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 really stinks…. I really loved The Gates and was looking forward to a second season. I am very disappointed. 🙁
Still waiting for second season. What the hell
I was so looking foward to the new season. SYFI should have picked it up. ABC are makeing a lot of dumb moves
I am so disappointed The Gates was cancelled. It was a fabulous show, with great actors and direction. As a Marketing Pro…the station should really try marketing outside of their own little world. There a a huge group of potential followers that weren’t touched — me included. I stumbled upon the show by accident. And how are ratings even tracked these days? I had to DVR the show – so tell me are Tivos, DVRs and the like even monitored? For Shame! Someone should buy this and run it elsewhere. MTV this is a better investment than Teen Wolf by… Read more »
Very upset, just found out series was canceled! Was looking forward to new season…terrible for ABC to cancel a show and leave us all hanging onto the clliffhanger! Could have at least gave us an ending….BS!!!!
Enjoyed the gates, great story line & acting, hated to see you go. After finding it on netflix I was first a lil skeptical but after a couple of episodes I was locked in, and what a relief it was to watch it commercial free, but I just don’t understand how you end a show right at a seemingly climax. I know that next episode would had been explosive. My favorite character was Devon. evil, beautiful, & mysterious, but hands down, absolutely hot…hot…hot…
Well it figures. In 3 days via netflix, i watched the entire season. Fell in love with it only to search it out via google to find out it was cancelled. There are so many lame shows on tv and the people that decide what we want to watch took off a good show. Why can’t the syfy channel or maybe tnt step in? 🙁
I’m a teen who hates all of this vampire diaries and twighlight bull $hit but who finds the gates extremely enjoyable. I can’t believe those ABC di cks! Die ******* e r s die!
I watched it loved it and am now crying still that it is gone! I freaking loved that show! It kicked a$$!
The gates was an excellent series the first season was awesome. I don’t understand why they canceled it and they are not making a season 2. I would have loved to see what Charlie was going to do know that he’s not human. I would hve also loved to see andie come back and hopefully help Charlie with his new I guess u can say demon side.
i neva watched the gates on tv but found it on netflix… i was upset and outraged that they cancelled the series. it was a great series and i wanted to know what happened with charlie and andy, with clair and her sexy hubby dylon. i wanted the evil devon to get torn apart by the vamps. this is complete bull!!! ABC you officially suck!!
I am very sorry for the season 2 will not record, I sincerely hope that I will soon hear news that will surprise me. I watched it a lot lately but nothing of me left no impression as The Gates!
i think they made a big mistake canceling the show. it was great and unique i have never been so enthralled in a series. i wish it wouldnt have been canceled it could have been great. i am upset cuz i never even saw previews or anything for it when it first came on and now i want to see more of the show. maybe they will change there minds if they get enough positive feedback. at least thats what i hope.
I think its ridiculus that there will not be a second season of the gates. How can ABC just end it where it did.
What a shame they are not doing another season, this was a really great show. Why do they always cancel the interesting series, not giving them a chance and keep the lame predicitable ones on forever?
I am really disappointed about this!!! I could name a few that could have been taken off of ABC. My whole family really enjoyed the gates
