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 really liked the gates I was excited for the new season. I can’t believe they cancelled it should really reconsider!!!
NO WAY!!!! I love that show and so sad they won’t have second season….. Come on! Tired of reality bull crap and most good shows like this agree gone… Loved the cast, story line and everything about that show… Fantastic actors… Is there a way to bring it back?
With the new summer shows returning I decided to google about “The Gates” – only to find out it’s another good one that didn’t make it. With all those stupid shows out there, especially the ‘reality’ ones all I gotta say is – What A Shame ! This one had so many possibilities ! Too bad !!!
Total Suck. I loved this show, I’ve been waiting for season two for EVER! Crapola.
My husband and I just finished watching the first season of The Gates on netflix. We are very disappointed that there will not be a second season. We were really into the show.
bring it back.if the jersey shore is still on tv,something good like this deserves at least a second season
I loveeeeeeeee The Gates… its really the best and I think that if enough of us petition there will be a season 2. Someone should create a facebook page asking for a vote on The Gates coming back it will come back. all we have to do is invite friends
So sad it is not coming back.
I thought this show was fun! It was just getting started, it’s shame that it was cancelled!
Oh well, I look forward to seeing the actors in other projects.

Really?? thats was not fun at all……..now what ?how it ended it has to be other season .
I just want to say that i love this show and i stiill hope season 2 🙂
Watched The Gates last night on Netfix . It is so sad that this show is cancelled. If there is anyway to bring it back that would be great. I had heard of it ,but never watched it on TV. But I would have, it was great. Thank you to the actors and writers for the work done on this show.
We really like this show, it was something different and we looked forward to it… soooo disappointed that it didn’t get a second season, this stinks!
Loved this show! All of my favs gone soooo sick of netwirks
been waiting for the return nad googled to find out it’s cancelled. what a shame. I guess the world just wants to watch reality crap. There is no need for creativity in the minds of the reality viewers.
Not a big fan of that reality stuff, get enough of that in real time! haha – I hope they change their minds and do a season two.
