A&E Cancels THE GLADES After Four Seasons
After four well-received seasons, A&E has cancelled its long-running drama THE GLADES.
Though holding fairly well in the ratings, with the finale setting the season's high with 3.4 million total viewers, The Glades has seen a double-digit drop in the key 18-49 demo, prompting the network to pull the plug.
The announcement comes just a day after A&E renewed LONGMIRE.
THE GLADES, the network's first successful venture into scripted television, featured Matt Passmore, Kiele Sanchez, Jordan Wall, Carlos Gomez, and more. The series followed Jim Longworth (Passmore), an attractive and brilliant Chicago homicide detective with a reputation for being difficult. When his captain wrongfully accuses him of sleeping with his wife and shoots him, he is exiled and forced to relocate. He lands in the sleepy, middle-of-nowhere town of Palm Glade, outside of the Florida Everglades, where sunshine and golf are plentiful and crime is seemingly at a minimum. But Longworth soon finds out this town isn't quite as idyllic as he originally thought, when murders keep piling up. Each case pulls Longworth off the golf course and reluctantly into his element as one of the sharpest homicide detectives to wear a badge.
