After recently renewed for its second season, THE GLADES follows Jim Longworth (Matt Passmore), an attractive, brilliant, yet hard to get along with homicide detective from Chicago who gets shot by his captain after being wrongfully accused of sleeping with his wife. After being exiled from the department, Longworth relocates to the sleepy, middle of nowhere town of Palm Glade, Florida, where the sunshine and golf are plentiful and crime is seemingly at a minimum. Only this town outside the Florida Everglades isn’t quite as idyllic as he thought, as he finds people keep turning up murdered. Each case pulls Longworth off the golf course and reluctantly into his element as one of the sharpest homicide detectives to wear a badge.
Between practicing his short game, trying to get a date with Callie (Kiele Sanchez) – a quick-witted, beautiful medical student with a 12 year-old son and a husband in prison – and trying to solve countless homicide cases, Longworth’s transition to his new surroundings is a bit more difficult than expected. He’s realizing the skies in this new town are always sunny…with a chance of homicide.

If you haven’t yet tuned into this up and coming cop drama starring Matt Passmore (Jim Longworth) and Kiele Sanchez (Callie Cargill) now is the time to play catch up. The new season is set to premiere on Sunday June 5 at 10/9C on A&E.
Jim is an overly persistent homicide detective with some serious crime solving intuition. He was unexpectedly relocated to Florida after his captain in Chicago shot him and accused him of sleeping with his wife. Callie is a nurse, med school student, and totally devoted mother to 12 yr old Jeff with a husband in prison. When last we saw these two things were just starting to get interesting in their are they or aren’t they romance. After a night together long anticipated by fans of the show the happy bubble was burst with a phone call from Callie’s incarcerated husband, Ray, announcing his early release from prison. Where does this leave Jim and Callie? Well only time and this upcoming season will tell. Add into the mix Jim’s ever present wisecracking, love of golf, and his comedic relationship with partner and medical examiner Carlos Sanchez (Carlos Gomez) you’ve got a quickly emerging cable hit on your hands.
What do we have to look forward to in season two? In a “What’s New in Season 2” video posted on A&E’s official site Matt Passmore states that “the action is ramped up a bit…the stakes have definitely become higher, the danger is more immediate.” Jordan Wall, who plays 23 yr. old Daniel Green, sums it up nicely by saying “We’re throwing some jalapeños into ‘The Glades’ burrito.” In the official season two trailer executive producer Gary A. Randall promises “We’re making it a little edgier, we’re giving Jim slightly more complex criminals to go up against.” All in all sounds promising. Share

Kiele Sanchez, The Glades
Following rave reviews in the US and starring Australia’s own Matt Passmore (Underbelly, McLeod’s Daughters), W channel delivers the red hot drama The Glades for summer. Jim Longworth (Passmore) is an attractive, brilliant, yet hard-to-get-along-with homicide detective from Chicago who is forced into exile after being wrongfully accused of sleeping with his former captain’s wife. Using the payout he received from the Chicago PD, Longworth searches for the simple life and moves to the sleepy resort town of Palm Glade, Florida, joining the local bureau of the state police figuring it’ll be an easy piece of time. Longworth prefers to work his cases alone and sharing his theories with other detectives only serves to annoy him. But despite his cocky, annoying self-confidence, people put up with him because he’s too charming to ignore, and damned good at solving murders. Also stars Kiele Sanchez as Callie Cargill, Carlos Gomez as Carlos Sanchez and Michelle Hurd as Colleen Manus. Ep 7. Cassadaga. A psychic advisor is murdered in the eerie town of Cassadaga, founded over 100 years ago by mediums and psychics; a former medium helps Longworth in his investigation, but spooks him slightly when she warns him that someone close to him is about to die; meanwhile, Callie’s friend Heather invites Longworth to be her date at a party for Callie’s medical school. Guest starring Australian Rachael Carpani as Heather.
