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?

Think the only reason it didn’t have a sufficient amount of viewers was because of the time it was on. It was a little late in the evening, for a lot of people going to work.
Are you kidding, I just found this out right now, I even had my husband watching this show and he doesn’t normally care for this type of series. I am truly disappointed, everyone on that show did a fantastic job.. I know that the actors and actresses will move on to bigger and better things, but I can’t get over this, I just told my husband they better not cancel the series, he won’t believe it when I tell him tonight. This is a bunch of crap. Take all these actors and actressess and at least make a movie with… Read more »
OMG……….. what the heck…… why is it every show I watch gets canceled? This really sucks I was so looking forward to see what happened to the son. What really kills me is movies with adults dressed in cheerleader outfits fighting like kids stays on the air, but this show did not…. grrrrrrrrrrrrr.
i thought this series a smart, fun and evolving even unique contribution to the genre. it was nice to have a more grown up supernatural show. was disappointed to hear of the cancellation…
i hate that they have cancelled ‘the gates’…ABC you will not get any better ratings on a Sunday evening with any show!
I am SO sick of hospital & crime shows. That is all there is on TV now. The Gates was an awesome show & I am 100% going to miss it. So glad HULU had Haven on it so I could watch THAT show. Sure hope IT doesn’t get canceled. ABC – You SUCK ROYALLY!
why ABC canceled project the gates 2??????
I hate ABC for cancelling The Gates!!!
We loved ” The Gates”..I really wanted to see what happened to all the characters! That was the only show I watched on abc, ’cause your line up sucks!
ABC is ******* idiots
I think they DO totally suck, it was a great show. I now have no reason to watch ABC at all. I only watched it because of the show. The Gates was awesome and it would great if they brought it back. It’s not cool they get you interested in something then just take it off just like that. I hope that alot of people complain so they bring it back. I want to see more. They just left me hanging on wondering what’s going to happen next. I WANT MORE!!!!
I’m so upset The Gates is canceled. It was the best of all the vampire/werewolf shows. The casting was fabulous. Loved the writing. I’m so sick of sci-fi and interesting shows being canceled, while there are about over 20 crimes shows. Paalease. A little plus enjoyable change was great and will be missed.
I really loved this show. Major bummer!
wow my whole family was glued to it we definetely was hoping for a season 2 to see what happened to the son and so forth. damn it another good show in the crapper same thing the networks did to angel.
This was probably the only show I actually watched on ABC. Its sad they cancelled it. They totally suck!!
