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?

Really loved this show, can’t believe they cancelled it. Wish the CW would pick it up!!
THERE HAS TO BE A SEASON 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE HECK IS CHARLEY!?!?
I loved the show I was looking forward to the new season
wish thay hadnt gave up on this show it was great
I enjoyed this show and thought it got much better as it went along. It did need more supernatural thrills and chills. I would have liked to see a few more seasons of the show. ABC certainly hasn’t replaced it with any ratings winners.
this show was amazing…. pleeeeease bring back….
If your going to cancel a show, then give us the ending! What happens to the family and to all the main characters?! There should be a law to not finish something they started. This would be the second show I fell in love with and it was cancelled before completing. I DEMAND the ending!
I loved the show from the beginning i am really sorry that its not coming back what a shame
I’m very upset that the TV show is canceled i just watched it and it was the best TV show i ever saw. I just want to say PLEASE I hope there is going to be another season its not bad its REALLY REALLY good!!
Maybe if ABC did a better jod advertising the program it would have had better ratings, I found it on Netflix and really liked the program. Typical action the boss screws up the marketing and the players get the shaft.
I’m so upset to find that The Gates has been Cancelled. My Husband and I loved watching it. Why do all the good shows get Cancelled………………………….
I am so disappointed! I have been waiting all year for the 2nd season to just find out there will NOT be one. Everyone I talk to liked the show so you say there was no ratings! I think you made a big mistake!
Me and m family is very upset the gates isn’t coming bqck abc doesn’t. Know what’s its doing they cancel great shows with out a closing the are also cancelling the.soaps they need there head check we loved the gates o don’t know who does the rating but they were wrong
we, my husband and i (and everyone else we know) love this show
we want to see it come back, badly….love this show its so great
“The Gates” was unlike a TV show I have ever seen before! I can’t believe they canceled this show. The story in every characters’ lives were getting more interesting after every episode. Now, the viewers can only imagine what will happen next and piece together of what the TV station’s stupidity left unfinished. Thanks a lot! “Don’t start something if you can’t finish it.”
i completely agree i hat tv shows that get cancelled and dont close out this one was left wide open i hate abc
