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 GUYS SUCK ANOTHER ONE OF MY SHOWS CANCELLED!! ALONG WITH HEROES, TERMINATOR, PUSHING DAISES, FLASH FORWARD, ETC. THESE TV PEOPLE I THINK ARE IDIOTS WHY DONT THEY GET RID OF THESE STUPID REALITY SHOWS AND I AGREE THERE ARE TOOO MANY COP CRIME AND HOSPITAL SHOWS ON. ALL THE GOOD SHOWS ARE BEING CANCELLED!!!!
I really liked Flash Forward too and Eastwick!! I guess if it’s not a cop,hospital, or reality show it doesn’t stand a chance
I really don’t watch a lot of tv shows because I never have time, but this was one show I made time for. I can’t believe they cancelled it!!!
I decided to watch The Gates after the season finale of The Vampire Diaries…I just had to have something to watch! And I liked The Gates. At first I thought maybe it would be a flop, but it brought up my expectations and I began to scarcely wait for each new episode.
It’s too bad that it won’t be continuing.
I think they’re crazy for canceling this show, my friends,sisters and myself are not going to
bother watching any other shows that ABC puts out
because they just cancel when they feel like it
and don’t give a rats butt about the fans.
I’m suggesting everyone else do the same with the next show they put out.
It’s not right, and It sucks.!!
THE GATES canceled? One of my favorite series. ABC, you had a winner with this one. Poor decision.
u guys at abc a complete wankers it hasnt even hit hear in australia yet and trust me it going to be gig here but 10 pm on sunday wat a stupid time to put it on so wat no more **** like the real house wives of atlantic city or jersy shores smon these shows are **** and have good times slots
I’m really upset that you guys cancelled yet another good show. You never really gave it a chance, how do you expect to get viewers when you put it on in the summer. Most people are too busy in the summer to watch TV, had you put it on in the fall then I’m sure you would have gotten a very different response.
This is sad this show was really getting good at the end and they cancel it. I really enjoyed it, but like Eastwick down it went.
I can’t believe they cancelled The Gates. That really Sucks !! We were all waiting for season 2. It always seems the crappy show stay on and the ones that are good get cancelled. Go figure.
The Gates was the most AWESOME show EVER ! Why would you cancel this show. I agree with the Anonymous comment above, if you put it in an earlier time slot you might find more people watching it. My husband and I made sure we were home and ready EVERY Sunday night to watch The Gates and have patiently been waiting for Season 2 to come on and now I see it has been cancelled. ABSOLUTELY DUMB DECISION ! But just like all these other large companies there were probably some uneducated, pea-sized, illiterate so-called “BIG WIGS” making this decision… Read more »
I agree, I am so sick of them only giving these shows like 8-12 weeks in the summer when most people are busier and then canceling them. This is like the 3rd show that I was so excited about and loved and they got rid of….lipstick jungle, cashmere mafia, the gates come on. Put them on for longer or start them in the summer and bring them back in the winter like TV Land was so smart to do with Hot in Cleveland. I think there are enough hospital, cop and crime shows.
The Gates and the Scoundrels were two series that I really wanted a second season for. I bought them through Istore since I don’t have television. I heard of it through a friend and I tried the free episodes of The Gates and I fell in love immediately buying the season pass when it came available. From the bottom of my heart please bring back my pretty wolf boy, and I want to know what happens to Chief’s son.
The Gates was mine and my sisters favorite show on T.V.
This really really sux……They need to bring it back.
DAMN!!!!!
The Gates was an awesome show. Too bad its not coming back, what a waste!!!
Of all the shows that have come on lately you guys decide to cancel the only one we really enjoyed. Maybe you executives at abc should have put it on in a better time slot, and you would have gotten more viewers. If crap like jersey shore could make it, what’s to say the gates couldn’t. You guys never even gave it a chance and that sucks! Well, good luck trying to get our attention next season on sundays at 10:00. Why not add another police, hospital or sucky reality show. You people are brilliant!
