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 stinks they never give good series a chance just because it doesn’t catch on immediatly doesn’t mean it won’t be a success very successful eventually. Seriously it is like FOX did with Firefly a lot of people did know about it till after they canceled it.
loved this show – just watched it for the first time on netflix…..is there anyway it could be brought back on another network?
OMG. for god sake please continue with the Season 2 puhleaseee!
I just got through watching The Gates on netflix and I’m very disappointed. BRING THE SHOW BACK. Left way too too many cliffhangers. BRING IT BACCCCCCCCK !!!!!!!!!!
Please.
I can not believe they have cancelled yet another excellent show and left it hanging. Come on guys bring it back I was just getting into it!
Really liked this show. Just found out it was cancelled.Very disappoined there won’t be a second season.
Really liked this show! Just found out it was cancelled. Very disappointed. I was looking forward to the second season.
señores de ABC , the gates es una serie buenisima. no es posible que no continue. les aseguro que somos miles los fans que queremos seguir viendo a este increible grupo de actores en cada uno de sus roles en the gates.
por favor que vuelva.
That Sucks! How about canceling some of those dumb reality shows and put a second season of The Gates, and while their at it a second season of Detroit 187 also. Every time the is a decent show on, it gets cancelled. Yet theres always another comedy or reality show. Come on people aren’t you smarter then that?
Very disappointed that ABC has cancelled The Gates. It was a great show and I was so hooked. They need to bring it back and just advertise it better than they did during the first season.
Okay seriously you gotta have a season 2, episode 13 is such a huge cliff hanger that its killin me. I gotta know what happens to charlie, he can probly be andy now huh? Oh and the Radcliffs what happens to them, and their daughter Emily? You see WAY TOO MUCH LEFT for you to just cancel it. I’m about to buy the rights to the show and continue it myself if you don’t bring it back…….. I love The Gates!!!!!!!!!
**** ABC! i want to keep seeing dillians sexy little vampires ass
This SUCKS! I cannot believe they cancelled this show. I loved it and looked forward to Season two. BRING IT BACK!
Just finished the season on Netflix and I am very disappointed that it is over. I believe they should get the show back on the air.
F*** ABC!!! they cancel every good show like no ordinary family…..like seriously if they r gonna start something they should atleast finish it in a good way, i actually found this show on Netflix..like everybody else and am very disappointed by the writers and producers of ABC…they should just not create any new shows if thts what they gonna do to every good show………i seriously wanted to know what happened to Charlie!! and Devon, and the Vampires..what about the syco..whatever lol…too many questions left unanswered!! well i think i relished all my anger over ABC channel…
