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 really liked it and watched the whole season. I don’t know how they get there ratings but it seemed to me alot of people were really into it, so it doesn’t make sense to cancel it. I would really love it if someone would make at least a season two so we know what happened.
Just found on netflix watched the entire season! Loved every minute of it! All I can say is please make season two! The actors and actresses were all amazing as well as all of the characters! I think there should have been more advertising of the show. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for season two! I’ll be watching out for it.
I LOVE IT….. I FOUND IT ON NETFLIX AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A SEASON WHAT CHARLIE BECOME AND WERE DID ANDI GO TO…. I HAVE GOOD DEAL’S FOR SEASON TWO….
i was very mad when i found out the cancled it because i recently started watching it and i dont think it was very good to end season one like that and then have the show cancled because if not a lot of people were watching it you could have seen if more would watch it in season two but no you had to cancle it i wish you guys could make a season two
Phenomenal Show…I was very upset when I watched it only to find out that it had been cancelled. I became rather attached to the Characters and Storyline. I guess we will never know what happened to Devon, Claire, Dillon and Charlie…or where Andi went off to. It really is a shame!!!
I just started looking at the Gates great show, its a shame it ended. wish that is was not cancelled . love the acters and the things that where going on in the gates my kind of show.
I really hope on day the bring it back.. I really liked the Gates
So sad when they did what they did ; I was working on a new storyline. A new addition comes to the Sherriff’s department ; Giborim; Led by Deputy Melchizedek Tubal-Cain (Descendants of human women and angels) who has tthe skill and power to destroy any of the creatures living within the Gates or without but will not as long as they don’t harm any humans inside or out of The Gates. ..He is a bit intolerant; Vampire are talking mosquitoes, Werewolves are untamed dogs; Incubus & Succubus are oversexed leaches and witches of any stripe are kindling …but alas… Read more »
I cannot believe that it got cancelled with a season ending cliffhanger… WTF? I have been addicted and have also watched on Netflix. I am obsessed! This is too bad… Awesome acting and pretty great story lines. Boo!
I loved the show, it rocked, can’t believe it got cancelled but we still have to see dancing with the stars.
Sad I think that it is a great series and I would even by it on DVD if it ever came out.
This was sad to see go abc makes me mad they cancelled kyle xy + this and they barley ran 🙁
Like others I just found the show on Netflix and loved it. Why is it that all of the awesome show get cancelled and all of the awful shows go on for decades?
I LOVED THIS SHOW! I wish it would come back. It was at a horrible time but I would stay up just to watch it. I wondered why it was cancelled and just found this article 🙁 I hope they start it up again sometime soon.
I just found this show on NetFlix. I can’t believe it only made it one season! IT IS A GREAT SHOW! So sad.
I found this show on netflix to and I thought season 2 would be online but i guess not. I don’t know why it was cancelled it was Really good, its one of my favorite shows.
