Lifetime has announced the premiere date of season four of Army Wives.

Cable's number-one rated drama among women ages 18-49 will return this spring. Look for it to debut on April 11 at 10 p.m

"Next season of Army Wives promises to be one of its best ever and we are very excited to bring it back to Lifetime's viewers in April," said JoAnn Alfano, Executive Vice President, Entertainment, of Lifetime Networks.  "Scheduling Army Wives' return for the spring falls in line with our strategy to provide our audience with a steady stream of original programming year-round."

The drama follows a group of families residing on an active army base and is the most successful series (by far) in Lifetime's 25-year history.

Its third season was the highest-rated season yet for the show, which stars Kim Delaney, Sally Pressman, Brigid Brannagh, Brian McNamara, Sterling K. Brown, Wendy Davis, Drew Fuller, Terry Serpico, Katelyn Pippy and Catherine Bell.
