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?

This makes me very mad that they would cancel such a great show:(
BRING IT BACK…AND STARTED WHERE IT LEFT OFF……ABC YOU MADE A MISTAKE CANCELLING THIS ONE….I CAN THINK OF MANY OTHER MORE DESERVING OF CANCELLATION BUT NOT THIS ONE…..
The Gates was an amazing show!!! I can’t believe it’s not coming back, with all the vamp fans out there it really should. Plus they really can’t leave it ending like that, its very unfair to the fans 🙁
I agree, each time I find a show I enjoy.. some idiot cancels it. I call ********! Bring back The Gates!
check out teen wolf, only thing missing is the hearse from the cartoon years and years ago
Just watched the entire series on NetFlix. I had never even heard of the show. An excellent show. Too bad ABC didnt give it more of a chance.
So pissed right now! waited the whole winter with that last show lingering in my mind f
or it all to be over….ughhhhh
this was actually one of the better supernatural tv shows that i actually like… i was really looking forward to a second season this just made my me have a bad day… BooooOOOooo!!! bring it back!!!!!
Seriously? We watched the entire thing in like 4 evenings (2-3 episodes per night after the kids go to bed) and loved it. I even got my hubby loving it. I can’t believe we don’t get closure or anything! This was a slow starting series but by the end I couldn’t wait to see the characters. You guys need to seriously rethink the cancellation.
I loved the gates. Too bad there it was cancelled:( bummer
I really loved the series… Such a waste to cancel it… Im a filmmaker, lets get some money and make it ourselves guys!!!!
Wow how terrible that this great supernatural show with all of our favorite beyond belief roles (vampires, wolf-men and women, witches, succubus and sooo many more of our fairytale frights) are canceled. Now we have Being Human! Ok so it’s not a bad show but wow the gates had a fabulous storyline! It’s a great treat to see our favorite characters struggle with just trying to survive. Isn’t this why allot of Si-fi channel was created to give life to movies and shows such as Dr. Who and Blade and children’s channels give way to safe si-fi such as The… Read more »

THIS SUCKS BIG TIME!!! I’ve been patiently waiting but got suspicious when I saw no promos, so I decided to nose around the internet and what do you know, some idiot canceled the show! HELLO I’ve only been waiting all winter to find out what happens next! Instead we have yet another show about doctors which is really just pushing it further OVERBOARD!!! It’s enough already ABC! I personally can not live without Grey’s Anatomy and by default The Practice but that’s more than enough! It’s time to let the Doctor’s in stress concept go and move on! And here… Read more »
