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 SUCKS!!!!!!LOVE THAT SHOW!!!!!!!!
Wish I could cast a spell for a season 2! Pretty bummed…
I can’t believe with all the nonsense shows out there that this one didn’t make it
We want a second season, how come other crapy tv shows have a lot of seasons when The Gates was absolutely great!!!
SECOND SEASON PLEASE!
No we want a second season . If jersey shore can have 5 seasons why can’t The Gates ? The gates was fantastic I enjoyed the whole show . Great job to the creators and producers 🙂
I completely agree. It’s sad that a good show like this was canceled and yet we’re stuck suffering through ANOTHER season of reality crap. Seriously, this was a bad call from the producers.
I like others find The Gates on Netflix and absolutely loved it. Also, was absolutely mad when I found out that are no more expisodes. Couldn’t you at least make a DVD so it would have an ending.
TV, more the most part, is all reality shows; go figure. I live reality, give me some fantasy.
Just finished watching this show on Netflix. Why was it cancelled? My husband and I thought it was great!
Bring back “The Gates”. That was one of my favorite shows and also others in our office liked it too.
You should at least have let it run another season.
OMGSH! Like all the other viewers I lOVED this show. Couldn’t stop watching it…it was a really good show.

whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy pllllllllllllllllllllsssss i wannt thatttttt pls nooo dont end itt
A pretty good show. Wish there was a 2nd season. It’s amazing how they take this show off and leave the crap that’s there on. The SyFy channel or someone should definitely pick this show up. It has followers including myself. We’ll see what the future holds.
I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO SEE A SECOND SEASON WILL THERE BE A PICK UP BY ANOTHER NETWORK?
Lets keep out fingers crossed because it’s been a while now and it hasnt been picked up the fans need to show more of an effort and demand that the show be brought back posting about it wont make a diff. to be bring it back.
I want it back…
It can end this way…
Make a Book…
I just want to knw what happen…
Pleaseeeeeeee..
