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’d would love to see The Gates season two be back on. I really got sinked in with only the first season. Please have “Open the Gates” 🙂
Bring Back the gates!!!!!
It was a great show. All the great shows get cancelled and we are stuck with either really TV or lame series. Bring back the Gates !!!!!!
BRING BACK THE GATES! This was well-written and fun. I looked forward to the episodes and was never disappointed. Why to the good ones get cancelled? So sorry to hear about that. I hope someone can bring it back. There is enough crap on television and cable, why can’t those of us with taste have our shows too??
its so weird my name is lisa also and i watch the whole show on netflicks how strange
I watched season 1 tonight, I hate it when this happens . Just like Serenity.
I hate when shows tell you right before the next season starts “OH- SHOWS BEEN CANCELLED” So all of us that really enjoyed it and couldn’t wait for the following season to begin wondering in suspense. “THIS REALLY BITES BECAUSE OF RATINGS”.Maybe if you just tried to put it on a different night maybe it might just happen to get watched by more people.Anyway I would just like to say I’m very discussed. If you want to keep cancelling shows after one season at least make an ending dvd or something so atleast real fans will be satisfied
Totally weird…my name is Lisa too and I just watched the entire first season in two days on Netflicks. Seriously weird….but I too am disappointed there is not another season…someone does need to bring it back!!!
I watched the first season of ‘The Gates’ on Netflix. This show is so addictive…I’m disappointed to find out it was cancelled. I’ve never heard of the show until Netflix…maybe there wasn’t enough promo on it? I can’t imagine people wouldn’t watch if they knew how great the show was. Bring it back!
This was just starting to get incrusting!! Comeback!!
Please bring back The Gates 🙁
