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?

Lamentable decison, yo si queria ver sus series el drama muy bueno me parecii muy interesante la propuesta no creo q x cosas lancen solo una temporada y hagan ilusionar q habra otra hubieran mejor no publicado nada y no se ganen esas criticas ahora si lo publican deben continuar no dejarlo a medias -.- quiero de vuelta a the gates
We don’t know what type of creature Charlie turned into so dudes u guys cancelled the gates because of ratings then wow I’m weak then
The Gates was great. damn why you people make a good show then let it go
Great Show and disappointed that no season 2. Funny how these writers come up with great work and then just literally “QUIT”. ABC, NBC CBS doesnt matter who they are, cracks me up that they cancel shows that are actually really good and enjoyable. Im beginning to lose my faith and get rid of my TV bec there isnt anything good to watch anymore. So either the writers or the TV stations need to come up with something better and fullfilling or your as its happening now will lose alot more viewers. Me and my family, friends, neighbors, ect… being… Read more »
I just finished THE GATES on Netflix….omg I totally love it ! I love the characters and the writing is great ! I so wish you’d bring it back or Netflix pick it up asap! I can’t believe how it ended …I love movies /series like this I can’t get enough ! Please bring it back !
I’m still aggravated that you didn’t have a n end. If it was going to be canceled, you shouldn’t have left your viewers hanging. It was a great show. If it had come out after Twilight became popular it might have had another season.
Im really upset that this show have been cancelled because I feel in lobe with the show And with the cast to it was such a great show I’m miss it I just finished season 1 and in the end I was crying how can y’all end like that I wish there were more season
what the ….. the gates was xcitng I cant believe this
I just got the opportunity to watch The Gates. I loved it . You need to bring it back . It’s cool how everyone is brought together. Enjoy enjoy something different. Look how everyone loved the show . If not at least finish the show . Still not sure why you cancel the show . It’s sad on how you ended the show . Thanks .
I cant believe they canceled the gates. I loved this show and only just finished watching it on Netflix. I don’t have cable so I miss a lot of good shows until Netflix gets it. I hated the cliffhanger and was hoping it would have continued..ugh I am so bumbed. with the way season one ended, season 2 would have been awesome. it needs to come back and continue where it left off
What an enormous bummer. I loved the show. I watch many shows similar to this and i tell you this was superb. The acting good and stories also. It got weirder and weirder,in a good way. I do not get it why people didn’t watch it. Nick reminded me of rick on the walking dead.
I love this show and to cancel it on a cliff hanger is horrible. Netflixx please bring it back after getting new viewers hooked on it.
I enjoyed the show so much I want to see it come back
I really loved the show and would love to see it come back for season two
love the gates i need to now what happens next
