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?

So disappointed!!! I loved the show and was anticipating the return… somebody do something!!!
I am extremely sad this show won’t come back, are they kidding, it was one of the best shows. They should just change the time it aired.
awesome series…some might say it reaches the level of the hit series Supernatural… It’s a pitty there won’t be a second season but i would love for it to have continued for another 3 or 4 seasons
Friggin ratings…mainstream doesn’t know anything other than reality shows anymore.
I will admit it took a bit to get going but, once it did it was good stuff. I did watch every episode and feel like someone took the ending of a good book and hid it.
I’m italian! I’ve just ended to watch the last episode! and then I run to my Mc to surf and see when the next season is coming! And now this awful news! PLEASE GO ON WITH THE GATES It’s a great show, full of things, great ideas and great characters!
Hoping they change their mind, thank you for the great time the all cast gave to us till now!
kiss
WTF! I don’t know about the ratings but my family and I watched each episode faithfully. We loved it! We are so disappointed that there won’t be a second season. Please reconsider!
I love watching The Gates as well and I’m sad that they won’t have a second seasong 🙁 🙁
The Gates :{ :{
I’m really sick and tired of ABC…they don’t know crap aboting anything…..The Gates was a wonderfl show…i’, soooooooooooooooo freaking pissed it’s not coming bac…it was a really great show…so sad…as for the cast, i loved every single one of them…ABC sucks….
The only reason I even heard about the show was when I accidentally found it on hulu. They should have advertised better, because I would watch it every time a new episode showed up on hulu, but never got time to watch it on abc because it was on a Sunday. This show seriously needs to be brought back!
Devistated that there won’t be a season two! I was looking forward to it!
I have since summer waiting for the second season… Im so sad and dissapointed.. It was a good TV-show. Hopefully it will be reconsider..
I am really disappointed there will not be another season
