/fun things that was said and went on, etc. It’s a enjoyble show to watch.
The Glades is the best show out there right now. My husband, my son and I watch it together every night it’s on and we love it. Thanks for bringing it back A&E.
I am so happy to learn that; The Glades , is returning!!!! this is truly one of the best tv series ever produced!! Thank you for bringing this show back!!!
I totally enjoy the Glades. I’m so glad it’s coming back this year sometime. I never missed an episode yet. Thanks for giving it another chance.
A&E, please have faith, step up and order a complete season 24 episodes of The Glades……..ordering 13 episodes is a cop out. You want the fans to buy into the series but you won’t commit to US…….. You have a hit, stick with it and we will stick with you.

Kudos to A&E for sticking with what works. I’m so sick of reality shows. Matt is a total biscuit
