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?

My husband and I looked forward to watching The Gates each week. We couldn’t wait for season 2 only to find that another show has been cancelled. ABC ” What are you thinking?”
Geez, everytime I find a show I really like and look forward to watching it gets cancelled….. I’m sooooo tired of cop and csi shows…. The powers that be need to pay attention…have they not noticed how well Vamp Diaries has done????
I’m pissed off, this was my favorite show, now it’s gone? That’s freaktarded!
WOW i cant believe there wont be a season 2 i loved this show!!!
Just when it looks like a network is going to provide some programing that may not be in the top 10 but has a loyal fan base, they proved that the only thing that talks is ratings and money. I am part of a small segment of the population that enjoys this type of program. I DO NOT watch reality TV, I WANT fantasy, I want to be amused!
I had no idea this show was cancelled! I just came on to see when the season would start back up again. And much to my shock I find out it was cancelled. Why would they do something like that? I wanna know who makes these kind of decisions? I mean it was a awesome series! And I’m so bummed and fustrated it wont be back on. I mean the season finale was great and now we’ll never know what happens. Grrr annoyed!
I can’t believe The Gates has been cancelled. I was so looking forward to the 2nd season. Some of the best entertainment I’ve seen. So many mysteries yet to unfold. Tne writers should at least consider a book series. This can’t be the end of The Gates. Can’t wait to see what is next.
I’m so disgusted. YET another series cancelled!!!! “Chase”know this one why even bother to get involved with a show it’s only going to get flipping CANCELLED :0(
NO!! Bring back The Gates for season 2!!
I am so sad!!! My friends and I were so looking forward to watching Season 2 – we made it a party atmosphere and we have been discussing what would be happening in Season 2. BRING IT BACK!!
I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY ARE CANCELLING!!!!I love The Gates and I really hope they reconsider what they are doing. This is the only show I looked foreard to seeing and all my friends DVRed it so that we could talk about it at work the next day. Now what am I going to watch? The first decent show in a long time and now sad to say it is gone. The Gates fan forever.
I LOVED this show….amd hating the fact the TPTB cancelled yet another good show. I was really looking forward to season two since the season finale was AWESOME! Too bad……
Love it, big fan, NEED SEASON 2, PLEASE BRING BACK.
I’m soooo bummed this show isn’t coming back on the air, i loved it!!!!! Bring it back!!
I AM SO UPSET ABOUT THIS. I WAS LOOKING SO FORWARD TO SEASON 2!!
