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?

I don’t watch much tv and was just getting online to see find out when season premeire was to air. To my surprise, it’s cancelled. Gee, totally disappointed!!! I really liked this show. It really stinks that it is cancelled!!!! Dern.
i cant believe this show is canceled i was hoping to see season 2 and all the the other ones you cant judge a show by one season.
I just found out that the series won´t return. I loved it. It was a kind of supernatural “desperate housewives” with much better dialogues. I am really sad. Why do they have to cancel all the good stuff????
please do something because so many people love that show.
I love this show! You can’t not do a second season especially how it ended and if there won’t be a second season there has to be books or something!! ),:
I loved the gates and am so bummed that it has
Been cancelled. I hate that they get you hooked
And then just cancel shows. ABC has dine this
Alot and it’s extremely frustrating!!!!!!!
The Gates was a great show!! Great cast and great storyline. ABC should get rid of Wipeout and keep the Gates. Sick and tired of all the reality shows. Very disappointed if it was cancelled.
Unbelievable! Networks keep pumping out reality crap that apparently dumb Americans can’t get enough of and when we finally get some decent programming for the rest of us it gets slammed!!!!!!!
100% agreed reality tv is over so sick of it and the fake people they cast
i’m 60 years old and the last good series i watched was buffy…….. didn’t know about it because i don’t watch too much tv but i would have been right in front for season 2……..abc u suck for cancelling this great series.
thats soo retarded i just found out there isnt a season 2 seems like to me all the awesome shows get canceled :/
I just got around watching the gates on Netflix and I’m so sad that there is no season 2. I tought the show is very well written and produced. very entertaining. Please bring back the gates….:(
I think a reason it didn’t have as much viewers was because it was on a bad night. I tried to watch it but I was watching other shows. But now I’m watching it on netflix and I’m bummed there won’t be a second.
I HATE how there won’t be a second season!!!!!!!!!! I love the show and I’m tired of all of my favorite shows being cancelled because of not enough viewers!!!!!!gahhhh, I’m MAD!!!!!
I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS SO FRUSTRATING!!!!!!
The gates was amazing the cast was awesome! Storyline was amazing and of course short lived ABC u suck
OMG I just found out that Gates won’t be returning. I don’t watch a lot of television but I made sure I was sitting down 5 minutes before it started because I didn’t want to miss 1 minute of it, How can you judge a show by 1 season? It could of been on the wrong night or something. It couldn’t of been because of the charecters ,because every single one of them were great. I can’t believe the powers to be left all of us hanging, thats got to be the meanest thing ever. Please consider trying it for… Read more »
