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?

Ok. So my husband and I just discovered the Gates on Netflix, and are completely bummed to find out that there isn’t a second season. We had never even heard of it until yesterday! We would have so watched it! PLEASE BRING THIS SHOW BACK!!!
I want the gates back!
This show is awesome! Bring it back for another
season, plz!!!
Me and my boyfriend just finish episode13 just now. And I cant believe it when we searched online for the next season we end up with this site! No more THE GATES????? How could they canceled the series????? And by the way, I just want you to say that it reached here in the Philippines!! How could you cancel the THE GATES??? This really made us sad! we Loved the story! If you are not going to bring it back well at least tell us if what happened with Charlie??? What did he become?????
Are you kidding me no second season after just watching season one on Netflix! Low blow after that cliff hanger with Charlie. Why does every good show get canceled on all the net works? Do people really have no taste? Outrage!
Today I finished watching episode 13 of the gates and I still feel the same way……..frustrated that I won’t know what happens next! Charlie woke up to be “walking dead” Devon is wanted and Emily is supposed to go live with her aunt. What I want to see happen is the radcliffs don’t separate or leave & they keep Emily, and as Emily gets older she wants to be like her parents. That’s one thing, then I would love to see what happens with the rest. Oh and Leigh’s physco ex is stalking her….so there’s plenty mo to write about!… Read more »
Agree!!!!!
Please bring it back!…. It was so Good!
Just because all the people with enough money for cable are too dense to understand the allure of a show like The Gates doesn’t mean it wasn’t a good show. I just finished it on Netflix and if it was something that was going to continue on it would be one I would collect on DVD. Screw your stupid ratings, you shouldn’t cancel a good show because of that.
Me and my friends were expecting that “The Gates” would be back on TV this January… What a shame ; ( It was such a great series. Please bring it back!!!!
