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 really hope that another network will pick up this show & I hope the cast will be willing to rejoin… This show is amazing, I hope it will return.
Was one of the MOST EXCITING showes on TV
more that sorry its gone
Maybe if I wish on the right star it will be back!!!!!
The gates was an amazing show, I had been looking forward to it’s return this season, now to find it’s been canceled!!!! Totall dissapointment!!! Why are the good ones always cancelled? What a bummer!!!
Sorry to hear this, really enjoyed the show. Hopefully, it will come back on.
I saw the show on netflix and loved it watched it in one day. please i loved it a lot bring it back
My husband and I LOVED IT!! We were left feeling very unsatisfied at how the show ended. 🙁 Please BRING IT BACK!!! We want to see the “bad” Charlie!
Watched the show on netflix a few times….. Amazing! GRRRRRR! wish it wasn’t canceled…………. )=
What’s really amazing is that shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer started off slow and gained a huge following. This show had several things going for it. Good plots, drama, suspense, action, emotional. The cast was outstanding. I think ABC could have marketed this show better and moved it’s time slot to allow it to grow. ABC you are really making a big mistake letting this one go. I’m sure without a doubt it can and will make you $$$. Please ABC Execs, bring it back.
Saw the series on Netflix. This was such an addicting series. I can’t believe they cancelled this show. They really need to bring it back!
BRING IT BACK PLEASE…………………..
dont do that.why can you cancell a great movie like the gates.please solve any problems that are associated with thte cancellation.i would be greatful to see the gates series return.
It’s disappointing that a talented cast with good writers and story lines had been shelved. I’m sure all the reality trash being kept on TV is so much more entertaining. (Sarcasim) I hope ABC comes to their senses and bring The Gates back. Or it gets picked up by one of the other networks. Cheers to you all and we’ll keep an eye out.
LOVED the show!!! Writing was fantastic, the actors were EXCELLENT and it was fun and on the edge of your seat what was going to happen next. Problem was two fold. It was a fluke I saw the previews for it as no one else I know did and two, the day/time sucked. The second can be overcome with major changes on the 1st issue. Please bring it back, it was an excellent show, truly.
This was a great show, sick to hear its been cancelled. Please bring it back!!!!
Yea, I have been looking for it and looking for it and due to a commercial about Vampire Diaries on DVD, I came to check online about The Gates and here I am writing after I found out it was cancelled. I truly hope it comes back, MARKET the show correctly and go over the top with letting it be known it exists and then find a better time. Competing with more established shows is hard.
BRING IT BACK PLEASEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
