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?

was fantastic watching The Gates real guys we need season two
please bring this series back it was a shame this was cancelled
This was a really good show with excellent writing. ABC should reconsider a reboot on this show.
I think it was ahead of its time. Awesome plot and storyline! So many avenues to explore. I wonder can we start a petition to recommence it running . Ideas?
This was truly a great show! I think it was ahead of its time. It would definitely be a hit in 2015. Awesome plot and storyline! So many avenues to explore. I wonder can we start a petition to recommence it running . Ideas?
This show is soooooo amazing. Why did they cancel it man. I just saw it on Netflix and looked for a season 2 and it was nowhere to be found.
Truly! I think it was ahead of its time! It would be a definite hit in 2015.
I enjoyed watching The Gates! Wish the season continued with a season 2 at least completing the story. Maybe Netflix should make it an original and continue the show.
I love the gates too
So of all the shows out there that I think could go in the dumpster, THIS is the one they cancel? What about even Secret Circle? Netflix, Syfy, anybody…please continue the series. It doesn’t have to last as long as Supernatural if it can’t make it that far. But at least give us endings that allow us to lay back from the edge of the seat and enjoy our cheering or aha moments.
The series is too good! The season finale left you wanting more!! It should be on Netflix !!
I enjoyed the gates very much I agree from others to do a movie to finish it I just saw it on Netflix and watched whole season in 2 days I couldn’t get enough of it and leaving the ending like that really sucks
I’m very disappointed that the tv series the gates was cancelled. I thought the series was awesome and I would have loved to see a second season.
Should do a movie to conclude the series. This way the people who loved the series can get an ending they can live with. Thank you
I would really love to see a second season of this awesome show!
Second season has so much potential I would love to see it!
Such a disappointment they had to cancel it . I actually liked it a lot . And the finale made it more interesting . They should give it another go . Just like OSTNB , they should have it as a Netflix series .
I so agree. It was the best I have ever seen. I actually started crying because it was so heart warming. I would pay good money to see the second season.
