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 is he problem with ABC, they come up with great shows and then cancel after the first season. Kyle KY anyone? I stopped watching Netflix for a while because of that same reason, most of their best shows come from ABC and got tired of being left hanging.
You can’t just leave it like that?! That was not right! the least that they could have done was to make a last episode to close the friggin story!! Geeeezzzz Ggggggrrrrr
I just finished watching all the episodes on Netflix then went to see if there is a 2nd season and there isnt?! Why the HECK they just cut a story right in the middle? What happens with Charlie? Will they be able to fix him? What is gonna happen with Devon? Claire and Dylon? Too many questions left UNANSWERED! UNACCEPTABLE! 🙁
I’m fedup wiht the way you people do your thing, it ‘s worst dan i can even imagine, next time if you know you ar’not going to finsh it dont start it.
I hate this. I have just finished watching the movie hoping that season 2 is already available since its 2012 already. They must create a season 2!
Totally agree that this show was well worth watching and could have taken off if given more than one season! Loved the characters and couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next. Would have thought that this show would have had some staying power considering the current interest in vampires and other mythical creatures.
I recently found this series on Netflix. It is beyond insane that awesome shows like this gets canceled without reason after one season and trash t.v. like “Toddlers and Tiaras” has run for five seasons.
I actully liked this show an I usually don’t watch much TV, but I thought it was better then the show True Blood an I like the first 3 seasons very much got my whole family hooked.
Thank you
They cancel good shows to replace with worthless reality crap. Look at what they did with dirty sexy money.
OMG I can not believe that they are canceling this show!!! It was almost every episode on the edge of my seat. WRITERS are a waste to end it this way and nothing. Shows should be given a “given” time of at least 3 seasons just see if their any good. This would have went far if given the chance of survival.
BIG JOKE to end that way..
WTF no season 2????!!!!!! what a wast…did everyone forget how to write or was there just too little interest. How can the just leave us standing here wondering what happens next. Ugh what a wast of time. Why air it if you just gonna cancel it with ending it properly. Even a nuclear explosion would have been preferable????? :{
i want season 2 :(((
BRING IT BACK!!!!
My wife and I were really hoping to see a second season of The Gates. We really like the show and wish it was going to happen in season 2. We really want to know what happened to Charlie, And all the other characters. Please bring it back and give it a fair chance to be like some of the other Tv series. Sometimes you need more then just one season.
This totally sux!!!! I loved this show, i cant beleive u guys wanna cancel it before giving it a proper good shot, i wanna know what is wrong with charlie…..so please bring it back….
