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 love THE GATES ,i hate abc ,what a hell ,*** u all abc no more abc
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRING IT BACK!!!
Wow. This sucks. I just barely found the show just to watch it, love it, and find out they are not even bringing it back for a second season!!! If ABC had done a better job of promoting it i doubt this would have happened. This show didn’t deserve to be cancelled, i can think of a few on ABC who do though…
i cantbeliev this i was sooo waiting for season 2..tisk tisk!
Way to go ABC, you are sure doing a fantastic job of pi**ing off your viewers! The gates was an excellent show…the first show I’ve actually wanted to watch in years! I’m done with ABC, they will just continue with the crappy reality TV and cancel shows worth watching! The execs at abc can go shove it!
It was one of the better shows on abc and now canceled? That’s crazy. there are alot of other shows abc needs to take off the air before The Gates. I hope somehow it will be back..
I really enjoyed The Gates. I will miss seeing it and following all of the misdeeds of it’s characters . Seems everytime I get wrapped up in a program it gets cancelled! Should have had one more seqason to see if it would pick up more viewers by promoting it more and better.
I loved that show, it was one of the best out where. I wish it could come back. “Claire” was amazing . I thought it was really well done, cast was amazing, every episode suspense and excitement. Sorry to see it go
I’m so dissapointed that u guys canceled after just one season like moonlight. Maybe it could have been the time it was on, or could’ve put it on 2x one in the pm and am. Honestly this show needs 2 stay! Maybe the ratings were low because of the time slot and lack of publicity. Especially when the twilight series was being promoted at the same time. Seriously this show was more focused for an older generation and that’s what I liked about it, next to True Blood. I think the public relations department and whoever else that was in… Read more »
You need to bring back The Gates! I find one I really like and now it has been canceled. Not fair.
Where from holland me and my wife loved the show, the story isn’t finnished. A second season whould definitly had oure support
Please change your minds — what is wrong with these people! CBS had Moonlight which I loved —then that was gone.. Now I become interested in this show as I am sure many people have and gone… do tv executives have any experience with the public????
it was good show it is sad that they end it . i think that it will be missed by all of the ones that love it sorry to see it go
WHY would ABC cancel this show??? It was may favorite show and I am truly disappointed that it won’t be coming back. ABC just went down a notch in my book!
I loved the Gates! Seriously, ABC did not do a good job in promoting it. It will be missed.
