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?

THey need to bring this back or do a series finale or movie. Too many clif hangers on it to just drop our jaws and leave it hanging forever. I will be putting a ban on my tv to block out ABC if this is not brought back.
IM 13 AND I LOVED THAT SHOW.BUT IM MADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD?
This was my favorite show! All week I looked forward to Sunday just to see it. Were you really canceling it???
I hate that this show has been cancelled!!! I was looking forward to the next season. My husband and I really enjoyed it.
Once again a good show gets cancelled but the crap is still on. On Sunday, I turned the tv on to watch The Gates and turned it off when it was over. Outside of a few other shows, I don’t even bother to watch tv anymore because of this very reason.
I agree with Army Family, don’t cancel V or Castle. Now these two shows will be the only reason I watch ABC.
The show was really a good series. It was differnet and creative. I loved every second of it and is truelly shocked that it was cancelled. It’s real shame…
Man, I hate this! I can’t believe ABC won’t even try to save this great show! They should have moved the time slot.
Loved this show! Totally disappointed that it’s gone! 🙁
THAT IS SO NOT FAIR I REALLY WANTED TO KNOW WHAT DID THE WITCH DO TO THE BOY I THINK THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE CANCALLED IT I REALLY LIKED THE SHOW AND I WAS LOOKING FORWARD FOR THE SECOND SEASON 🙁
I am totally disapointed that this show was canceled. It was the best ever and the “whole crew” was great with the everyday living, no one was even boring. *I was on the edge of my seat every time & could not wait til the following Sunday night. It might need to be moved to another night and needed a little more advertisement but it was the Best!! I was falling for Luke M. as he is so darn sexy and British,yum! Please find a way to bring it back, the whole cast, I will miss them dearly… Frustrated in… Read more »
It would have been nice to see how everything ends… in a better lighting than where it did end. If you can’t bring back the show it would be nice to have a follow up season finale or even a movie that sums up the story for The Gates.
Please don”t cancel this show!! I too was waiting for what was going to happen next. The actors were great. I’m sure this show would have taken off if given the chance.
I loved this show. Much better than vampire diaries. Come on put it back!!!!
OMG ABC!!!! This is one of your BEST shows ever!!! This show has the potential to be great!! We fell in love with it on our Honeymoon!! Change it to Tuesdays or something, that’s a boring night for tv. The last few episodes were so exciting and we have been waiting on season 2. Can we sign a petition or something? I watched this with Dexter, now I have to find something else. This sucks! Look at all the Twighlight fans out there! You just need to promote it more. I hadn’t even heard of it until we stumpled on… Read more »
That just sucks….I got totally hooked and now the series is cancelled….
