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?

i
I said the exact same thing! I can’t believe I never heard of his show up until Netflix just added as a suggesion
So sick of networks putting new shows on get ppl hooked then stop the show its freaking stupid
I thank it’s very stupid that they cancelled the gates it was a very good TV show that I wanted to see Laura I really think you should stay on the air and on Netflix I want to see more of it they need to bring it back I really like the show more than you could even imagine
The Gates must have not been well advertised in 2010, I just found it this year on Netflix! I was very intrigued ever since the first episode, I feel that the show wasn’t even given a fair advantage to be known. Just when it was getting good, CHARLIE has “POWERS” and now the Family wouldn’t be able to move out as they intended, how would this affect Andie in her situation?, how would this affect the community within the gates? SO MANY QUESTIONS! Although I am really sad to see the show stop without ending I appreciate the cast, and… Read more »
I never knew it existed until looking around on Netflix, started watching it, saw all 13 episodes . I’m very disappointed that there’s no ending just left it hanging . I found the show to be very entertaining. I don’t think it was advertised enough for people to even realize it was on. It would be nice if you can finish the show off , was 100 times better then these ridiculous reality shows !
I was so bummed to find out that there was only one season! I truly enjoyed the show and loved the cast! Too bad the networks don’t give shows a chance anymore before they just dumo them. I never even saw one commercial advertising this show, I found it on Netflix once it was already cancelled.
Sad….
Ugh, I swear every show I really like ends up cancelled after a season or so…. I just found this on Netflix and watched the entire season in like two days…. I was so disappointed to find out it only lasted one season. It was an awesome season and the ending left room for a great start to a second season please bring it back….. Along with so many other greats shows abc has cancelled. Maybe there just needs to be better advertising for these shows so more people will watch cause I guarantee if they start watching they won’t… Read more »
