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?

that sucks because ive been looking forward to another season i really liked the show and people suck
I just discovered this show on netflix and watched the whole season in one weekend. I loved it. I don’t know why its ratings weren’t awesome, maybe it didn’t get enough advertisement. I never heard about it. I wish there was a season two.
I am so disappointed The Gates won’t be back. I bet we can thank all of the reality TV shows for this! That’s all that will be on TV soon. The Gates was a creative, interesting, well acted, directed and written show. Bring it back! Please!!!
I am vry dissappointed that this show was cancelled. I was really looking forward to the second season. Hopefully it wil start back up and people will change their minds and give it a shot.
Bring it back ……………. please. Give it another try.
I just found out that they cancelled the show….I LOVED IT!!!! Why did they have to do this when it had a good story line and actors involved on the show…. Is there a way we can get the show back on????
Love this show!
Is there a way that we can convince ABC Family to make a season 2 of this show.
People don’t always say which shows they love and maybe if ABC could ask us how much we love ‘The Gates’ they would know that a lot of people like it.
Who’s with me?
Anybody know a way to contact them. I WANT THIS SHOW BACK ON, WE ALL DO.
I finish washin it on netflik and came to mi pc to chec S2 and i had a big desapointment i loved it…YES BRING IT BACK…
too bad its better than a soap or vamp diaries
ps…sorry about the typos… (: lol..
You know what I hate most? Abc and Abc Family (and every other network as well–espesically SyFi). I am just incredibly disappointed and disgruntled with the Network. There have been shows that I have watched from the very first episodes to the final, hoping and expecting the second season or even the third season. It really irks that that these Network Execs do not, even remotely TRY to get the viewer’s pov on a show. I have watched Moonlight and LOVED that show. I have watched Kyle XY, I have watch Dead like Me, the list goes on. ONLY then… Read more »
are u kiddenig me
its the best drama there
I like it so much how they think that no s02
SO enjoyed this show. Discovered & watched on Netflix, stayed up -couldn’t stop, watched entire season ep.’s in one night , only slept an hour before getting up to go to work. Googled for season 2 release, learned of cancellation, SO disappointed! You’ve created a fabulous story line and cast of characters with superb choice of actors.
Thought? Is it at all possible to find enough funding/marketing through targeted sponsors to support a online syndication of the continuation of the series? I have a few ideas on how this might be possible.
This was a wonderfully well written show with immensely talented actors and actresses. I wish it would be brought back, possibly put on DVD or even made in to a movie. The short blurb about the second season sounds like a great concept.
I found the series on Netflex and had never heard of it previously. Had I known about the show when it originally aired I would have watched every episode sitting on the edge of my seat. Please bring back The Gates.
I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED THE GATES. I WISH IT WOULD HAVE RETURN. WHAT ABOUT FUTURE EPISODES, CAN WE GET ON DVD?
A LOYAL FAN
I love this show!!! it should return!
