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?

Please bring it back…..
I got on the Gates train a bit late… have been enjoying the season on Netflix and it’s the most realistic show about other races that I have seen. Fun! Witty and edgy! Love it!
Completely insane ABC gets a show worth watching, and then end it in such a “Las Vegas” style ending. For those of you who don’t know that’s another show that was cancelled and left all of its fans going “But what happen”. So you don’t want to do a season 2, fine,( however still a bad call) at least have do the fans the favor of doing one two hour movie to wrap up all the numerous loose ends you left. You have a show with interesting characters, ones that draw you in and you want to watch, Did you… Read more »
WTF They keep the 90210 verion of vampire shows and kill the only good one. ABC PLEASE if anyone has sense in the buildibng bring the gates back .
I would like to see The Gate come back again. I was looking for it and couldn’t fine it. the someone told me it was canceled. Why not cancel some of the dome comic shows that you air.
Another bad choice in cancelling this show.
Cancelled in October, but it took me this long to figure it out. I just kept waiting for it to come back on! I even saved the last ep on my DVR so I could watch it again before the season premier. I will miss this show! It was different and clever 🙁
Thats not cool at all, I was so into the show I watched the first season in 2 days! ABC cant leave the audiance hanging like that. What happens to Charlie? Where does Andy end up? Do they end up moving after all? so many questions left unanswered…Well all I can say is that ABC just lost a viewer.
I never knew this show existed until I found season 1 on NetFlix. My wife & I watched & were enthralled with the story line & character development. After watching the final episode of the pilot season, we excitedly “Googled” more information on the upcoming season. To our dismay, the show was killed & didn’t even warrant a resurrection such as Charlie received. It’s hard to believe that a show this captivating & unique wouldn’t have had the following to warrant a second season with all the horrible programming flooding our television sets and a lot of it coming to… Read more »
I am shocked that The Gates isn’t returning this season, it was an interesting show!! ABC should reconsider their decision about this show.

I Totally Agree It Sucks That My Favorite Show Has Been Cancelled Very Disappointed In ABC….
