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 really hope they change their moinds! It is a really good show!
This is garbage. That was a good show and how they can call one season a great run is beyond me.
I’m getting well sick and tired of enjoying a series just for it to be shot down before it reaches any kind of conclusion.
I wish the cable station “Si-Fi” would pick this up and run with it. The name is misleading without a little information on the show. I seen “The Gates” advertisement using the onscreen guide but missed several shows because I didn’t know what it was about and didn’t investigate it. I have since watched what I missed online. I was all prepared for season II, couldn’t wait…and now it’s cancelled? It would be a great show for the Si-Fi network. Come on fans! I have already sent them 2 messages asking them to pick this up!
It is completely frustrating when fantasic shows are cancelled and other rubbish continues on season after season. Surely by now everyone is sick of reality shows.
There aren’t very many scifi/supernatural style shows any more. It might be a niche market but the people who watch are extremely loyal. Some shows the following grows as the show gains momentum. With The Gates we will now never know.
i feel so disappointed they cancelled the show. i loved this show. i was waiting for the second season to come out. i hope they bring it back.
I’m with the other fans, that was one of my favorite tv shows. I hate when a good show comes on and gets canceled. They leave you hanging with no closure, no ending. I think they should bring it back for at least one more so we can see what happens to everyone.
IT IS VERY VERY FRUSTRATING WHEN THE NETWORK LEAVES YOU HANGING AND UP AND CANCELS THIS SHOW. YOU DID NOT EVEN GIVE THIS SHOW A CHANCE!!
I am so disappointed about the cxl of one of the best summer series on TV. The storyline and cast was awesome. My husband and I couldn’t wait to watch this series together and let me tell you it is very seldom we sit and watch the same thing. I hope in the future you would consider bringing this series back.
let us continue to enjoy such a great show. my family looked forward to watching this every sunday. please return it to us. please please please1!!!!!!!
Please bring this show back. I loved it!!!!! You get interested in a series and they cancel it. Please bring it back. Change the times if that is an issue.
Dang it! My husband and I loved this show and was looking forward to season 2! Why is it that the best shows get cancelled? I wish they would reconsider it! Put it on another day or time!
Wow. I really was looking foward to season 2 . Me and my family watched religously the only thing we even watched on ABC.
Aww Man!!!
Was too wondering when season 2 would begin & decided today to google the show & this is what I found. I truly enjoyed the show & can’t believe the ratings weren’t there. It is a disapointment to not have closure with the story lines & great characters.

I was so disappointed to hear this show was cancelled. I had been waiting and waiting to hear something and heard nothing. I finally tuned in to see if I found some news, last night, and found this. Why did they cancel this. Now we get no closure on what happened with the succubus girl, the boyfriend, Leigh, etc. All the characters had something interesting going on, and I always couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next. I couldn’t wait for the next week. I’m extremely disappointed. And I so miss Rhona Mitra!
I’ve been looking forward to season 2! It’s really frustrating when you find a show that you actually enjoy, and they up and cancel it!
