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?

Love this show, please bring this show back,it is such a great show!! It is such a sham that a show with such a great story line has been cancelled. I put this show right up there with other great shows like Desperate Housewives. I vote for another year!!!!
I hate that the show was cancelled. I’m so hooked I wish that they would bring it back
just started watching it on netflix and was wondering when the 2nd season would air. Can’t believe it’s canceled, it seems all the tv shows I like always get canceled 🙁
I founThe Gates on Netflix and am almost finished watching the final episode. I just checked to see when season 2 would be out and am very disappointed the show has been cancelled. Please bring it back. It has been quite entertaining.
It sucks that since i started watching netflix ive found great shows and none will ever be back. Dresdin file was a great show also and i would love to see the gates and the Dresdin run for another season. I wont curse anyone for it not being brought back for another season. I would really love to see some fan fiction come from this. Gratz to all the cast and crew that did an awsome job.
It would be too bad to suspend the ppl like that especiablly after such a gr8 stuff. And 4 what I would expect. I’d luv 2 c a gr8 war. 4 Delin not deliver’n Doren becaouse of the monster she has created. Who is strong enough to face anything except the succubus, 4 luv. And the WW Out 4 Doren’s recipe.
It is upsetting to have such a fun new original series cancelled! I will always be left wondering what happened to my new favorite characters.
Sincerely,
Dissapointed
PLEASE bring this show back! I love the show and all the actors involved! Especially Rhona Mitra and Luke Mably! This show was not given a chance to get a good following going. It was not advertised very well. The newtork should have hyped it up a lot more. So PLEEEAAASSE bring it back!!!!!!!!!
so sorry loved this show
I’m hurt that the series is not continuing, my daughter and I truly enjoyed it. But I guess silliness is in…such as wiped out and sci is out!
We really enjoyed this show!! Great writing, great acting. Amazing that the reality dance shows are everywhere and this gets cancelled. Scary thought.
I am so pissed i just got finished watching season 1 i was hooked
And now im just finding out the show was canceled
Why can’t the SCI-FI channel pick it up
I agree with the others! This show rocked as it had a bit of everything and was not the least bit boring!! Maybe NBC or FOX will take this series on?? The Gates made Sunday nights worth waiting for. Smarten up ABC
Why do they keep cancelling the best shows???? I wasn’t sure I wanted to see another stupid vampire show…I love vampires…they have just gotten to glamorous…but I love this show. It seems so real…not “sparkly”. Please make a movie or something…don’t let it end like this…I need to know what happens to everyone!!!!!
This is a good show, didnt kno about it till i watch it on nexflix… Bring the show back !!!!
it is the most fucked up of the ***** decision to cancel this show. **** ABC ! such a PITA now that we have the gates airing in Indonesia and knowing it wont be back for the new season. ABC is fucked up !
