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?

There’s nothing like finding an awesome show like “The Gates” and thinking, “Wow, this is the best series ever”, just to get to the end of the first season cliffhanger and find out it got cancelled!! This is why people don’t get invested in so many new series these days! I wish another network, or even Netflix would pick up shows like these that have so much potential and give viewers a chance to show them that just because our lives are busy, and we can’t always catch the prime time airing, it doesn’t mean we don’t want to watch… Read more »
Dudes….best show ever!!!!! I just finished on netflix and there are NO more seasons? ??? Wait what???? Someone is crazy because its better than anything on tv now. Soooooo sad!!!
I love this series! OMG why not continue with a second series?
One of the best shows on tv in 2010….my family and I were saddened by it axing!
We still talk about The Gates to this day and how much we enjoyed it….now we miss it!
I am highly disappointed that this show has come to an end. I just recently found out that there wasn’t going to be a second season for this show and I’ve been wandering if there ever was going to be one, thanks to Google I just found out there is NOT going to be one. What I find ridiculous is that this show didn’t get ratings as needed but all these disagreements and confusion statements show that there were enough people watching this show to keep it on air. For the people who were associated with taking this show down… Read more »
I also just finished season one. Cannot imagine that this show did not have good ratings. Left with many unanswered questions. Would like to think some where out there someone is willing to pick up and shoot season 2!! This is the first time ever that I was so in love with a TV series that I am actually begging for the next season! If that can’t be done, at least give us a conclusion.
Please come back love it
Just finished season 1 today on Netflix. This is one show that certainly was a nail biter and never boring. I gave it a 5 star rating but guess I’m a little late. Just found out it was cancelled and there won’t be a season 2. Now I’m left wondering what is happening to Nicks son, etc. to many unanswered questions. My vote is if season 2 was made…..but cancelled on ABC still put Season 2 on Netflix.
Needs to come back on TV. Love it
Hey I hops that u guys won’t cancel the gates I just started watching it and I finished it and I can’t believe that this show hasn’t got a lot of stars I can’t believe I haven’t seen it plz get back to me because I really don’t want it to end at all nether does my family we all love it so plz don’t cancel the show plz
We were too late. For those of us who don’t have cable anymore we never knew about the show until Netflix so graciously brought it to us. I hope Netglix continues to grab entertaining shows like The Gates for its viewers. I just now would like Netflix to go an extra step with agreeing to continue production for network canceled shows. Networks may not have the funding to keep shows on the air but …hmm I wonder if Netflix could??
Yall do realize the show was canceled 6 years ago right?
we all love this show so you should really make more seasons of this show do just leave off where you did come back to the tv world
I 100% agree with u they should make more seasons
This is pretty stupid it shluld nkt be on netflix or nothing if it ends at a cliff hanger .tbh its a great show but it shuld not be canceled
This was a great show they need to continue it try to move to another network or go straight to netflix
They really do I really hope that they do
Love the show . Please make more seasons to come. ABC Please.
