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?

You have to be kidding me – I love this show – BRING IT BACK!!!!
I’ve just finshed the gates seing it on the internet, and how awesome i found this show. I’m so sad and nervous because i wanted to know WHAT IS GONNA HAPPEN AFTER?
Do you think there is a way they continue this show later? I hope it would meet a lot of success on the internet…
yer thats a lil ********, bring the show back for onather season… this shows better den 80% of **** on tv, why cant yous cancel NCIS or someshit like that. good show and should be given a second season, or at least realse it on more chanels n let people see the first season before u make a decision to cancel it, i didnt even know it was on abc i saw the previews on fox 8 n got a friend to get me a copy great show.
The Gates was a well-written and acted show for adults. I’m an avid fan of supernatural shows and this was one of the best. VERY disappointed you didn’t give it a chance.
That seems to happen a lot enjoying a show & they cancel but then they leave crymmy shows on.
The Gates isn’t back but Trueblood is… Did ABC ever intend to bring it back?? The ratings aren’t good, but they lined it up with shows that already have a loyal customer base. It should have been scheduled for a different night. Sounds like they tanked it intentionally…..for perhaps…another show to come on this season, as…a favor. The Gates was GOOD. Now of course….I do this (marketing, scheduling etc) for a living – they never wanted to keep the show from jump street.
been waiting months for this to come back on! Bad move ABC=(
PLEASE bring back The Gates. I looked forward to watching it and now my year has been spoilt knowing that there will be no further episodes to look forward to.
For once, a an entertaining and somewhat sophisticated mystery, sci-fi, monster show for adults and you guys cancel it. Let me guess, the need for more stupid alleged “realty” shows. Have you forgotten your audience who have some sort of independent brain power?
PLEASEEEEEE BRINGGG ITTTT BACCCKKKKK IM BEGGING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ABC always cancels the good shows!ABC sucks
Really bummed this series was canceled. I loved it! Bring it back!
I really really loved this show, but as always it has to be canceled because of low ratings, the show wasn’t around long enough for more people to get into it. ABC or some other network needs to bring it back, it was a million times better than half this crap on tv
Please bring back The Gates. It was a great show. I couldn’t wait to watch it every week. I hate to really get into a new show and then it gets cancelled. Thanks alot ABC. You didn’t even give it a chance.
I can’t believe you are cancelling The Gates . I watched it every week and thought it was a great show. It’s seems that every time you really get into a really
GREAT show, it gets cancelled.hamks
