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?

The Gates was a great show. Bring it back!!!
I asgree, ABC gets you interested in a show..then swoop they take it away! IF your not gonna stick with it then dont put it out there! That is unfair to us as fans, patrons and customers. I am udderly dissapointed. I have been waiting for The Gates to come back on decided to get online today to look..then nothing..SHOW CANCELLED!! This show had a lot of potential. I DVR’d all the epsiodes and watched them after the last one aired. I really think ABC should re consider bring this show back. I would rather have greys anatomy cancelled then… Read more »
oooh my gash !! it very nice chow !! but please be harry up to the second season
Enjoyed the show. The problem was the storyline needed to be more mysterious/ Blame the shows demise on the writers
this sucks! i expected a second season after i watched the last episode… and now they’ve already cancelled season 2 of the gates??…. I’m disappointed!
I want season 2!!! there should be a second season for the gates!!!
bring back The gates From Australia
Are you kidding me?
This ended at the biggest cliff hanger, ever.
I’ve been so dedicated to watching this show, I even got friends to watch; the plot was so well thought out, and I was/am devastated that they cancelled it. Why not bring it back for one more season? Just to wrap it up? Or perhaps just film it and put it on DVD? Let me tell you, I know I’d buy it, no matter what the price.
Bring Gates back!
I am LIVID that this show is cancelled!! At first it took time to grow on me just because I was trying to fully understand each character in the beginning, but after a few weeks, I was HOOKED!! I never missed one episode, and I am extremely disappointed that it is gone!! I was waiting to see what would happen next, especially with the teens that ran away!! I am wondering if you guys can go viral with the show instead??? Like on a site or something, but that is if the cast is willing to do something like this,… Read more »
Loved the GATES, sorry to see it wasn’t a big hit!,
I loved it. Why is it all the good series get cancelled after one season. True ratings affect the future of shows but it one day it will get to the point where we just stop watching completely because we know inevitably that as long as we enjoy it too much it WILL get cancelled.
BRING IT BACK PLEASE!
At least finish the stories and sell it on DVD if you can’t air it on tv. That’s not fair that we got sucked in and invested in this show and you don’t even finish the story.
I think it sucks that The Gates will not be back for a second season !! It was an awesome show !!
This is typical from ABC. They put on great shows every season, and then cancel them. If they have to that, they should just make them a season long show….WITH AN ENDING. But no….they like to leaving us hanging and wanting more. I loved the show and will miss it, along with all the others they cancelled.
Bring It Back On. How can you just leave it hanging like that
