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?

Please bring the Gates back !! Great show and very addicting. I can’t believe they won’t give it a try again. It was on in the Summer where a lot of people are outside and not watching TV but if it was on in the fall, I believe it would be a great hit !! Reconsider Please !
I was waiting for “The Gates” to return. Very, very disappointed. It was a great show!
ABC, you might want to rethink this one for sure!
I absolutely loved this 1st series and was all excited and googled to find out when the next season would start but like all good shows, this one too was canceled because it was different and enjoyable….The dont mind keeping real life shows which can be mind numbing at the best of times but gives us a little enjoyment, then they take it away. Give back the gates I want to know what happens to Charlie!!!!!!
Im soooooooooooooooo UPSET…………can it be true that The Gates has ended, no way the cast was superb and amazing it was like watching Desperate houswives meets Underworld…………..loved it
So sorry to hear the Gates was cancelled. I was really looking forward to seeing what happened next!
Plzzzzzzzzzzzz bring the show back!!
This is why I look at the cable channels, because, what’s the point? Prime time channels have shows that make father time bored. It stinks. The way it ended was a waste of film. My vcr is still programmed to that time slot. Something worth watching, shot to hell. Oh well. The dvd serves no purpose, it will only remind me of what ABC should have given a chance.
I also hope another channel will pick this up.
Seriously… I was looking up to see when the Gates would come back on for season 2, to find out that it had been Cancelled. I had this show ranked up there with Gray’s Anatomy. The Show kept getting better and better. I loved all the characters and loved the suspense of where it may go. You got to bring this show back. This is crazy to cancelled. Don’t get if it was due to the ratings. almost everyone I knew watched this and we would talk about the show. I bet a lot of people don’t know that this… Read more »
may cry and die now. ;(
It never ceases to amaze me when networks cancel the best show they’ve had in a long time (I honestly can’t remember the last time I watched channel 10 before The Gates). Too bad it was only one season because you know CW39 or some other cable station will pick it up. Why would ABC premiere this in the summer? Everyone expects re-runs — it’s like ABC set this show up to fail on purpose. Of course the ratings weren’t high — had this been in the new fall line-up when people know to look for great new shows, it… Read more »
Lis I so agree with what your comment said. they got this one all wrong. they just let what could have been a huge hit go. What a shame.

i fount the show by accident on projectfreetv. i couldn’t stop watching untl i watched the whole season
It’s a shame they cancelled this show.. I was really looking forward to season 2.
I am really, really upset this is cancelled. My hubby and I couldn’t wait to watch it. I can’t believe it did not get the rating.
I can’t believe this I loved this show. What can we do to change this outcome! Bring THE GATES back right now! Please
