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?

Found on Netflix, barely remember hearing about the show on ABC, would definately have watched it had it been better advertised.
Excellent acting, directing, great scripts, romantic interest, supernatural interest — not the show’s concept, cast, or crew responsible for one-season run.
My whole family loved the show and we are all very mad that the show has been canceled u gave it only one season sometimes it takes 2 seasons to really get noticed u guys gave up.the show would have been a big hit
I really could nto believe this seies to be cancelled. Great acters/resses…all the crappy series they still have showing and this one didnt make the cut? I have spent the whole day watching the first season…It really ticks me off that another season is not being created as I write this.
Please, bring it back….I have to know what is happening and what is going to happen…….So, unfair.
My son and I thought it was better than some of the shows that have been running for a few years. Sad when they finally have a show that should go forward and they cancel it.
Couldn’t SciFi at least do a Gates movie that would give us an ending???????
I had no idea that “The Gates” even existed. I just recently watched the show on Netflix and I was addicted instantly. I am extremely upset that the show has been cancelled before it ever had the chance to become phenomenal.
Cancelled TV shovw it must be on ABC the place not to be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just found this on netflix – great show – fun story-line – outstanding character development and interaction. Sad to find out it ended so soon. Actually, I don’t even remember hearing or seeing any advertisement for this show… it’s right up my alley and I know I would have watched it when it aired if I had known about it….Sigh
although i heard initially that the gates is not as good as vampire diaries and other popular dramas, i did watch every episode and i must say it is better than i expected despite what the critics and reviews say. i enjoy every episode of it and i sincerely hope that there will be a comeback for season 2 as the last episode was a cliff hanger!
******* abc death to reality bull sh it
I found this show on netflix. i rarely see a mixture of vampires, werewolves, and deffinently no succubus or any of the others. i love this show and really wish there was a season two and continuous. ive told my friends about it and hopefully they’ll start watching. Vampire Diaries…ehhh..i couldnt sit through two seconds of it. Think about more seasons again. More fans are discovering this. i did. I love this show and really wish there were more to watch.
So we’re keeping effing giant knockoff and piece of cinematic garbage Vampire Diaries on the air but not a creative and fantastically branching show like The Gates??
I love supernatural tv series and the gates its one of the best tv series that I have seen I was very. Sad and the and mad at the same time to know that it won’t be a second. Season please. Please we would love to see the second. Season
The gates was the best show. Can we all write to someone and maybe they will bring it back.
Just watched the first season neber knew that there was a show called the gates out on tv. If i would have to choose between the gates and desperate house wives, or vampire diaries i would have to vote for the gates, that tv series cannot end like that i would love to see this series go further and make it big like so many before it.
