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?

You know i was out today in search of d gates season2…i ended up knowing it has been canceled…this isnt fair and just so you know it has been the best supernatural film i had ever seen……
I thought The Gates was an excellent show. Why would the network cancel this show? They left it with a great way to continue the second season. It’s not “Grimm” but it’s damn good. I hope someone with a little insight and intelligence decides to bring it back … maybe even call it “The Gates: Charlie’s Back.” Boy … the stories they could develop!
I,love the Gates why would they cancel it. It keeps u wanting more. Someone please pick it back up.
I watched the show faithfully.. And now I am left wondering what happens next. I would love to see a season two. Maybe a movie might be better, this is a story that must be told.
Tired of watching tv shows on Netflix just to get into them then they get cancelled come on can’t Netflix pick them up when the tv stations cancel them
Just watch all 13 with my daughter episodes and so loved it, I agree that it should be back. I was left with a WHAT! I want to see what happens to them all. Maybe they need to do it the way Teen Wolf does. Or like Gjesica lyles said do it on
Netflix….
Why don’t they just continue the serious but on Netflix
I live the show and I want to see more
Series*
Great Show…
the makers suck for not making season 2 this show is awsome.
I’d love it to come back. Maybe 4 years later, people are readier for it now.
I am sooooooo pisssed off that there is no season 2……if i knew that there wasnt going to be a season 2, i wouldnt hve watched season 1 becuz its really hard to let go of something that u have become attatched to
So right!!! This movie was a keeper. I wouldn’t have got so deep into it…smh
Yah my daughter and I are both mad. Just finished season 1 on Netflix. Loved the show and could not wait for season only to found out it was canceled like season 2 of Secret Circle
I love The Gates so much . Am really pissed off.
I love The Gates so much am so upset that this is just how it ends.
i am not happy about season 2 of The Gates being cancelled. i love the show. its a bummer they are not returning it back on air…
