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 just started watching The Gates on Netflix and I sure wish they would bring the show back since there is so much of the vampire/wolf saga going on.
I would love for at least a book to be published with a finale. Even a series of few books. Jeez, I hate it when I start to see a show and then it just gets cancelled.
I doon’t know how but I will find a way to bring THE GATES back all that love this show should get together and make this happen it aint over yet.
I love the gates so much and when it was over I really wanted there to be more it sucks that it’s not coming back on air
so wish this show had a second season I so love the Ratcliffe family especially Clare
You have to be kidding Me. Execs at ABC need to drop their crack pipes and think clearly. This was an amazing show.
we hope that they decide to bring
it back it not right to end it the way they did
I loved this series. George Bush strikes again, allowing all of those huge corporations to buy up the television stations and movie studios. All those corporations care about is ratings and profits, not quality or art. This was a great show!
I also fell in love with the series on Netflix. Bumms me out that they canceled it. I REALLY hope they decide to give it another go.
I feel same way, just finshed watching on Netflix n was looking for MORE only to find there isn’t any. DERN!
