Army Wives will return for duty on Lifetime.

The female-skewing cable network has renewed the Kim Delaney drama for a seventh season consisting of 13 episodes.

"Army Wives is a very special program. It's rare to find a series that connects with viewers and resonates so powerfully after six straight seasons, and we couldn’t be prouder to have it return to Lifetime next year," Lifetime executive vp programming Rob Sharenow said Friday.

In its recently completed sixth season, the series averaged 3.2 million total viewers and ranked as ad-supported cable's No. 1 series in its premiere time period among women 18 and up.

The series co-stars Sally Pressman, Brian McNamara, Sterling K. Brown, Wendy Davis, Drew Fuller, Terry Serpico, Kelli Williams and Catherine Bell in a story about a diverse group of women (and one man) living with their families on an active Army post and is based on the book Army Wives: The Unwritten Code of Military Marriage by Tanya Biank, who consults on the drama.

Yay! I'm so happy about this right now, especially after that cliffhanger ending.

I wonder if this will be the final season. And I wonder if Kim will be back since she was missing for most of the season. Catherine will definitely be back, but I'm not sure about Drew and Sally.

Also, still LOLing forever over Roxy and Trevor naming their sons Wyatt and Drew.

Edit:

TVLine said this:

That said, exactly who from the series cast will return for Season 7 has not been detailed, and is not expected to be announced until closer to the start of production.

OMG I totally didn't realize they named them Wyatt and Drew! I mean, I did, and I realized the Drew thing but then forgot that he used to play Wyatt!
klutzy_girl 22nd-Sep-2012 12:57 am (UTC)
No, he played Chris. Wyatt was Chris' brother!

Oh yeah, lol. It's been a long time since I've seen Charmed!

Kim Delaney Poised To Exit Lifetime’s ‘Army Wives’; Will There Be More Departures?

Yup, saw that yesterday! Not much of a surprise considering she was gone for most of the season. Hoping Brian sticks around, though.
titti 22nd-Sep-2012 03:27 pm (UTC)
It's not surprising after that little speech she gave while being completely drunk. I hope she's at least getting help.

I'd love for Brian to be back.
klutzy_girl 22nd-Sep-2012 03:31 pm (UTC)
I figured she was in rehab after she stopped appearing, and I hope she's getting help too.

I think Drew and Sally will be gone, tbh. The season finale seemed to be an ending for them.

Catherine will definitely be back since she signed a new deal recently, and Kelli Williams is also returning since she just joined last year.

Ugh, it's going to suck having very few originals next season. Hopefully it'll be the last season.

I need to rent this so I can start it from the beginning. I started around season 3 I think.

It's on Netflix Instant if you have that.

Love this show. Even though, being a military wife, I cringe at some of the inaccuracies. .........Still watch it every week.
prophecypro 21st-Sep-2012 05:34 pm (UTC)
Whoa, this show is still running?
Is the lady from JAG on this still?
klutzy_girl 21st-Sep-2012 05:35 pm (UTC)
Yup, she's still there!
angi_is_altered 21st-Sep-2012 06:03 pm (UTC)
I tried watching it once and thought it was really awful. I am surprised to learn it is still on.
dedebee 21st-Sep-2012 06:17 pm (UTC)
This is surprising, since it seemed like they were promoting the season finale like the whole show was ending.

Now just renew Drop Dead Diva damnit!

As long as Gloria and her ridiculous Latina accent is gone, I'm fine.

racista
melissa_ivory 21st-Sep-2012 07:50 pm (UTC)
I never got into this series, and I don't hate it or anything, but this has had six seasons already?! Time just flies by, doesn't it?

yaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssssssss
lozzy 22nd-Sep-2012 12:58 am (UTC)
I'm happy about the renewal. I hope they don't get rid of anymore people. If Roxy and Trevor don't come back I'll be hesitant to watch(but I will anyway). I feel like Claudia Joy should come back at least once and give us some closure about where she is and whatever. Like, they said she was in Washington DC because the first lady asked her to be there and then the next episode they said something about her being halfway around the world. Unless I missed something in between those two points!
klutzy_girl 22nd-Sep-2012 01:00 am (UTC)
Well, Deadline's reporting Kim's definitely gone. I hope this doesn't mean that Brian's gone, too. Maybe the cliffhanger was the fact that Claudia Joy was dead or something?

And I don't think Drew and Sally will be back, tbh. That seemed like an ending to them.

The only people we know for sure that are returning are Kelli Williams and Catherine Bell. (Kelli just became a regular last year, and Catherine recently signed a new deal for two years.)
lozzy 22nd-Sep-2012 01:23 am (UTC)
Yeah, I hope they'll keep Brian too. I think they will since he did this season and Kim basically wasn't on much. I was wondering if the phone call he got had something to do with Claudia Joy and not with the plane crash, so that's a good possibility!

It did seem like an ending, but if you get rid of Pamela and Roxy and Trevor then all of my favorites are gone. :( I mean, if this was the last season then I'd be okay with it though.
klutzy_girl 22nd-Sep-2012 01:44 am (UTC)
I'm truly surprised this wasn't announced as the final season, but I bet it will be. Hardly any of the originals will be returning!

I'll really miss Roxy and Trevor, especially since I started watching for Drew.

Denise and Frank are my favorite couple, though, so I'll be sticking around for them.
zeonchar 22nd-Sep-2012 06:37 pm (UTC)
Curious, how accurate is this show? Is it so blatantly inaccurate that I wouldn't be able to watch it or can I suspend disbelief?
klutzy_girl 22nd-Sep-2012 06:41 pm (UTC)
There are some inaccuracies, but I've seen real army wives say they can look past them. Well, some of them do anyway.
