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’m SO tired of getting into a show and then find out there will be no 2nd season. Very disappointed ABC. You let a lot of people down.
OMG!!!! this is soooo unfair!
we are addicted to these series!
stupid ones!
I am very upset that The Gates will not be coming back for a 2nd season. I really did enjoy watching this show on Sunday’s. It gave me something to look forward to. I wished that the network would change their mind and do another season on this show. It left the show hanging and I would like to know where it would have gone to.
I am so disgusted with network TV taking all the good scifi shows off just when they are really getting interesting. This was one of the best shows on TV.
I quit watching all network tv shows quite some time ago because of great series being
cancelled without a hesitation. Let’s see, The Gates, Kings, Eli Stone to name a few.
I now watch Sci-Fi, History and HBO. NETWORK TV SUCKS, take your stupid
“reality crappy ass shows ” ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX and stick em where the sun don’t shine. Its CW, HBO, SHOWTIME for this gal. Who needs your greedy asses?
this is so crappy, they didn’t give it a chance to get the rating.. ABC make me sick with this, My family loves this show and was looking forward to season two.. they make me sick, when the brought moonlight out the cancelled it with no ending, just like The Gates, ugh i am so mad right now: also Being human is awesome both of the them, I watched the season three premier of Being Human on BBC tonight it is awesome!!!
OMG!! this is so silly to end this series. there are people who had an awesome time watching it. it’s the first thing my husband and i have done together in a long time. we looked forward to each episode. please bring it back. this seriously does have potential!!!
No, no, no! This CAN’T be over! I was so looking forward to the second season, and when I saw no commercials, I went online to check the premier date and saw THIS. I don’t understand how a show THIS GREAT could possibly get cancelled so early! There is so much crappy shows out there that somehow stay on air. I’m only 14, and this this show appealed to me far more than any Twilight movie, or any other vampire series on TV. The only reason this might of had bad ratings was the bad timing because of all the… Read more »
Wow i found out to late was waiting for season 2 a then went to check up on it and it gone… Epic Fail was the only vampire show i could stand to watch. big let down for me. Hope they change their minds
What can someone do to get a tv show back on the air, once it has been cancelled? I really liked the Gates. I also like being human, but I like the one on the BBC better.
Even over here in England where The Gates hasn’t been showing us die hard fans have been watching on line……..can’t believe there won’t be a second series! What are ABC thinking? Be smart and listen to your viewers, your dropping one of the best series you had going and far more family friendly that competitors like True Blood
Is anyone paying attention? You are still receiving complaints about canceling The Gates.
It was the only vampire show that the family could watch!!! I’m still living in hope that someone takes notice and brings the show back! Of course, with Luke Mably. Lets pray that he is available!
I am sick and tired of the way they do things. They put great shows on and then boom there gone. This was one of my best shows. ABC you suck
Are you serious??? I’m with Tiffany. Me and my daughters were looking forward to the 2nd season. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a bunch of **bleepin’** crap!!! I was SOOO stoked 4 season 2. So were my kids. Yall screwed up w THIS cancellation. Ugh. Epic FAIL!! I really like SyFy’s BEING HUMAM and THE GATES was way better.
