The drama ends after seven seasons.
September 24, 2013
Lifetime announced today that Army Wives will not be returning. The drama, which is the network's longest-running series, ends after seven seasons and 117 episodes.
In a press release, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Lifetime, Rob Sharenow said:
“There is no denying how special Army Wives has been to both Lifetime and the television landscape. 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. It has been an honor to be the home of Army Wives. We also want to thank Army Wives’ passionate legion of fans and everyone involved with the series: ABC Studios, Mark Gordon and Jeff Melvoin, Tanya Biank, every single cast member, as well as the crew and community of Charleston, South Carolina. Without their dedication, effort and loyalty, Army Wives’ seven wonderful seasons would not have been possible; and for that we are very grateful.”
To honor the show and say farewell, a 2-hour retrospective special featuring the show's cast is being planned for early 2014.

I know Army Wives has been cancelled since 2013, but I am currently watching it. Hadn't watched all season before. Can not understand why it was ever cancelled....I really wish there was a way to bring it back!! Great cast, great acting, great stories.

It is so sad that you decided to cancel the show. I know if you started it up again, it would be a hit, and there are so many more stories to tell. The army goes on, why can't Army Wives?

Army wives is one of the best shows on tv. My husband wanted to do away with the Lifetime channel and I would not hear of it, simply because I was waiting for the new season of Army Wives. I think you have made a huge mistake by canceling such a great show.

It breaks my heart I loved this show. Too many other shows

it show be Army Wives instead of that nutty show of Witches. Sometimes I just cannot figure it out. I am sad..

I think Army Wives should have come back for its final season. This show had talent.....emotion....guts.....glory...... and it had family......their struggles....and challenges......they leave garbage on the air and take off solid shows like this one. I looked forward to the return of Army Wives.
