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?

Just saw this on Netflix… 7 years after it aired I’m bummed there is only 1 season! It was a really good show, maybe ahead of its time. Netflix should pick it up where it left off.
I’m so hurt honestly someone told me to give this series a watch thought it was new but realised it was from 2010 can’t believe they would cancel something so interesting I love the show I’ve been hunting the second season and then I saw the cancel notice
This show should come back! It had a great story plot. It was really interesting to watch. My friends and I are extremely disappointed. We loved all the characters. Can’t believe a good show like this was cancelled and there are so many shows still playing that are not even as good as this! Super LAME! Maybe they can pick off where they left of and make more seasons!! There is nothing good to watch anymore.
They need to add a second season they left the last episode a cliff hanger so they have to bring it back. If they don’t all I’ll be thinking about is why they made the last episode a Cliff hanger!!!!!!
Man that some bull crap I loved the show they need to come back on
This show is awesome. The only reason it had low ratings is bc most of the younger viewers only watch internet media. I’ve never even heard of it till it was added to Netflix. Everyone I talked to liked it and thought it was a new show. It’s January 2018. Maybe Netflix will start it back up
I just finished the show and im sad its gone. I really wanted to see what happened to charlie and everyone else. Sorry to hear it wont be back. Wish that would change though
There should be another season at least!
Seems like every show that’s similar to the gates are either cancelled or characters not coming back for good. What about what the fans thinks? Ratings are great, but #TheGates fans are in love with the show. Seems as if even we write our opinions down it doesn’t matter. Whoever decided to give The Gates bad ratings they technically don’t know what they’re missing
PLEEEEEEASE MAKE A S2!!!
Just finished watching the whole first season..So sad to hear that it is canceled.. Super Fan of the Super unnatural..
I’m just now watching the gates but it was a good show and I was upset that there wasn’t but one season it was very good!
I thought this was a good tv program. I would love to see a season 2. the way it ended seems like there should be another season. I want to know what happens next since he was brought back to life with dark magic.
Oh my godddd no way this can notttt be done! We are all left hanging from the last episode I finally found “that one” show and it’s now gone! Pleaseee bring it back this is honestly horrible I feel like my heart got take out like lees and ran over a million times!☠️
Definitely need a season 2
I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS SHOW! PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!
