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?

hacia mucho no veia una serie tan buena y atrapadora! … como que no hay segunda temporada ?? tan locos! 🙁
Had never heard of the show until seeing it o Netflix & it was awesome. Maybe they should have advertised it more aggressively or at least given it a second season. Big mistake ABC.
Just started watching on Netfix. OMG how stupid can ABC be to get rid of this show. It is awesome! Just like the show Secret Circle on WLFL channel 22 here. The channel vampire diaries comes on. That show was awesome! For them not to get a chance to finish it is stupid!
saw the show a couple of times and loved it really would love to see more
I just started watching the show yesterday and finished today. Some people are just a bit late to see it. They should have made a second season and then waited for the response of a third. The Gates is defiantly a show that should of had a second season.
We have only gotten the gates here in Australia 2013 and I can’t believe there is only one season it was cancelled. This show is so great and deserved to go on. Remember ABC Americans aren’t the only ones that watch these shows. Give us Aussies a chance to see some great TV keep going for a change. So not happy!!
Really guys, make the second and third, and fourth season. Come on it was a great show. What really happen? What ever it was take it back, and make this show happen again lol
The Gates is awesome. Is there anyway that Netflix can pick up the show????? I would love it if they did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bring gates back awesome show if I knew it was on, on television I would have watched it I watched it on Netflix and was so excited for the second season. 🙁
