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 agree, bring the show back! I was in absolute ecstacy in the last episode of season 1! I wanted to see what happened next soo bad. It is horrible to hear this news. =( So what if it doesn’t show on TV, make another season and release it on DVD! I would buy it.
Every time I get into a good series, ABC cancels. I loved that show – wish they would put it back on……………
pleassssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee make a second season !!!! i really wanna know what’s gonna happen with charlie and andie !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙁 really too bad that they canceled the show 🙁
Another great show bites the dust. So sad. I watched the entire series in one sitting on Netflix. It was awesome. The casting was superbly done. Very “believable” characters, despite their supernatural flaws (well, nobody’s perfect!) and the story lines never failed to deliver. Perhaps a follow-up film is in order. I would love to see what happened to the residents after season one.
Love this show! And super irritated that it has been cancelled! Why even bother ugh….the least you could do is end it instead of leaving us hanging!! I mean dang all the reality tv crap can go on for season after season but something interesting doesn’t even get a second season. That’s just CRAP!! BRING IT BACK!

What about a movie or 4?? We loved this series! Just watched it on netflix, had we realized there would be no 2nd season, we wouldn’t have bothered. It went from awesome to crushing… =/
Glad Netflix put this show on stream so I could watch it and then find out there is no season 2. What a disappointment!
The gate is a really good series please bring the season 2
dont start something if you cant finish it ! its a real let down…that’s why not many people watch tv anymore.. its useless ! i just finished season one.. now i find there will not be another! the ratings? who cares… does it matter? everyone’s still making money regardless! what ever thats crap! it just makes me not even want to start a season of anything else on fear of another let down!
I thought the cast were fabulous and the plots were great.
OMG!!!!!!!
I absolutely love this show.
please this back
Why is it that crap can continue on the air and a good show, such as ‘the Gates’, gets cancelled? WTF?
Love it want to know what happens next.
I really enjoyed The Gates, bring it back!!!!!!!!!!!!
