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 just got the chance to watch the whole season and i am ready for more. i am disappointed i guess for now i will miss all ABC series dont know when it will be cancelled when you are very into it. what has charlie become?
I thought The Gates was a really really great show. I got my husband to watch it and he loved it too. When I told him it was cancelled he said “this is why I don’t like to start watching new tv series because they always get cancelled…” . This is the 3rd series we started watching that we really liked alot and they all have been cancelled after the first season…it’s kinda hard to decide what to do… Just stop watching new shows, wait til the 2nd season to start watching it? If everyone thought that way no show… Read more »
i cant believe it i found another great show and they cut it. i live in australia and this is what we all watch escpecially the teens. if the gate actually showed here everyone will love it. like they love hellcats, pritty little liers and the vampire diaries. so come on and put it back on and bring it to aus
I lOOOOVed the Gates… They should bring it back…probably the only show I watch on ABC.
DITTO …. everytime I get hooked on a series they cancel it…. well time to cancel ABC from my TV !
What the heck ABC? I LOVED this show! My husband and I watched it EVERY Sunday! The story line was so amazing…sigh. I’m screaming my head off right now! OMG!
just looked up to see when the second season was starting and found out it was cancelled. I thought it was a pretty good show – lots of action and sub stories to keep it interesting. very disappointed it was only around for one year…..
Seriously gutted, this show had serious promise, ABC you suck!!! Stop making 12 episode programmes and keep one running!!!
I am really disapointed with ABC. It seems that everytime I just get into a show and am sooooooo excited for every episode the decide to cancel it. They put the same old lame shows back on every season. How many episodes of 20/20 can a person watch. They are all the same, rich dr. kills his loving wife/ cheating wife kills her great husband for freedom and money. And really The bachelor? How many seasons does one need of some idiot making out with 20 women only to choose one at the end, have some hot scandel and break… Read more »
I’ve been waiting for season two, that’s why i did a search to see when it was going to begin…I”M SO DISAPPOINTED, DARN,DARN,DARN!!!!!
I AM SOOOOOOOOO UPSET!!!! Finally, a show with “monsters” that is intelligent, entertaining and sophisticated and you had to go and cancel it. You know, your so-called ratings are a bunch of crap! This show is just as good, if not better, than “V”! At least you brought it back! I am with the others……….
……BRING IT BACK!!!!……..BRING IT BACK!!!!!……….BRING IT BACK!!!!!!…….
I can’t believe ABC. They continue to cancel unique, quality, thought-provoking series (e.g., Jericho, The Traveler, Journey Man) and keep bringing back trash (e.g., Cougar Town, The Middle, Grey’s Anatomy). It’s obvious to me what kind of people run ABC and what audience they are targeting. The station has dropped from being the one I used to watch almost exclusively to the one I watch least in the evening. Get a clue ABC! (At least you brought V back.)
U just have to bring the gates back. it is awesome
ABC, CAN’T EVEN BELIEVE YOU!!!! “GATES,” surely another station will pick YOU up! If this was on in the fall or winter or spring it would have been crazy popular. In the summer people are busy and at ball games and not home and don’t have time to watch stuff. You are canceling a terrific show. “The GATES” is one of my favorite shows EVER!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SAY IT AIN’T SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAccckkkkkk!!!! That is me screaming when I just found out that “The Gates” won’t be coming back! Seriously?????? I’ve been wondering when it will start again and googled this SAD piece of news. I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!! I looked so forward to it every week. The actors were all top notch. I hate that it’s not coming back. There were so many things left unanswered. What was in “the box”???? and other stuff.
BRING IT BACK!!!!!!!! BRING IT BACK!!!!!!!!! BRING IT BACK!!!!!! BRING IT BACK!!!!!!
