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 want The Gates back
My and I caught the show from the very beggining and we loved it from the start. It was sad to hear that the show will not return and that it was leaving us the unresolved ending that it left us with. I hope someday it returns right where it left off although it would not be the same without the same actors. I’m tired of all these networks starting all these new series and ending them the way they do….unresolved.
P.S.-
Is Colton Haynes on Teen Wolf? Mega fan of him.
Gates Watcher » Yes he is and says he’s okay with not being the one in the werewolf makeup.
Man, that sucks, I was waiting all year to watch the 2nd season. I went to go see when the next season started and BAM!!! Its been cancelled, WTH!!!,I love The Gates, Wish someone would put it back on air.
I was looking for something good one night on Netflix and stumbled across this show. My daughter and I love(d) it. I was very disappointed when I went to the net to find out when the next season was coming out and… well you know the rest of the story. I must admit I’d never heard of this show, ever. I never saw any commercial ads for it, which leads me to believe there was a problem with something else and the show paid the price. I would like to see another station pick it up but I realize it’s… Read more »
Why not go to a cable channel? I am so disappointed the show was cancelled. If they can put on Teen Wolf (Ugh) I know The Gates can come back.
You people on ABC have Canceled Stuff FOR THE LAST TIME!!!!!! I loved the show and you took it away as usal!! I dammand the you put that back on NOW!!!!!! Is every one with me???
I am with you Cleoa, this show is great, I am watching the last episode on netflix right now and didn’t even know of it’s existence. I AM PISSED!
this is just not right. I feel in love with this series…theres so many questions unansweredd!!!…..its a crimmeeeee to leave us hanging like that..! stupid people!
Just finished the series on Netflix and I am so not happy to see it end… I agree that some other network needs to pick it up and do way more advertising! I had never even heard of it before netflix.. That’s not cool. Just like Eastwick… Both bomb shows that should still be going on.
WOW sums it up in one word!!! I loved this SHOW. I saw all the shows back to back in one evening on netflix (good for them). I went straight to the computer to see when the next show would air and what a huge let down. No More WHAT !!??!! I need this Fitz, I’m addicted, in one night. And now I’m mad as he#*!! Why would they cancel this show but keep other crap on the air. This show have great drama, suspense, intrigue and and a great plot. The houses were all of that and some, just… Read more »
What was it NOT enough sex for the exSEXcutives (executive)s !!! FIRE the person responsible for the poor advertising, I didn’t even know about this show???? SINCERLY A FAN OF THE GATES
I am super sad that there are no conclusions to any of the stories. I defended the date and time of the show every week.
I ask you what is the point of watching
new shows anymore, Everything made
is bound to be cancelled these
days…why dont you try and improve on things
instead of starting a new everytime, its only
a matter of time before we the public stop watching
all together afterall no-one likes half a story…am i right!
So true! I really enjoyed the show while it lasted! Smdh! Oh well! I’m into Teen Wolf now anyway! He he! 😀
sad to see it go, i also just watched it on netflix, watched it all in one night. i do understand abc’s choice looking over comments it seems a large portion of angry fans started watching after it was already ax’d. I had never heard of the show before i stumbled across it on netflix it was a great show i think it was just poorly publicized, the show shouldn’t have been canceled the person responsible for their add campaign should be fired. oh well good luck to the cast and crew looking forward to seeing what you guys do… Read more »
Just watched “The Gates” on Netflex for the first time, had a good rating, I am really disappointed that I didn’t know about this show. This series good have been really good for ABC so sad who decided to pull this program not smart. Would have enjoyed seeing a conclusion to all these situations. Someone does not know what is good.
Same feelings I first saw “The Gates” on Netflex and it is a shame they cancelled this show I feel this show is a big hit and ABC is Crazy for cancelling this program. I never heard of the show or even advertisments about but this was very interesting and entertaing. ABC needs to rethink good shows that would keep good ratings for them. Someone was right and TNT or Syfy should pick this up.
