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?

Please renew the Gates. It was by far my FAVORITE show. I watch all the like, Supernatural, Lost Girl, Teen Wolf, Vampire Diaries, Haven, etc……..The Gates ROCKED……Please bring it back!!!!
Bring back the Gates ABC!
I recently watched the Gates on netflixs and fell in love please bring the gates back for a season 2 it will do great this time around because more people have heard of it. It was a show before it time that all!!!!!!
Another show I really enjoyed. Canceled! Would love to see this one continue. I waited all year for 2 shows I really liked and both canceled. Nothing on tv to watch in the summer and for this show to get canceled is really a let down.
I am disappointed that this show was cancelled. My wife and I watched it religiously and we were looking forward to another season. We too felt that in a time when reality shows are all that’s on TV, the Gates was about the only scripted TV show that we watched and actually enjoyed. It was a nice break from “reality”.
Very Sad that the Gates is not coming back!!! My husband and I just watched Season 1 back to back on Netflix and were dying to see Season 2…much to our dismay, we learned it was cancelled:( Very sad indeed. Bring it back please!!!
i loved the gates…it was better than true blood ,,,and i like true blood..i felt that it was one of the better shows on network tv…i am very dissapointed….kevin
I stumbled on season one on Netflix and I’m hooked! Now I’m devastated to learn there will be no season two! OMG! Don’t leave us hanging like this!
I loved this show! This was actually one show that I never missed an episode, and if I did you better believe I was looking for it on the internet or for the 2nd airing on TV. I enjoyed it and I like the supernatural efffects of the vampires.
I liked it since TV is so flooded with reality Tv shows…bah humbug!
I am so disappointed that The Gates was cancelled. I have been looking all over 6ABC to see what date and time it would be starting. How can I help to bring back my show. This was my summer time show for Sunday watching. Let’s start a petition and send to ABC to bring the show back. Or if there is a petition where can I go to sign it……
I was so looking forward to watching this show again. ABC has really made a mistake with the decision to cancel the show.
This was the only ABC show that really held my attention. Although I’m normally engaged by shows based on the supernatural, this show had that special something…perhaps the slow unraveling of the plot or the uniquely attractive characters made it for me, but regardless, The Gates….you will be missed!
P.S. Just to reiterate, ABC you so dropped the ball on this, I say another network buys the rights to produce the show and start to air ASAP.
Me and my husband were in love with this episodes and we are disappointed that ABC cancelled the show. I hope ABC may consider a new season of the gates.
This show was slow to unfold but once it did it had you hooked. I am definitely disappointed with ABC. There are very few shows that I watch on that channel, actually only one. I have a hard time watching a show from beginning to end and this show succeeded at keeping my attention. GO GATES! PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!
I am so sad. I really miss The Gates!
This show was slow to unfold but once it did you were hooked! I’m not a big fan of the whole vampire craze but I really got into this show and I’m definitely going to miss it. It takes a lot for me to actually sit down and watch a show from beginning to end but this show really had it “going on”.
