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?

We loved this show! Lots of excitement & a great storyline! Please come back!!!!
GAWD!!! THIS STINKS!!!! ABC SUCKS!!!!!
I loved The Gates!!!
You know if a network is going to cancel a show the least they could do is put the second season on DVD so they can wrap up all the story lines they got us hooked on.. Cause I tell ya what.. Do this crap does not make me like ABC any any other new show they want us hooked on.!!!!
Bring it back ABC!!!!!
I am devastated that The Gates will not be returning for a 2nd season. I really enjoyed season 1. Why is it that when you find an excellent programme that you can really get into someone pulls the plug. I want it brought back as this was an excellent and extraordinarily superb series the like of which does not come along too often. Please, the powers that be reconsider and bring The Gates back for another season.
This sucks, i just wish another network would pick it up that would prove to abc that they r making a huge mistake letting this one go….i won’t be watching abc actually it was the only show on that network that i did watch….c ya abc!!!
This sucks!!!! My husband and I also loved The Gates… I was really excited for the next season… ABC You Suck!!
I love this Show! Cant believe it go canceld! i blame it on the Time Slot! Either way major bummer!
Me and my wife are and were big fans of ‘The Gates’. It ws the oly show in over the past 10 years that we looked forward to sharing. I am very dissappointed that this show ahs been cancelled and hope that someday it will be continued with the same casting. What a let down!
Screw ABC and all the other channels that cancel shows after their first season! Just because people are like “oh, it’s just another stupid vampire show” no it’s not. it is so much better than twilight or true blood or vampire diaries or any of that ****. This show had a lot of potential. And I wish show networks would stop cancelling shows when there are still some people who want to know what happens. If you really can’t continue the show… At least have one more season to wrap it up, or have like one 5 hour finale episode… Read more »

“The Gates”…Rest in Peace !!!! Thanks a lot to ABC, Big Exec’s in front office REALLY SUCK !!!!!!! A lot of us ( The Viewers ) won’t be watching ABC anymore !!!!!! Hey ABC……BITE THE BIG ONE !!!!!
WON’T be watching ACB anytime soon… Which doesn’t matter because NBC… CBS… TNT still have great shows to watch.
Loved the gates!!! So
Sad to see it go. I think it just needed more publicity!!
I think this really sucks! Every damn time I get involved in a series that I enjoy the network seems to cancel it. What is wrong with this picture! I wish we could do something to get Syf to pick this up for all of us die hard fans!
Same here! it’s bull****. There are so many shows that that happens to with me
I was thinking about it being first of the year and I was wondering when my favorite new show was coming back on so I decided to goggle only to find out that ABC has decided to cancel my show. I don’t usually like this type of show but I LOVED THE GATES! Why, why did you have to cancel, why not give it one more season to see what the ratings were, I just don’t think you gave it enough time. I guess this is why more and more people are starting to watch cable shows……. Thanks for listening… Read more »
great tv show; that just goes to show you how much the guys behind a desk in ABC know about a good show. Really great show; I certainly won’t be watching ABC for a long long time.
