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?

First moonlight and now the gates?? Why do they keep taking my fav shows away?? ABC YOU SUCK! 😛
This sucks. It’s been a while since we had a good new series and now it gets cut after only 1 season. My cousin told me about this series, I didn’t even know about it. Maybe if more people were informed of good shows it could have stayed. I’m still going to miss what was going to happen.
oh come on, please bring back the gates, hello it was an awesome show and i loved it.
now what do i watch? abc you suck on cancelling good shows i hope this network goes down in stocks!!!!!!!!
I am so disappointed !!!! I was lookinq forward to seeinq the second season… I really enjoyed the first .
I found this show too late on hulu! I never watch tv on weekends– what a terrible timeslot for an amazing program. Would have loved to see the characters and story lines continue to develop. It’s hard to find a good scify show with quality acting.
ABC sucks A55 for cancelling this show. It was a Great FINALE!! Another great show that will be missed! If the V gets cancelled I am totally over the netowrk! 🙁
I had a feeling this was going to happen someone who works for that network has a vampire grudge and they must have worked for CBS too since they cancelled moonlight another fantastic show!
now I will only watch ABC for America’s Funnies Home Videos and nothing else!
i LOVED!! this show… I am so sad that they cancelled it!! What a bummer! I can honesly say that this is one show I looked forward to seeing every week. PLEASE ABC BRING MY SHOW BACK!!!!
I can’t believe ABC has cancelled this amazing show. It seems whenever I get hooked on something it gets cancelled. I can’t figure out how all that reality garbage makes it but the good ones get shot down after just one season. Networks, you need to build a following, give it time!!!
That sucks! I loved this show! Any chance syfy will pick it up? Totally bummed!
This was one of the few shows on TV with a supernatural flavor, good acting, and engaging characters that the whole family could (and might actually like to) watch together. I agree it was definitely worthy of a second season. It’ll be sorely missed.
I feel so sad that this show was pulled i loved it so much. It was the only vamp show i ever liked on t.v.. I agree with the person above who pointed out that it took awhile for a show to pick up.. I told my friends to watch it and they did and loved it like me.. They need to give it allitle more time and change the time it is on.. Sundays wernt that good for me and most americans are very busy on sunday nights getting ready for their week and sleeping
No come on ABC we wont season 2
that sucks…. that was an awesome show…. the good shows they cancel and the ones that do suck stay on for yrs…….
Well, dang! I finally get my husband to watch something on network tv and it gets axed. Perfect! I will miss my Sunday night vampire fix 🙁
