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, likewise,just finished watching the firs season. I really liked it. It has much potential and many unanswered questions that I would love to see as thes eason extends. Bring back!!
Gee, I’ve just finished the 1st season on Netflix! What, happened to “Charlie”?? Guess, the world will never kmow, huh? Bring, it back in a Dam, Movie! I, wanna play “witch of the West Gates”…lol.
The Gates is another great series that should have never been canceled. The powers that be have once again demonstrated a lack of vision; ignoring the viewers by listening to an archaic rating system. Among other victims Wolf Lake and the Faux pa of canceling Star Trek . Oops how many spin off series and Star Trek movies have been made since the original. Time to listen to your public.
Well, dang, just when I discovered this series I see that it is a cancelled show! It always has twists and turns that make you want to tune in again. Love the different take on all our favorite underworld creatures who are trying to be upstanding citizens and dealing with their own personal (wait for it!) DEMONS!! Ha…..please bring back more episodes!!!
Plz make more seasons cause I really liked the show and want to c how y’all rap things up instead of leaving them like y’all did.
I love this show please bring it back I want many more seasons. This was the best ever please im begging to have more seasons. PLEASEEEE
I am extremely sad that’s it cancelled. Please make more seasons. Please
Bring back The Gates pleaaaaaassssseeeee!!!!!!!! LOVE THIS SHOW BADLY 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 please bring it back
I am so sick of getting into a series and having it cancelled
With no ending. They did it with shows like invasion and
Surface. Why should i bother to watch. Its frustrating.
They should at least give the loyal viewers an ending. I started watching
The gates on netflix and it left us hanging. That sucks.
It would of been a hit. Abc blew it.
I love this show please bring it back
I couldn’t agree with you more, Katy. Wish there was a way to make that happen. This series is right up there with “The Walking Dead” and “Breaking Bad”. Can’t believe it wasn’t given a chance to make it.
I watched the gates on Netflix top Would love it if netflix would continue it as a Netflix series like house of cards. ..it was a good show!
It’s a shame the gates had to be cancelled after one season… To many questions now… Thanks a lot… Wanting to know more about Charlie and Isabelle…at least someone finish it with series of books… Jeez
Becos for my lov to the movie series d gate i watch it over and over still waiting for d season 2 released. Pls poffixcials of d movie pls do sometin am hungry to watch it.
I just finished watching the Gates on Netflix. I am so disappointed the series is not continuing. If their will be no more shows at least write a book series and finish it out! I was sorry to find out i can not even read it! This is three series i have started and no finish. I am getting to the point where i may not get involved in a series wait a few years and see if it lasts before watching. Secret Circle was another good one that was canceled.
