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?

How SAD. I really enjoyed the series and was really anxious for Season 2 to start. Very Disappointed in the decision to cancel the show
Can not believe this has been cancelled! It was a great cast and storyline. This mean ABC blows. Sell the show to another station!!
this is why i do not care for this channel, ABC SUCKS. they shoulda taken Lost off or something. i will continue too stick with CBS with its csi and ncis eps and WB with its vampire diaries and supernatural eps. i think the upper hands with ABC need the boot. hopefully another channel will pick the gates back up. i am wishfully hoping the gates will be back on some broadcast channel soon. good luck to the gates and its casts.
this sucks i really enjoyed this show. how can an upcoming season be thrown away after a hell of a great season 1 ending. there was more to come with the gates and did not even get the opp. to show it. THANKS ABC!!! YOU SUCK!!!
This was a true disappointment. I loved this show and feel this could have really gone somewhere. I think they should run it again and see if people are more receptive of the plot of the show. This is the second good show ABC cancelled like the other show Flash Foward where that show go too?
I think the big problem is that abc didn’t sell the show we’ll enough. I just watched season 1 on netflix and fell in love. This show, episode after episode made me come back for more. Great writers! If abc doesn’t bring the show back sell the rights to a different network. Very dissappointed!
Please bring this show back! I loved it. Finally something different,NO MORE doctor, lawyer, realty shows! Keep this show going. It will pick up a big fan base for both young and old.
I feel the same way i got all caught up in the pic and they cancelled i feel they were fooled by devon cause they dont seem to be thinking straight.
Bring back the bloody picture.
That totally sucks I really liked the show =( At least we still have the VAMPIRE DIARIES and TRUE BLOOD to watch! I hope they will bring back The Gates!!
Please sell the right to someone else it was seriously one of the better shows on these days….
VERY UPSET
Vampire diaries rock and I agree bring it back
So upset to hear the news of this, i love this show and wanted so badly to find out what happens in the future 🙁 If there is in anyway of keeping the show that would be great
Absolutely LOVED this show. I could see the struggle with some of the writing but they always came out on top. I always wonder why “there’s always another new show waiting in the wings” when networks should just give them all a chance. I realize it’s all about money and they have protocol to follow. But, life is busy. Not everyone has the chance to sit and watch TV all night.
I JUST WATCHED SEASON 1 ON NETFLIX NOT KNOWING TILL I LOOKED ON LINE THAT THE SERIES WAS CANCELLED, BOY WAS I ANGRY, I FEEL ABC SHOULD GIVE IT ANOTHER RUN, PEOPLE HAVE WATCHED IT ON NETFLIX AND NOW LOVE THE SHOW, LIKE MYSELF! THEIR WAS A GREAT BUNCH OF NEW ACTORS AND THE PLOT WAS EXCELLENT, BRING IT BACK PLEASE. JUST PUT OUT SOME ADVERTISEMENT THAT WILL CATCH THE EYES OFBOTH YOUNG AD OLD VIEWERS AND PUT IT BACK ON.YALL LEFT ME HANGING WITH CHARLIE COMMING BACK TO LIFE AS SOMETHING KINDA EVIL AND THAT SMUG LOOK ON DEVON’S… Read more »
Are you SEROUS?!!!! What a Waste of my time. This show was EXCELLENT!!! I allowed myself to become interested in it and Hooked on wanting to see what happened next, and they CANCEL IT?!?!?!
ABC, you are Stupid! Please sell the rights to this to another network. AMC is growing into a decent network, showing some great new series, Let THEM produce it.
Sincerely,
DISAPPOINTED Viewer
