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?

WTF?! I just watched The Gates on Netfilx and I LOVED it!!! So did my husband and my 2 sons!!! Then I google’d The Gates to find out when the next season starts and I find it’s canceled?! Why? This show actually captured not only my attention, but that of my family. Do you producers have any idea how hard it is to get a family together and do something they all enjoy?! Your ratings that prompted you to cancel the show are wrong!! At least invest in doing a ‘wrap-up’ movie, instead of leaving us all hanging and wanting… Read more »

I also just watched the thirteen episodes on Netflix. Great Series. At the age of 63 some of the new age stuff leaves my head spinning. The Gates had a touch of the old time horror films, just enough to keep me focused. As an author of seven books, I wish I had written this story. Would love to see more.
I have been waiting for the new season to continue for The Gates and all of a sudden it is October and still no word. I had to go to Ask.com to find out when The Gates was going to start the new season and find out it has been cancelled. I LOVE THIS SHOW and MOONLIGHT and they have both been cancelled with no word… Yet stupid shows like The adopted twins begins. PLEASE BRING IT BACK OR SELL IT SO SOMEONE ELSE CAN CONTINUE IT.
I’ve just watched the whole season on Netflix as well I love it it left me craving for more and I agree like another person wrote befor me there wasn’t enough advertising and I think u should think about continuing the show I think it’s a really great show I loved the actors as well I just hated how it ended I was googeling gates 2 season lol I was like I must watch and I discover it was cancelled I was like no it ended wanting to see more you should atleast to make it end with a more… Read more »
