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 think I’m done with ABC for a while. I get hooked on their shows, and then they cancel them. Was it too creative for ABC? The cast too good? Time for a new channel.
I totally agreee!!
I can’t believe they cancelled the show right when it started getting juicy. I could have forseen at least 3-4 more seasons if not more. These directors and producers are a joke. At the very least they could’ve turn it into a mini-series movie saga.
Seriously ppl Stop ending great shows! Its irritating……. Make season 2 happen!
All the way from Africa. South Africa to be pricise and I have recently had the privilage to watch the well thought and perfectly executed series of The Gates. And I was so excited about getting the season two. I have to say that I’m extremely disappointed that there was no season two. If by any chance the other seasons were already shot how can I get hold of them?
I really loved this show. I didn’t watch it when it was on ABC because I didn’t watch TV much so I never knew it was on. I learned of it through Netflix. I am saddened to know that it was cancelled because every episode was great! To bad So sad! I wish another network could have picked up the show.
Its terrible you canceled the gates its a great show kept me hfrom using drugs but it alway happens that way you find something you enjoy watching and they take it awaykike fantasy island remake the who canceled it dont know good tv if it hit them in the forehead no wonder nobody watches abc anymore
It’s a shame that ABC cancelled The Gates. I looked forward to coming home right from work to watch it. Thoroughly enjoyed every episode. Somebody talk to the SyFy Channel!!!
If ABC is not capable of completing a show,its better they dont start.DIS is the same thing they did with legend of the seeker and now the Gates,its so bad they keep fans in suspense

But it is what it is

I really like the show and I am disapointed very disapointed
Very disappointed that there won’t be another season I really enjoyed this show
Why did they cancel “The Gates?” My family thoroughly enjoyed this TV show. You can keep the “reality shows” with the bogus real life; give us back the make beleive that is worth watching. At least this The Gates was entertaining.
i came across “The Gates” by luck 2 days ago. am so surprised, i’d never heard of it.
i immediately fell in love with it and i watched in just 2 days.
why did “ABC” end this show?? damn it’s amazingly fantastic….brilliant!! if they were to bring “The Gates” back on….seriously, it would give the rest of the other shows like , “Vampire Diaries” a run for their fans.
ABC should reconsider and do a second season…I loved it. amazing!!
