After seven seasons, Lifetime has cancelled its ensemble drama ARMY WIVES.

"There is no denying how special Army Wives has been to both Lifetime and the television landscape," Lifetime's Rob Sharenow said today in a statement, according to Deadline. "By taking on a very relevant and timely issue, it has brilliantly captured the challenges our military families endure and the bravery they and their loved ones display while serving our country."

The seventh season returned with 13 all-new episodes on March 10, and premiered to 2.26 million viewers, down from years past.

The seventh season of the network's hit series intorudced four new characters headlined by Grammy(R) Award-winning singer/songwriter and actress Ashanti (Resident Evil: Extinction, John Tucker Must Die, Coach Carter), Brooke Shields, Torrey DeVitto (Pretty Little Liars, The Vampire Diaries), Elle McLemore (Bring It On, The Suite Life on Deck) and Emmy(R) and Grammy nominee Jesse McCartney (All My Children)

Produced by ABC Studios, with Mark Gordon and Jeff Melvoin serving as executive producers, the series is based on the book Army Wives: The Unwritten Code of Military Marriage by Tanya Biank, who serves as a consultant.
