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?

🙁 I really really enjoyed this show. I just came on to see when it would be back, only to learn. smh in mourning now
I had never even heard of this show until i saw it on NETFLIX. It’s a great show! I blame poor advertisement for the show’s cancellation. “The Gates” has Great characters and plots. I wish they would bring it back now that netflix users are seeing it for the first time.
O yea lets not forget about True Blood!!!!!! At least its still on
I don’t see how you could leave a show ending the way you all did!!!!! We all know there should have been another season or so!!!!! If not for the RATINGS what about THE FANS!!!!!!!!!!! We all loved the show. I mean really! so Charlie don’t ever see his girl anymore? Thats a bunch of bs if u ask me!!!!!!!!!!! The fans is what is suppose to count not the SO CALLED RATINGS!!!!! Why keep The BACHELORETTE it has toooooo much DRAMA!!!! I so don’t and won’t watch that show because of DRAMA!! Every1 is into vamps an werewolfs now… Read more »
Soo sad I love it amazing!!!! Find a way to get more out
i would for the gates to come back i think it was the best show in a long time
Gee, I wanted to see what happens next. To have two good Supernatural shows for the summer. Do a Season 2!!!
Me and my friend LOVED the show we watched the whole season on netfilx in just a few days we coulnd get enough and would love a season 2
What a bunch of crap! I’ve been looking forward to this summer for round 2 of Gates. Why are networks so short sighted? One season & if a show doesn’t grab mega-millions of viewers they axe it. It’s so frustrating. This attitude is making viewers afraid to invest in a program anymore. Chances are it won’t be back & we’re left hanging. BOO on ABC!
Is there a book? I would definatley read it since there wont be a season 2.
I am so mad and sad that this show never got a chance to progress on air. I definitely enjoyed watching the first season but now I am frustrated cause there are so many questions left unanswered. I too agree with everyones comments. I have never heard of the show till I found it on netflix and became hooked right away. I agree with Amber,if there is a petition or anything that would have a chance bringing the show back, I would for sure be on top of it. I notified all my friends to watch it after i found… Read more »
I never even heard of it before! What time slot was it in and which shows on the other networks did it air against??? It can’t end this way! MAKE A MOVE for goodness sake!
loved the show.was looking fwd to new season. very disappointed it will not be back. thanks to all the actors, writers, and other support staff for a great summer. network abc what is your problem?
Darn it all!! I Loved the show! Wish it was coming back!! 🙁
Also, I just wanted to add, I NEVER saw any publicity for this show either! Is there an online petition anywhere that we can sign??
I AGREE….I really didnt see much advertisement. I found it on netflix and was hooked right away and now i am really sad that there is no season two especially since it was getting really intense….i want to know what charlie turned into. I would def. sign a petition and make all my friends watch it. BRING BACK THE GATES!!!
I was so ready for season 2.
