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 was a great off-season show!! It had such potential and it is a shame that ABC did not provide this series and great cast the opportunity to prove it.
Please make a second series, we have no really good show like this in the Uk and i thought this was brilliant, I want to know what happend to nick:(
bring it back, watched season 1 on neflix ,it was great. I didn’t even know it was on tv and now I’m hooked,do better promoting on show and it would’nt have been cancelled.
Bring it back!!!!!! ABC go to hell
So So So sad this show is not on air anymore!!! I was waiting for the next season so bad!!! I know of some shows that should be off the air but The Gates is def not one of them!!!! SMH!!! Bring it back!!!
I really hate to hear that this show was cancelled. I absolutely loved it!!!!! There is not awhole lot of good t.v. on these days and then they put something on that I actually look forward to watching and it get’s the boot. I AM SO MAD!!!!!!! I hope they will allow it to come back on some day. I give it 3 thumbs up….
I just finished the first season of The Gates,just to find out that there will be no season 2!!
Great show!!! I really want to know what happens next. Ohh well, I only have myself to blame for not helping the ratings by watching, when the first season was playing. Thanks for a great first and only season anyway…
Loved the show! Big Rhona Mitra Fan!! She is gorgeous and an awesome actress!! Discovered the show while looking up her filmography. Started watching it on Netflix and am totally peeved to hear there wont be a second season!! I hope they come to their senses and realize what a great show this is and reconsider their decision. I want more more more!!!
I just don’t understand why this tremendously entertaining series has been cancelled. It is one of the best series on TV today. I rate this just as thrilling as the Twilight Saga, True Blood, Being Human and Harry Potter. The writer’s couldn’t have done a better job. Held my attention & couldn’t wait every week for the next storyline. So sad and so perplexing. I just don’t get it.
I hope writer, Richard Hatem, will produce a series of books on the series
as many of his fans and fans of the TV series would certainly buy the editions.
I enjoyed the cast and theme of this series very much and was looking forward
to season 2.
It suxs that they will not be back for Season Two. I loved this show. We did not hear about it when it was on TV but discovered it on Netflix. I would have loved to see what happened next.
Liked the show… sorry to see it go…
So mad the gates isn’t coming back. I just started watching it on netflix and has been my obsession for the past week. ABC definitely sucks for cancelling one of the best shows out there
Same here… been soo hooked on it on netflix
this show need to return. I am upset that we are left in the dark on the gates. If you can bring to national network please provide it on cable network. This show deserve to be seen. Its a great show. Please return the gates.
Really one of the best shows I’ve seen, besides True Blood. Now I find out that tere is not going to be a season 2. WHYYYYYY??? ABC should be ashamed!!
