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?

Is very upset that there will not be on for a second season.. I watched it on netflix and was sad that there wasn’t another season with the last episode left you hanging for the next season alot of unanswered things that were going on. Like what is going to happen to charlie and Devon. The Leah thing to the guy that kept calling and we don’t know what is going to happen now.
I agree with everyone in that ABC should have given The Gates a fair shot and advertised the show. Like the others, I had never heard of The Gates until the show was suggested on Netflix. I loved this show so much that I watched the entire first season in only two days (one evening and the following morning).
Maybe this will be temporarily. Maybe people will watch it on Netflix and like it. Cuz I honestly never heard of it until I saw it on Netflix. And I fell in love with the characters. But what I was saying was maybe people will find it and when it comes back on everyone will tune in and watch cuz I’m sure everyone along with myself are dying to see more!! I’ll be praying that they realize how dumb it was cb eking it and call all you guys back.
I agree with everyone. It is very upsetting that there will not be a season two. So much just needed to be explained. What the world did she do to Charlie?? What is he is that why she needed the eyes blood nd stuff for?? Did she do that so he can protect her? Where did Andy go? She doesn’t have medicine where would she go anywhere she goes she is going to hurt ppl. Is she going to become a killer? Lol. Bring guys to her place and replenish on them? What happens to Dylan and Claire I like… Read more »
I just finished season one and i thought the show was amazing! Im super pissed that there wont be a season two. Especially since it ended with such a crazy cliff hanger! what happens to Leigh? What happens to Charlie? What happens to everyone!!!! These are things I would like to know. Soooo, make a damn season two!!! I have to know what happens!!!
ABC are idiots.
ABC SUCKS!!!!!! They cancel any and everything. Worth. Watching. Someone. Needs a new line of work!!! Seriously. Hey have you guys from the gates. Considered going to another network? I would totally follow
Just finished watching season one. Loved it, great new twist on all the same old same old vamp/wolf shows out there. To bad no season 2 was really looking forward to it.
It is a tragedy that the Gates was cancelled, especially right at a crucial moment!
I am one of many who didnt hear about it until too late. It’s upsetting that so many of us couldnt do more at the time to help the ratings because of this reason! ABC has lost an incredible show and dedicated fan base!
Thanks to the cast and crew for a great adventure!!

I must agree I had never heard of the show until I saw it on Netflix. It a shame the show was cancelled.
I agree with Sarah. I had never heard of the show until my Netflix instant suggested it to me. I have to say, I’m really disappointed in the networks. They have been continuously letting good shows fail and prop up boring and uncreative shows. I guess I’ll just continue to watch old shows on Netflix…..
I am sooooo upset the “The Gates” isn’t coming back for another season! I really think abc should have given the show another try.
It is really unfortunate that ABC did not advertise this show when it was on the air. I stumbled upon it on Netflix, absolutely ‘devoured’ it (excuse the pun). This was the best series I’ve seen in a very long time. Classic soap opera reminiscent of “Dark Shadows”, it was absolutely well-done.
This was a great show. Very eloquently written. I loved that it was a sophisticated storyline. It would make for a great book series. I am sad it will not be returning.

Loved this show on Netflix. We don’t have cable/ etc. and only watch shows and movies on Netflix. Hate this awesome show won’t be back.
