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?

m sad and i would like f da producers reconcider their dicision
I’m beyond PISESED. I enjoyed this show also.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOO not cool man!
WTF this is a great show how can you cancel a show that was so great….try canceling a dumb show like wipeout
I have been eagerly waiting for the next season. I am very disappointed it is cancelled. Please reconsider.
I am seriously disappointed I really liked this show 🙁
I am CRUSHED its over, it was a great show!
I dont quite get American tv station’s The Gates was an outstanding production. With all the vampire and wolf movies and shows around it was something different it had substance .Here in Australia we see all the shows that are coming out in America and so often they give them a half season and shut them down how are if any of these shows get rating they are finished before people even no they have been.Bring it back for a second season ABC your on a winner
So sorry The Gates is not returning, I loved this show, as well as my daughter, I wish ABC would reconsider their decision, there are a lot of other show’s on ABC that are not as good as this one was.
Please release the DVD set soon!!!
I just read that The Gates is not coming back….I am SO BUMMED. I loved that show. It was one of my favorites….I will miss it alot. SO SAD !!
NOOOO!!! I’ve been anxiously awaiting the new season and now this?!?! Makes me sick. Trash like “Jersey Shore” is huge and great shows like this SOMEHOW fell short? I blame having a bad time slot and maybe even bad timing on the release (because of all the other vampire stuff going on at the same time) for this. Makes me sick. I’m not into all the vampire hoopla at all but THIS show I loved! So we don’t even get a series finale!? BS…total BS!!! I wish they’d reconsider 🙁 Or look to another network to pick the series up… Read more »
wow, I can’t believe it. it was one of my favorite show. I loved every character. My husband and I are retired and found this show to be so enjoyable. All of our friends loved it. Why? Can’t another network pick it up?
My daughter and I are so upset, this was such a good show,It was something we watched together! it is such a shame, everytime I get into a show it gets canceled!
I am so sad! I LOVED this show!
So sad to have found a show that caught my attention and then had it cancelled right at the point where i’m really engaged to it. hopefully ABC would reconsider.
