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 was just watching this when I saw it on netflick, I throught the show was exciting. These are your everyday neighboors with secerets and sometimes you are suprise what you find out about a person. great great
i love this movie and i’m waiting for the second season…….
I just finished watching Season 1 on netflix yesterday. I loved it! I thought there would be a season two. I can’t believe there isn’t! I wanted to see what happened to charlie!! It’s a shame.
I was broken hearted to hear The Gates was cancelled. It was well received by most of my co-workers and we looked forward to talking about each episode. I wish they would reconsider the cancellation………..so sad.
ITS ALWAYS THE NEW GOOD ONES THAT GET CANCELLED… So I don’t even watch anything new anymore until the 2nd season is actually on 🙁
I wish they would continue The Gates also! It was an awsome show and I made sure I was always in front of the T.V. every week to watch! I am so bummed that I don’t get to see what happens next!!
im so hurt, The gates ws rily gud..
I can’t believe that they would cancel such an awesome TV series. Why can’t they cancel those awful-in your face “reality” shows. Even my 87 yr mother loves this series and will be as disappointed as I when I tell her, it won’t be back.
I think when you start something like this you are obligated to finnish. At leats make one or two more episodes to conclude or put a propper end to the gates don’t just leave it missing gaps.
WOW! I can’t believe that ABC has cancelled one of the greatest shows on tv since “Heros” and “Flash Forward.” It amazes me how the good shows are just dismissed. While I understand how ratings currently work, DVRs should be incorporated into ratings some how…not to mention that the people who are being monitored regarding ratings, may be the minority of those who actually watched the Gates. I knew several people who watched the show and that wasn’t a coincidence. I absoluted loved the show, the plot, and the ongoing development of characters. I think ABC should give it one… Read more »
I was waitng for season two to come back on and just found out it was canceled. I’m very upset because I thought it was a good show. I think alot of these show are being canceled because there are so many different shows on tv. I wish they would continue taping season two and move it to block buster so I can buy it.
I really liked the show and would make sure my DVR was set so I never missed an episode. I was sooo looking forward to the next season to see what was in the box that everyone was protecting.
At least give the fans what ‘would have’ happened’.
I’m so bummed; I’ve been waiting through the summer for the commercials about the upcoming episodes and had no idea that the show had been cancelled. I saw the handsome vampire on a hospital show which got me wondering what was going on.
bummmer!! Thank you cast for a Great show.
Im very upset that there is only one season you really need to makes another season.also I think that tv stations shouldn’t go by tv rating anymore cause alot of pellets wait for the shows to go on netflix or dvd so u should really think about bring it back
why they take all the good shows off air this is crap gates was great show just like happy town n invasion this is crap am pissed just quit watching tv cause this is getting ******!!!
Wow!! I love “The Gates”. I was waiting for the 2nd season to begin. Please bring it back!!! We all want to know what was going to happen next. I’ve watched this series from the start, and it was really , really good. And their is other programs that should be taken off tv, BUT not The Gates. With so many fans, please consider bringing it back.
