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?

This is bull crap! Are you kidding me? Canceled?! So over ABC.
I was really bummed to hear the gates was cancelled! I really enjoyed all the different types of characters!!!!
Now I’m just sad…:/
I just watched the whole series in a few days and it was awesome! I couldn’t stop watching it. These networks really need to give shows another season because alot of people just haven’t had the chance to get into it, but those of us who have pass it around letting them know just how good it is. I just have to say it passes me off that good shows are being cancelled leaving you hanging and not getting a second go around. I am SO SICK of these reality shows they keep making!! the jersey people, kardashians splitting to… Read more »
That is a total bummer….I really enjoyed the show,and I was waiting 4 the second season.
🙁
Solo bummed! I really liked this show 🙁
You know what they should cancel? Jersey Shore. This is such a good show. Great actors too!!
What??!!! I got hooked on this after watching it on Netflix only to find out it’s canned??? Seriously, WTF?! Bring it back!!!
Finally a show with more mature actors and it cancels…..I guess there was not enough WTF’s
I wish syfy would pick it up. Love and miss this show!
WHY?! WHY?! WHY?! Everytime there is a really good show on the tv, the producers cancel it. And with the most absurd cliffhangers. Don´t these people read the internet and can´t they see that there are a lot of people who loved this show? No just fill the tv with stupid tv shows with the stars, talent shows, reality shows and al the other ********. I really just don’t get it. Take a look at Buffy, Angel, The Vampire Diaries and even True Blood and not to forget Twilight. That is what we want to see. Vampires, Werewolves and al… Read more »
Amen to that!
I am so angry about this! The Gates was awesome! The action and suspense was amazing, and the characters were too good to be true. ABC.. you’re a joke. The gates would have been amazing this season.. I cannot believe this garbage!
This absolutely positively sucks! How dare getting us hooked and leaving us hanging. At least u guys could have done an episode that would have wrapped up some of the storyline……..sucks!
