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 LOVED THIS SHOW! So sad that it got cancelled. =/ I wanted to know what happened with Leigh’s ex boyfriend, with the other cop. I wanted to know what happened to Charlie… What was going to happen with him? Why couldn’t Nick stay a cop? Keep it like that! I wanted to know what happened with Andy… Where’d she go? What does she do for medicine? Does Brent tell her the truth about him diluting her medicine eventually? dklfaj;dskfdjaf This show was so amazingly good. I can’t believe it got cancelled. It makes no sense at all and I’m… Read more »

Love this show it deserves a season two. I don’t see how they can’t cancel this show and not teen wolf with all that horrible acting.
OMG The Gates is an awesome show and they should definitely bring it back for a season 2. The show is beyond unique and deserves at least two more seasons.
Of course its canceled I like it, and was waitting to see what happens.
The Gates is an amazing serie, its have action, suspense, good characters and great story, also the season finale was like if there are gonna be a next season, many people wanna see the season 2, its really a wrong decision from the channel to cancelled it.
FINALLY I DECIDE I WANT TO WATCH SOME SERIES OUT OF NOWHERE SELECTED THE GATES WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT. FOR 2 DAYS WATCH THE EPISODES THAT HAD MY EYES WITHOUT BLINKING AND GLUE TO THE SCREEN ONLY TO FIND OUT AFTER ALL THE EXCITEMENT THAT THERE IS NO SEASON 222222222 NOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOW CAN THAT BE NOT FAIR!!!! SHOULD HAD GIVE IT A LITTLE MORE TIME FOR PEOPLE TO ENJOY IT. JUST HOPE SOMEHOW THEY WILL MAKE IT I WOULD SURELY LIKE MANY OTHERS MAKE SURE TO SEE IT. SO UPSET!!!!!!!!
I just finished season 1 on NetFlix…. WOW, an amazing show!
Great characters and lots of suspense, constant conflicts and action… along with fantastic writing and storylines!
Boo hoo… I wish there was a season 2! Well, at least I have my TrueBlood!
should havekept it i was hooked
Why oh why is this show cancelled…oh I know because it
was a good show! ABC’s motto must be if the show’s good, the viewers
like and it has good rating as well, let’s cancel it! In other words if it makes
sense let’s do the opposite ! Thanks ABC, you’ve done it again!!
