As expected, ABC has cancelled The Gates after one season on the air. The ratings certainly didn’t dictate a second season and a couple weeks ago, series star Frank Grillo said that he’d heard unofficially that the show wouldn’t be back.
Though even actress Lindsay Lohan wanted to see it return, it’s now been confirmed that The Gates has indeed been cancelled. Some of the people connected with the show have tweeted about the series’ passing.
From the show’s Twitter feed comes, “We would like to thank our followers for sticking with us through this great journey.”
Gates creator Richard Hatem wrote simply, “Thanks to everyone who loved it. DVD set to be released…someday?”
Consulting producer and writer Robert Hewitt Wolfe tweeted, “Thank you to #TheGates fans, crew & cast for a great run. It was a blast. Seriously some of the best fans ever.” He later posted, “4 sale, lux devlpmnt/incrprtd town w/ upscale owners, prvt police/fire, exclnt school, occasional mysterious death”
Colton L Haynes wrote, “Was a great/fun experience and thk u all for coming along for the ride!. He followed that up with, “THE GATES cast and crew: thk u all for the good times! Learned alot and had a great summer with u all! Cheers to the future!” and posted this photo with #ripBrettCreski. Wolfe responded, “Sob… Too young!”
James Preston looks forward to the future, tweeting, “No worries gates fans follow us on to our new exciting roles!” Travis Caldwell echoed that sentiment, saying, “its all good more to come from all of us !!!”
Justin Miles wrote, “We gave em a hell of a run, though…” Janina Gavankar feels similarly, saying, “Sad. But we’re incredibly proud of what we made.”
Young McKaley Miller tweeted, “thank you guys for all the support!! seriously, y’all are awesome!! #TheGates is officially over, but it was such a great experience!! TY :)”
Andrea Powell wrote, “Thanks for all the love, fans of #TheGates. We’ll miss you! :-*”
Rachel Dipillo wrote, “We had a fun ride on The Gates. Love everyone I worked with and can’t wait to see what you do next! #RIPLEXIEWADE”
Grillo tweeted, “Thanks to all of you for supporting us. It made the whole thing worth it. Lots more fun stuff coming.” Grillo also said that he’d share what would have happened in the second season. After son Charlie is saved, Nick and his family would have stayed in the Gates community. The Radcliffs decide to take a break from one another. Leigh becomes the head of the police and Nick takes over the Gates board and oversees the community.
What do you think? Are you sorry that The Gates won’t be back for season two? What would you have liked to see happen?

This was a great show. I watched it on Netflix. And went to Google it to find they have canceled it and no season two. This really sucks.
Yes I think it was a great tv show and I didn’t know there was only one season of the tv show, I was so upset when I find out there was no second season .. i wish they can do a second season. The Gate was awesome!.
this is a great show that should continue the reason ratings where low is because the channel did not raise awareness i dont even know which channel it was on i found it on Netflix and on Netflix it has a 5star ratings so raise awareness and restart would be a great hit
My mom and I loved #thegates.. we were mad to see it leave.. wish someone else would hAve picked it up..
My mom and I loved #thegates. We were so sad to see it end we still talk about it.. wish someone else would pick it up..
I cant believe that this show was cancelled. The Gates was the only show i watched on this channel. ABC’s dumb asses who canceled this show really need to find different jobs cause they suck at it when you cancel a Number One Show that was AWESOME
I can’t believe they would cancel this show. I thought it was really great. I watched first season all 13 episodes and was so disappointed it ended way that is did. Maybe can put it back on, that would be awesome. Why did it cancel, what a shame…
why was the show cancelled? the gates is more interesting than twilight but twilight wasn’t cancelled?. that’s incredible
And this is why I hate following abc, nbc cbs series…. Great series I couldn’t get enough. #1 Reason why tv networks are losing subscribers daily to netflix and other alternatives.
oh my this is so sad
great tv show hope that they pick up the slack and make season 2 it is needed urgently
Will it go to DVD I will love to see what happen I need to know what happened to the Son..
Yes Netflix series please!! I really enjoyed the show and saddened by the cancellation
Started watching it 3 days ago on netflix and i cant get enough of it! Y’all should seriously think about turning it into a “netflix original”
I didnt even know about the show till a week ago loved it making a mistake by not going on with the show
What the heck…. I need season 2!
