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?

Omg!!I love the gates!! I’m heart broken please bring me another season
Please we need a season 2
I was devastated that there was no season 2, I started watching the show and I fell in love, I really really hope that some day I get to watch season two!
This is seriously sad to hear! Like this is by far The best supernatural tv shows I’ve seen!!! I watched the complete season 1 on Netflix!! You all can’t go by ratings b/c I personally like to watch all episodes at once! So that I won’t miss nothing!! Pls bring this show back with the same cast!!!
Really good show, I had to look up to see if there was going to be a season 2 right after finishing the last episode. I am sadden to see that there is no season 2 especially with the way that it ended.
This is the second show that I watched where I was hoping to find a season two, but there was none.
Bring the show back, I fell in love. Please bring it back!! The tv show had me up all night and couldn’t wait until I got off work to come home to watch. It’s just a great show that should make its way back.
This series is easily in my top 5…truly amazing ! the way it ended was like damn! It even shocked the dead (vampires) .there has to be a season 2.. if ABC won’t air it try AMC. We must start a petition
I loved season 1 and i was really looking forward to seeing season 2 and it sucks the show was cancelled the cast worked really hard. I just hope someone will come to their sinces and think about making or choose to make season 2. I personally wanted to see what happened to charlie when he was transformed into that (THING OR SUPERHUMAN). Come to think i wonder what thoughts were going through Nicks (FRANK GRILLO’s) mind in the last episode when he was pushed so far back by charlie???!!!
Please bring this show back!
this just plains sucks to cancel
Wow. It’s sad to say that I just heard about this show and watched the whole 1st season on Netflix. I absolutely love it. I really wish more seasons would be aired.
I’m very disappointed that your not making a second season. I started watching it on Netflix and was hooked in the first 10 minutes of the show. In my opinion you can’t end the show for one its amazing and I could watch it all day everyday and you ended season one with a cliff hanger lead people to think you were going to make a second season. I think it would be in your best interest to make a second season. I hope you take what I’m saying into consideration into making a second season.
Thanks,
Aliegha
Just got through watching this on Netflix. There needs to be more seasons.
I really wish this show would come back out its been years and I’m tired of waiting
Omg I just got done with sea s on 1 and I am a look bummed t here will be no season2!!! This is a great show with an extremely talented cast!!! I am so sad!!
