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?

Never saw it until Netflix , it’s your own fault for the shi**y advertising you did on the show while it aired. It was ABC’s fault for making this seem like a high school version of the Twilight series (which are a disgrace to the word entertainment and I am ashamed of how much America is infatuated with that show). However, The Gates was a great idea and had a lot of action and wonderful CG. Now that this show has exploded online(thanks to Netflix not yourselves) I think from a business perspective you all would be foolish not to… Read more »
Bring back the gates…..never heard of it until Netflix suggested. My heart is broken that there is no season 2. Bring back the gates…..pweeeeeaaaassse!
please please please… bring back the gates i really love this series… how could they cancelled such a nice show im hoping to see Luke Mably again…
I’d like to see season two very much!
Bring back the The Gates!!!!
PLease please bring back the gates for a second season I hate the fact that on netflix they have these great tv shows i get interested in like 9 lives of cloey king and then the gates and then theres only one season!!! it sucks!!! so please bring it back!!!!!
:(((( I liked The gates! To bad that thers no season 2..
I just started watching the gates on netflix. the show is very interesting and different. so many elements in one community. i loved the concept. Couldn’t you just continue the show online? just like abc is doing for all my children
i loved this show why they take out the shows tht we like tht sucksssss
OMG. I literally cried when I saw there wasn’t going to be a season two. This is one of the intriguing, capturing shows that you just can’t get enough of. I fell in love with the mystery, the romantics, the suspense and the drama. The twist in the story leaves me wanting more. I want to see what happens to the vampires and werewolves!! To dylan and claire, to lee. And especially Devon!! YOU GUYS HAVE TO CONTINUE THE SHOW. Please do not give it up 🙁 This has potential. More people have to see that. Even if the show… Read more »
I think it was due to the lack of the advertising and poor title name they gave to the show. I loved it, never heard of it until I subscribed to Netflix. It would have been nice to watch a second season … Lots of loose ends, for a new series of plots to begin with in a 2nd season…would like to see Devan get hers, and see the outcome of circumstances of Dylan & Claire, as well as Vampires vs Werewolves! And let’s not forget Charlie!! PLEASE consider a series continuation and better advertising!! I would be a viewer!!
would have loved to see a second season but i did think that at the end of the first season that it was most likely that they would not make another season. We will all miss the gates and hope that the writers will make a show similar to this
I really need The Gates to have a second season. What did Charlie become? Will the Vamps and Wolves bond together to get rid of Devon? These are questions i’m sure other fans of the show are having. Wondering will it be Charlies girlfriend that will save him, suck that evil life force out of him. Inquiring Minds Need To Know. A SECOND SEASON OF THE GATES PLEASE!!!!
I think u should being the TV show The Gates back. You may not have gotten the ratings that u wanted right away. But as the show opened up more it will being to grow and u will see the ratings grow with it. If it doesn’t then u make the show come to a close with a real end and not leave it open like this. That is really stupid and should always bring the fans of the show to a close.
I think it has to be because of the advertising they gave to the show. I loved it, never heard of it until at netflix. It would have been nice a second season … Lots of loose ends
Like you said. Anyways there are all kind of fans. Later.
I agree!
Honestly… don’t see how some of these other shows make it past season 1!
