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?

ABC what are you guys doing? Someone needs to be fired, how dare you do this again to another great show. Next time you guys have a great idea for a show like The Gates do us all a favor and give it to an actual network that doesnt have idiots working for them. I hope you lose a ton of viewers, if you even have any left as it is. Im so glad i have NETFLIX so i dont half to flip through channels and accidently land on your network and get sick, cause thats how i feel about… Read more »
One of the BEST series I’ve EVER SEEN!! I JUST finished the 1st season and found out there is no more! How could they NOT have more!? It was AWESOME!!! Also, I am angry at how stations start a series then just leave u hanging, they should have writers who have an ending in mind, not writers who write to continue the story forever! ): SAD DAY!!!
This sucks. My mom just found this show on netflix and I was hooked INSTANTLY. saw it was only from last year and figured I would get to catch up and be ready for the new season. Then I come to find there isn’t going to BE a new season? C’mon ABC don’t give this show up….
I didn’t even know about the show until I saw it on wii and thats a possibility why more people sis not watch it. I loved it and watch the whole series in 2 days and as I watched the last episode I couldn’t wait to see the next season only to find out it had been cancelled. There is not much anything us fans can do but hope you reconsider bringong the show back even if on another station and late at nightd Please bring it back I honestly loved it and would have watched it if I had… Read more »
I really liked the series and I think that it was a mistake to cancel it. At least you should have given it Season 2. Some people didn’t even know that it was on. Shame on you. Bring it back.
abc sucks in love the show please make 2nd season
saw the gates for the first time on netflix, and i was glued to it untill i saw the last episode. i would love for there to be a second season!! season one ended with so many questions to be answeredd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a great show. Unfortunately since it was on ABC I never saw it before it was cancelled, as I almost never watch network TV. Maybe the Syfy Chanel would pick it up. It would get much better ratings there.
ABC SUCKS!!!! EVERYTIME A NEW SERIES I LIKE AIRS IT NEVER MAKES IT TO SEASON TWO. NOW IM ALWAYS GONNA WONDER WHAT HAPPENED. THE GATES SHOULD FIND ANOTHER NETWORK TO PICK THE SHOW . I LOVE THE GATES
All major Network television does these days is gets us lured in then leaves us hanging. We can now only rely on syfy fx amc usa tnt or other networks to at least give us endings to their shows.
I loved the gates! So upset it’s not coming back for a 2nd season!!!!
Another terrific show bites the dust……….please bring the show back!!!! I loved it!!!!!
ABC sucks!!! end a series without even giving us an end??! what the hell???
the fans expect a follow-up abc …
the only thing to say is that ABC sucks!!
I am upset this show won’t be returning. If I remember right it left us with a cliffhanger. I had hoped they would find some way to keep this show going, but I guess they could 🙁
bring the gates back !!!!!! we want more!!!!even if another station picks it up!!!!! not on long enough for it to become popular and how are you going to leave fans hanging????? hero’s and the gates 2 great shows gone!!!!! no wonder i dont like watching tv and stick to netflix!!!!! some of us work and cant watch when you air certain shows and have to catch them on dvd, netflix and hulu so you cant say they dont get good ratings !!!! Maybe networks should find a way to get votes from the public !!!!!!
