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?

Sorry that this show is not coming back….. I enjoyed it….
WTF!!! C’mon! I looked forward to this show every Sunday night! Just googles to see when Season 2 was coming on and found this. FYI.. ABC You SUCK. And CBS you SUCK too! You took away Ghost WHisper! All the good shows are bringing canceled! And yall are keeping the dull and boring shows on! Get a clue please! And bring it back!
I wish they would put it back on, our family Loved that show, maybe they could try to put it on another night or somthing, Everytime they get a good show it winds up cancelled it is getting ridiculous, anyone who likes the Twilight series would Love The Gates. Put it back on, it did not even end right, to be a Finale anyway.
WTF you can do that to us now!!!!
I just heard about this show and have been watching all the episodes all weekend. I can’t get enough of this show………..I AM BEGGING PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!!!
My husband and I just got online to see when the new season would start, only to find that there is no 2nd season….Wow! I cannot believe this series is not coming back!!! For not being a movie channel series, this was one of the best series on t.v. It had the mystery, sex appeal and fantastic actors!!! If ABC won’t bring it back then HBO needs to!!!!
I loved the series, and you know what??? Starting a series and then cancelling it….it’s getting really annoying!!!! I mean, we had Flashforward, Jericho, The 4400, Heroes and God knows jow many more……..The Walking Dead, they’re bringing it back next year (IF)……………..bla bla bla!!! I’m sick of it!!!
I absolutely loved the show..the intrigue was fabulous and had you on the edge of your seat at all times..the writers were imaginative and very creative..the actors were among the most fabulous! It will be a terrible miss. Please give us a final movie at least! If anything!
**** abc bring d show back u cnt cancle a shw like dat we in nigeria are craze abt dat shw
I loved this show!!! I would watch it every week, when it was on i was obsessed! I’m so sad that they canceled it…..please bring it back?!!
So sad!!! My family LOVED this show…..
So disappointed – I really liked this show – one of the few shows on tv that I followed. Come on ABC, give it a chance!!!!!!!!
We’re sorry to see it go – loved the show. Too bad it got cancelled – we tuned in every week and looked forward to every episode…….. Just a word to ABC: Seriously?
We taped The Gates everytime it was on! We absolutely 100% loved this show. Between this, True Blood and The Vampire Diaries it’s a great time for TV! Please….we are begging please bring back The Gates! We need shows like this!
I agree with Thomas. I loved this show and am mad that ABC cancelled it. Especially after they left us hanging with the way they ended season one. I couldn’t wait for season two to see what was going to happen next. I hate how these networks tease us with these new shows and then cancel them without giving them a real chance. This is why I don’t really watch any of the shows on ABC anymore.
BRING IT BACK! i loved the gates just searched for it then got online and found it was canceled that sucks and is stupid so again BRING IT BACK!
