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?

This show is awesome, watching it on Netflix now. You all need to do something about bringing it back!
Omg I love the gates I hope and pray the make season two omg I’m gonna be so bummed .. :/
I believe this was one of the BEST supernatural shows out there… i am very sad that it will not be returning at all… but please ABC know that if you ever do reconsider bringing it back, there are ALOT of viewers who would watch religiously and you would probably have more rating that TWILIGHT ( I hope)
And also dont put it on at the same time as say…. dancing with the stars or any other popular lame show cause people will most likely go with something they have already seen and not something new. But this show was amazing and I would LOVE to see it air again. 🙂
Sooooo mad lovedddddd it. Ugghhh
I am verty Sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ! this show was amazing …i was up all night 🙁
Whyyyyyy?? SO sad….:((((
I say we boycott ABC until they agree to bring this show back I Fell In love with It!!!!
Why I wish they would reconsider putting it back on the air I think it was a great series
ABC people are idiots. The end. All good shows get canceled. Unbelievable!
The Gates is an awesome show…. it isnt fair to give such an awesome ending to a season and not return with another one… BOOOOO 🙁
I really no that the gates should return because that’s not nice u ppl just tess us then cut it off come on please it was really good
Hi I’m tasha I’m so sad that the show was cancelled I just started watching it and I loved it so much I recently found out that I have cancer so I’d love for the second season to air before I die plz this was my only joy and now I don’t even have that plz I need to know what’s gona happen to charlie before I die
I want it back…NOW. Everyone knows shows don’t catch up to the public until at least the 2nd season! I haven’t even HEARD of the show until Netflix and now Im hooked. Why would the executives cancel the show without if even giving it a real shot? Not good sense if you ask me.
I agree with you, Lisa. Netflix is what brought my attention to the show and now I love it. It’s terrible to find out the second season will never come out…
Just started watching first season on Netflix .bummer there is no 2nd season.
What?? No season 2? ABC realllly should STOP cancelling interesting shows!!! Im with the person said time to find a new channel!
