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?

I dont know why interesting shows like this are being cancelled dont you guys think of the viewers reaction before you make desicions like this how the hell will it get a rating now if its being cancelled at the first season could not even go to the third i dont know why abc is like this. This is not the first time they are cancelling a season if they this is what they are going to be doing they should not run at all and give others who can do it well
Very very upset with ABC as of late!! LOVED this show…intensely captivating! Hope to see a lot more from all the cast crew! One of my favorite series!
I loved the gates. That’s awful. :-(.
ahh come on, why? this was a really good t.v. series for those of us who likes fantasy drama. It had the makings of it all. It is really to bad some other channel wouldn’t pick it up (hint,hint) please listen to us!
Please, please, please bring back The Gates!!!!!
I LOVED this series. GOD what a bunch of idiots. They only canceled cuz the bigwigs(greedy jerks) didnt make billions of dollars off of the series. HOW CAN WE FIRE THOSE GREEDY BUTTHEADS!!!!!!!!! PUT THE SHOW BACK ON AND AT LEAST END IT RIGHT DONT LEAVE US HANGING.
I loved the series,it is a shame that it was cancel.Please dont cancel it. I agree about another channel picking it up. I WANT TO SEE SEASON 2. You left us hanging..I want to know what happen..Why did you cancel?
The gates was amazing!!! A very interesting show where you did not know what would happen next….Sad to see it go. They should make another season because today people don’t have the time to actually sit down and watch it on TV, so they might miss the whole entire first season, and watch on online later and love it. So I don’t think that the rating are entirely correct, because a lot of people started watching the Gates a bit later and probably didn’t get to put their stake into the ratings.
Ok, so I came online to see when the new season was starting so I wouldn’t miss a thing and I find THIS!! I’m rotted!!! First Moonlight! and now this!! I hate it, I get interested in an awesome show and now I’ll never know what happens! Grrrr!
Was so eager for another series! Hopefully it will be picked up by another tv programer!
I know, the show was very interesting and that would be quite cool if they did put it on the CW channel after the vampire diaries or on another night. Maybe that was the problem with ratings the fact that it was on sunday
it NEEDS to come back what the hell am i suppose to watch on sunday!?!? The gates should just go on the channle where the vampire diaries is on because i LOVE The Gates and i planed on buying the seasons!!!! so please please please BRING it BACK. thank you
fugures another show i liked they cancel it why dont they take a poll on it borefore they cancel things it all cabel tv now and we do not have cabel tv they take off all the good things and keep on some really dumb one
why is the Gates not returning? at least finish the story line, i can’t believe this didnt get good ratings. Who made this decision to cancel? does the audience count for anything? we love the story like please reconsider.
I would like to see the managers of ABC fired and the cast of The Gates move to FOX and start season 2. The actors and actresses were all one !#% of a cast!
