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?

As usual Netflix gets the show late.., so I just watched it. This show is sooooo interesting could not believe that there was no s2. I really hope us netflix watchers will be recognized. LOVE “THE GATES”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope its not too late.
whyyyyyyyy? this show was amazing!!!
I just watched the show on Netflix. I had never heard about it prior which means it wasn’t well publicized to begin with. It’s so disappointing to finally find a show worth watching only to find out its been cancelled. It had such a great cast and story line, I was looking forward to watching season 2 until I googled it and found out it had been cancelled. If there’s any chance of bringing it back, please do! And might I suggest leaving it on Netflix? If views were the problem, I can assure you that will not be the… Read more »
I like the gates and me and many others that I know of don’t have TV to watch ABC so I didn’t get to start watching it till it hit Netflix I personally think it should be brought back and put on Netflix right away it would get Alot more views that way.
Please bring back the show, I will have my father wich is a wealth investor, provide money for the show. I know this seems like that is stupid to do but, I have the money. Please contact me I want to see how this plays out. If not aired on tv why not just leave it on Netflix. @ryan1kirk1@gmail.com
Please bring season 2 back. The gates was a great series
Why is it i fined an excellent written show and it gets cancelled. Im so sorry to see such an excellent cast & actor’s be put aside by so called “ratings “.
For what it’s worth maybe this writer will write a series on the Gate… I’d be the first in line to keep my watering appetite satisfied!
I just watched The Gates on Netflix.It was was one loves the story line. The actors where suburb. The last episode left a bad taste in my mouth. What the heck did Devin turn Charlie into. Most networks at lease end the show correctly. The Gates just left everything up in the air.
This show was sooooo good! I really feel like the marketing team is the reason the show didn’t do well. The plot, actors, and visuals were so perfect! Had they promoted the show correctly I could have seen it going on to at least 5 seasons! So sad. Such a loss, especially since there are so many crap shows on the air in comparison. Bring it back!!!
I wish they would have continued the show, it’s a great story. If it was due to airtime as to why there wasn’t another season some people just don’t have cable but watches the show on other sources.
am soo upset that there wont be a season 2 for the gates. how can such an awesome show be cancelled and not getting enough rating …….although I hoped there would be more season even just up to season 3 would be good but one am really sad…..but I must say I did extremely enjoy the season I only wished they would do one more I really …….I loved all the characters in the show they all did a really great job with playing the role of their character I love everyone in the show congrats to all of you… Read more »
So I’m upset, I really wanted to see what happens with Charlie and his weird from the beyond witch powers. I love the show and all the characters, even our antagonist intrigued me to no end, Mad as hell its not returning, but again, I loved it and cant wait to see what all the Cast and Crew come out with next. P.S Love you DEV, and its a waste of money to buy a DVD with only one season on it. So Nah my Netflix Favs will have to do,
I love this show wish it got a season 2 great concept and writing
I loved the show. Actually sat and watched the series in one day. Why did they cancel it? Not enough viewers? I NEVER saw a commercial for it at all! If they are planning on canceling a TV show, why can’t they make one more show to end it. At least don’t leave us hanging in the wind wondering how it would have ended. Morons.
I said the same thing, never seen any publicity about it, and they wonder why they didn’t get views lmao
I sincerley wish it had been renewed. It left us up in the air about what Devon did to Charlie. Did she link herself to him? I enjoyed it very much. Thank you
And i quote “I said I can bring him back, I never said he’d be the same”. So who knows what she did gosh I wish I did know.
