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?

Brilliant brilliant brilliant show. Please consider making another season, this is the best show ever
We are very disapointed that the show was cancelled was really looking forward to finding out what happened next. We are both very into these types of shows and didnt even realize it was airing. We dont think that it was advertised propperly to get the viewers attention and are sorry it was cancelled.
Watched this show on tv and then on netflix i am sooooo sad that is is cancelled. Charlie’s character could have been awesome! Seriously one of favorite shows! Very very upset! 🙁
I’m still waiting for more Gates!!It was one of the BEST shows I have ever watched. It deserves to be continued!!!
This makes me so mad I loved this show they need to bring it back on! I hate when this happens I get into a show and then this happens, I am mad!
I DEFINATELY WANT MORE OF THE GATES! IT WAS A VERY INTRIGUING SHOW AND I THINK ITS ONLY FAIR TO HAVE A SEASON TWO FOR ALL THE GREAT FANS AND CAST! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE ANOTHER SEASON!
I am really upset to see that they are not going to have a second season. This is one of my favorite shows on T.V. They should at least put on one more season so all the fans out there are not left hanging. PLEASE WILL SOMEONE OUT THERE PICK THIS UP AND START A SECOND SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am unhappy to here that the show wont have a season two. It was left with a cliff hanger that I was waiting to see what happens next. Hopefully there mind would change and come back and do season two.
I agree that someone should pick this show up! Hey HBO Pick this show up please!!!!!! 🙂
I loved this show! I hate that it will not be back!
They cancel all the good shows!!!! Why don’t you ask the fans who like it first!!!!
One of the best shows ever!
I am devastated this will not continue. It was a really fantastic series that really deserved alot more than it got. can somebody PLSSSSSSSSSSSSS pick this up and continue it?
