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’m also upset that they cancelled the show. I just finished watching it on Netflix and it was so intriguing I think it’s sad when they cancel the good shows and leave the tacky and boring ones on.
What a horrible show. jumping on the vampire bandwagon with garbage writing. what did you expect?
So wish “The Gates” were still on….it was a great show! Why do all the good shows get cancelled…..it is a shame that another network didn’t pick this up and go further with it. Gonna miss this shoe a lot!
it was good…really liked it….please give us a season 2…..it didnt end well
My husband and I are sad to hear the” Gates” will not have a second season. We loved the whole set,and the actors, “Gates” brought a true meaning to the communities “vamps live with in “
i just finished watching the show on netflix. That show was very interesting && GOOD!! I just found out that there canceling it right now && that sucks 🙁 They need to make another seoson!!!
sooooooo disapointed The Gates was canceled. I really wanted to know about what happened with Charlie and Devon. Plus I loved the hot vampire Dylan. Would definitly want to see more of him….. and all of those delicious high school boys in the wolf pack.
I also just finished The Gates on netflix and am incredibly sad that there is only one season. What a wonderful cliff hanger at the end and finally a little character development for Charlie. gosh…who the hell would cancel such a good show
gutted the show has been cancelled! we were just getting to know all the really interesting characters – it had the potential to be awesome!!
I loved the show! I’d never heard of it until netflix so if anything in the ratings was down, it has to be only because of poor advertisement because the show was amazing. I watched all of season one in under a week because I just couldn’t wait to see what would happen. I was extremely disappointed to hear that there was no season 2 when I tried to look it up and find out when to watch. Please bring it back!
I hate that they took ‘The Gates” off the line up for a new season. It was one of the most interesting shows on TV. I abandoned the shows that I regularly watched just for ‘The Gates”. Please Bring it back. Don’t leave me hangin’ like this!
really? that was a really good show. it sucked u right in! what happens next?? come on u need to make at least one more season for closure!
I’m extremely upset that there will be no season two. I also just watched the entire first season on Netflix and REALLY wanted to find out what was going on with Charlie and what Devon had done to him :(((((((((((((( My family and I are dissapointed and were at least expecting an explaination :((((
I’m actually pretty disappointed that the show is being cancelled. For one, I loved the show. For two, I couldn’t wait to see it every week. For three, the other great television show that was cancelled called New Moon. That was cancelled the season before that… All the good television shows keep getting cancelled!
Wow I just finished watching the whole season on netflix…and I want more…. 🙁
