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 get cancelling a good show if the ratings aren’t there but why leave the rest of us who truly looked forward to a second season (or more), hanging? I think a series finale tying up all loose ends is appropriate but of course, that will never happen!
it totally sucks that there is no season 2. i would have loved to see it. every episode left me wanting more and the last one for sure made me want more. wish there was a season 2.
I am deeply depressed and angered if they have decided to cancel this great new show. The Gates was by far one of if not the best new show I have ever seen. To finally have come out with a good appropriate and well made show was a great relief to me after just finding it a few weeks ago. I would hope they decide to keep this show on the air.
I really loved this show last year and I don’t watch a whole lot of tv programs. It sucks it’s not coming back. The show didn’t have san ending. Just left us hanging
why now? when it was just getting to the goo parts. This is not fair.
Yes. Just watch Season 1 on netflix. This sucks. I want to see more.
Oh I hate it! This show was awesome! It seems every great show its been canceled! Flash Forward and HEROES and now this one… worst is that they all got cancelled with no resolution so we are out in a cliffhanger….
I’ve about had it with ABC–All My Children, One Life to Live, The Gates…
Why is it that good programs like these are constantely canceled and yet they keep putting on those rediculous so called reality shows……really what is tv coming too.
Very sad. There is not very many series that I watch other than on HBO. I felt that The Gates was up there with that quality show. Sorry it won’t be back.
We just finished watching the gates on Netflix and we loved it. We were hooked. I am so upset with ABC!! Everytime they have a good show going they stop it before the second season starts up. So frustrated with them. This was a great serious and had wonderful actors. Thanks ABC for not letting us down. We can count on you to stop a season before it can even get started!!!
this sucks. i really loved the gates. it was awesome
I am just finding out ‘The Gates’ has been canceled. I enjoyed watching this show with sexy Vampires and Werewolves. I was looking forward to a second season of the show seeing those hot sexy male Vampires and Werewolves. Now that HBO’s ‘True Blood’ is back on, I’m happy. One of ‘The Gates’ stars is now a character and possibly a werewolf on MTV’s ‘Teen Wolf”.
I really loved The Gates! I was not really into all the vampire hype but The Gates was different. I am truly sorry to learn that it is not coming back for another season.
it’s totally sucks when there no season 2…i love this series..
