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 found the gates on Netflix and watched in 2 days, I loved and I’m so sad to know it’s gone.
This is one of my favorites series, please bring it back.
Totally wrong that this show was cancelled! Watched it through Netflix and I wish it could have gone longer and had a ending at least. Thanks to all those who worked on it.
I just started watching the show threw netflix and now i am hooked!! Im already halfway threw the season in 2 days of watching and was hoping to find a second season in the making…. but sadly disappointed!! This new mom needs The Gates back!!
I really liked the show and am sad it won’t be returning. I have been watching for it to come back on this winter. 🙁
I just got sucked into this show on netflix. I heard about it but thought it was on hbo or something. I am so sad to know it’s gone. I watched 5 episodes back to back with my husband and love it.
I dont think it was the show that got the low ratings. A lot of ABC shows have been cancelled because of low ratings as well. Ever thought it may be ABC? This show alone is great! along with many that have been cancelled, maybe they should find a new channel to put it on and see how many ratings it may get..
On another note, this show had only 1 series, how could you expect 1 series to get a lot of ratings? i didnt even know about the show until netflix.
That makes me mad , Nd sooo sad , I cryed .. /:
This is one of my favorite SHOWS .
They end it horribly , and completely OPEN .
They should make a second season ..
I cant explain why or how bad that is to end a Series like that, Especially since it was such a good show .
But that is just my opinion . But there is most likely A LOT of people who have the same opinion .
I loved the gates, kinda like a fairy tale movie like once upon a time is good too. Left us in suspense and wondering what should be next since charlie is changed. You all should reconsider making at least a different ending . Love the show bring it back. Did you all ever consider maybe timing was wrong? My husband and I had less time to watch tv cause of economy and gas prices and food higher that we had work more than usual. I know last year and a half it has been like that within our family less… Read more »
please, someone can tell me what kind of criature is the charlie now????
help from spain!!
plz plz bring it back i found the gates on netflixs and watched every show and couldnt wait till the next one and then found out that they droped it come on bring it back
Just watched this on Netflix with my family and was really disappointed when I looked it up and found out that they never made any more. Everyone that has watched this show loved it!! I think you should make an effort and bring it back. They have soo many other shows on tv now a days that are so boring and the same old crap, and they still keep making more and more of those. Come back out with this again! I think that maybe the problem was, the reason you didn’t get high ratings was because maybe you guys… Read more »
Why you decide to canceled the gates??????? Please bring The gates back!!!! Ita. A very nice series… Dont do it…
PLEASE BRING THE GATES BACK! I DONT CARE WHAT YOU DO.
why would they cancel such a cool show….. should really consider sticking to it and bringing it back.
I an soooo dissappointed that the gates decided to only make one season. My husband and I LOVED it!! As well as my bro and his gf. Really wish they’d reconsider. Finally, someone does something really original, interesting, and with a great crew that carries out the plotline and scripts great!! Then all these remakes of shows with the same old actors fly by and have how many seasons!!! It just doesn’t make any sense to me!! Maybe thats why no one is making anything original anymore cause americas masses are so ready for tired boring rerun after rerun! Well… Read more »
