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?

The Gates need to come back. How can they leave it this way. The networks are all messed up. If they do not start going with the shows they show people will be getting more netflix and doing away with cable all together. Watch out networks.
Loved the show!!! Wish you would bring it back.
NOOOO!!! I LOVED this show! There are alot of Vamp/were fans. This one could have been great. I second Judy’s sentiment. I hate that it is extemely difficult to keep a great “Scripted” series on the air meanwhile crap like the bachelor has continued to prevail. I was so excited to see season 2. 🙁
would you believe i am justing finding out that the gates is cancelled. i am truly disappointed. i am 54 years old and i loved this show. someone please pick this show up and bring season 2. please!!!!
One of only 2 shows I made it a point to drop everything and watch . It was actually a show for all ages not just twenty somethings. Bad move!
Great show! Abc should have kept it. Too much reality crap out there. What will real actors do?
I was watching a movie with Rhona Mitra and got to wondering about The Gates. I was totally bummed when I found out it was cancelled! I agree there are so many less worthy shows that could be cancelled it is is sad they selected this one.
I also hope SyFy will pick it up and of course that the same cast would stay 🙂
This sucks!!! I hate reality shows and I finally found a good show and it gets canceled. It seems there is nothing on but stupid reality shows!!! Hopefully another network can pick it up!!!
I am seriously disappointed with ABC. They completely dropped the ball on this one. I knew of so many people who loved the show. You cannot cut a show. After the first season. You haven’t given it enough time to gather a mass fan base. This was seriously a huge mistake. ABC, you are going to lose a ton of viewers for cutting this show. You are the ones who will lose in the long run. Bring back the gates!!!!!!
I loved the show! I never missed an episode and was waiting eagerly for it to come back on. I am a huge vampire and werewolf fan…ABC what were you thinking???
Loved the show, they should come back with season 2. When I heard they weren’t I couldn’t believe it. Good luck to the actors and actresses I hope I see them again, they were good.
very upset that the show was cancelled.. just when it got more exciting.. couldnt wait to see the two fight for poison ivy..lol..plz..bring it back…
I was waiting for The Gates to come back on. I am very sorry to find out that it won’t be back. I don’t watch the main three stations much and this was one of the 2 shows I watched at night. I won’t be watching but one show now.
I loved the gates!! I want it back!! No more abc for my family until they bring it back! It was 100 times more interesting than the life of the american teenager, and for some reason that’s still on…
it suck that abc cancelled the gates!!! what were u thinking ?of all the stupid reality shows there are out there u had to cancel the most excited show!!!! it was very very good!! it was deffient!!! that suck!!!!!!!!!! bring it back!!!!!
