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 damn good show. If they were going to cancel it they should have did it mid season. Why wait? ABC is really missing out. This would have attracted many more viewers.
Great show! Very disappointed that it won’t be back! Definitely looked forward to season 2. Hopefully, this is all just a publicity stunt and it really is coming back after all…. ? Definitely, think it could’ve done well in a better TV spot. C’est la vie…
Oh no! I love the Gates. It was just really really getting great. It was so very different for a change and my husband and I looked forward to watching it – don’t cancel. Bring it back!
I seriously don’t know why they just make a show,make it interesting and then just as it gets most interesting they simply end the season and announce there’s not going to be a next one.The storyline was great,but we had just gotten to know the characters and everyone had gotten out of the dark,humans being aware of the vampires and all-BOOM season over.If they weren’t going to make a second seaso, they should’ve at least made the first one a few episodes longer-wouldn’t have been a perfect end,but there would’ve at least BEEN one…
They need to keep this show on the air! I want to know what happens to charlie since he came back with supernatural powers. Don’t leave us hanging like this!!!
I don’t understand why they make shows that people get interested in then the just cancel them. The show was slow to start off with, but it picked up and i waited every sunday just to watch. I want a second season!!!
I loved this show. I can’t believe it won’t be back. With all the trash on TV and we get something this good and poof!! Doesn’t make sense to me at all…..
As a military wife overseas, we have crappy TV…this was the one good show that I looked forward to watching every week…this show was awesome and had a great number of followers even in international waters, so why would you take it away…..so I must say with as much sarcasm as possible…JOB WELL DONE.
i want “The Gates” back….
THis is horrible I really loved this show with my whole heart! I want a second season!! Please!!!
I am shocked that this show has been pulled. Finally, a really different show, artsy and smart, with devilish humor on the side! What will we replace our Sunday Nights with that can top the Gates?
I cannot believe you pulled the show off the air, this was a very good show and what can you expect it was on Sunday nights, for god sake, This should have been on Thursday nights right after Vampire Diaries that way you would get a full 2 hours of great T.V.
All the other crap thats on we finally started getting back to shows that people can talk about next to the water cooler……very dissapointing!
give it a chance,some shows are slow to catch on, i believe this will be one show that will prove to be a no. 1 hit
The gates was a wonderful series. Slow start but it picked up a lot somewhere. Love the radcliffe’s. Especially the wife! Now thats what we call a vampire with class. 🙁 sad it couldn’t continue.
Noooo! why?? i want a 2 season!! i don’t believe that! it’s a fantastic serie! i telefilm di merda li fanno continuare per venti stagioni e questo che era una figata pazzesca lo tolgono? e proprio sul piu bello con ancora un sacco di storia da sviluppare! **** **** ****
