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?

wtf I think it sucks that they canceled the show i was so looking forward to season 2 , the show was so exciting ..I think they need to put it back on.
First off I would like to say that The Gates s an amazing show!!!! And that it really pisses me off, I mean what about all the unanswered questons ugh!!!! I would love to see what the hell Charlie is and that ***** Devin ugh hate her. Claire and Dylon are just the best and the wolves are definitely hot. I mean damn why even watch tv anymore if all they are gonna do is cancel it? And they wonder why no one watches tv anymore. It’s sad because this would have been another “True Blood” or even “Buffy the… Read more »

Too bad its cancelled, hope they bring back the show
i really loved this show.!!! they should just give it a second chance cause it was getting GOOD.!!
I loved The Gates-and that is why I don’t watch TV anymore because you get into a great series and then they cancel it .
all i have to say if you want you show to last do not put it on ABC they will just up and cancel it this show should of been on The CW it would of made it last longer it would of lasted the period of time it needed too. NBC and ABC never gives a show a chance they are all about the freaking reality TV crap now a days , this and a lot of other shows , this was a good show I’m tired of the good horror shows not getting the chance to get the… Read more »
**** ABC to hell with them if the requested for 1 million $ someone would have paid them,, why would they let them put on the season one when they dont want the second season..it ****
There are way too many people that want this show to return, it would be incredibly stupid if that didn’t happen.
I’m in shock, I got hooked on The Gates after I came across it on Netflix, got to the end of season 1 episode 13 and then nothing! I went online to see when the second season would come out or if I had missed it and needed to find it some place else and there was nothing???? I say “WHAT THE HELL?” How can you guys just leave the public, the fans hanging like that, there has to be more????? All I know is the writers, the producers and ABC need to get together and finish this, us fans… Read more »
Why did they have to cancel I loved the show….
Just watched the first season of The Gates on Netflix and loved it. Sad this show did not get more Seasons. It was a Supernatural/ Desperate Housewives twist. Watched all episodes in one day. I was deffinately hooked. Thanks again for the creativness of this show.
I have Netflix and just finished the entire 1st Season. Awesome! I loved it. I
can not believe this show was cancelled!
I love the gates, and I am really upset about there not being a 2nd season it seems like there are too many one season shows.
it really ******* annoyed me canceling after one season, they could have at least finished it after season two and answered all those questions for all the fans!!! now i will know…..
they really need to stop getting rid of shows so what if people dont have the time to do ratings on all shows they need to get on air and say what do you think should we end this show and then decide…!!!!!!!!!!!! the assholesssss pricks they do this all the time it pisses me off.
