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?

This totally sucks! I really loved the show and was all into it. I hate it when stuff like this happens and we can’t do anything about it. Or is there something we can do and I just don’t know it!
the gates was one of my favourite shows…why cancell it…end some of the shows that are dragging on for years
this is bs i loved the gates
Thanks ABC, for yet again canceling an awesome show. This was my favorite new show, and it wasn’t even given a chance. I hate ABC!
I’m so bummed!! I was just searching around to see when the second season was going to start! BRING IT BACK! It was a great show!! 🙁
I am so upset. This is one show my hubby and I really liked!! help someone bring it back.
Great show. So annoying how these short-term series keep getting cancelled with no closure.
Are you serious?! This is the one show that I was looking forward to. I just can’t believe that we keep shows about matchmaking millionaires, brides who fight for plastic surgery and 16 year olds who get pregnant so they can be on tv, yet we cancel a great show with excellent actors and even better writing. Who in the hell makes these decisions anyway?! I sincerely hope that there is still a chance to bring the show back because I absolutely loved it.
I AM APPAULED! the gates was great……… abc and nbc both need to get the heads out of the clouds and give these shows some time to thrive and attract viewers before canceling these series. THE GATES could have attracted the hype of twilight in due time.
Awe man another awsome show canceled. I loved this show more then true blood. It has everything to like. Plus I need to know what happens wit Charlie. And Devon. And the randclifs. Please please bring it back.
I am not surprised ABC has cancelled another great show. If the show doesn’t rank number one in the time slot, they cancel it!!! They need to give it another season and let word by mouth sell it. People are looking for a good show to watch and will tell their friends when they find it. This show would have been number one if given a chance. You missed out ABC!!! As you can see people, including me, loved the show and are sad to see it go!!!!
that show was so great id wait all week long just to watch it it made sence so you should bring it back we have enough hospital shows we need something like the gates to make us sit and watch
kind of sad- I really liked this show…
The gates has not aired in my city; Singapore yet. But I had watched it online and it is absolutely awesome! I hope you guys would make a second season.
Hell yeah it’s way better than hell cats, it’s also way better than any other vampire tv serial; Buffy, or vampire diaries.
I want to know what will happen to Devon and Charlie. And the seccubus? She got out of the gates, does that mean she’ll survive? Oh.. So much qn still unsolved.
Please male the second season 😀
pls plss! bring back the gates !!!!!!!!
