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 loved the Gates! Bring it back!
Please bring it back. Am so addicted!!!!
Seriously? My husband and I have been watching it on Netflix and are completely hooked. Now I don’t even want to finish the season b/c I know it will end on a cliffhanger… but I don’t think I can stop!
I really loved that show and I watched every week. It sure is a lot better than the show at that time slot. Loved the idea that the story could have went in a lot of directions. It’s so sad it had a lot of promise.
I think The Gates should do season 2. But they should use it as a closer season to everything. Season 1 ended in a cliffhanger. I have to see what they do with Charlie’s new.. evil self.
I just accidentally found this show on Netflix and was hooked on the spot. I was totally addicted only to get to the end of season 1, hoping that they’d have season 2 too but was dismayed to find out it’d been cancelled. This s**t sucks:( And to think of a lot of crappy shows they keep. Ugh if I had enough power and control I’d make them bring it back. I’ve nvr been soo sad to find out a show I liked was cancelled, I clearly wasn’t even that sad when I got into the Sarah Connor chronicles only… Read more »
I just found this series on Netflix and I am so sad that I didnt’ know about it when it was actually on air. I can’t understand why the Networks don’t release to Netflix the first episode or two of a new series to gain ratings. This is not a decade ago where people only had the networks to watch. Now we have so many outlets and video on demand that hardly anyone I know actually watches programs when they are aired. Eventually, they are going to have to change their model to be successful. Maybe we’ll get lucky and… Read more »
I was just checking to see when The Gates was coming back, I was so looking forward to it. They keep cancelling my favorite shows. I wish they would have had more seasons, the story lines and characters were good.
I am very disappointed that the Series has been cancelled . I was looking forward to it starting again.
I am so angry about this show being cancelled! I was so looking forward to season 2!! It was a good show!
bring back the gate you can not leave people hanging like that
I am TOTALLY UPSET that the one show that I was so intuned with was cancelled!!!
WHY???????????
What now? Will there be a DVD collection? I would buy it in a hear beat!
Bring the series BACK!!!!!!!!
I am so very upset that we will not get another season. I think if people had the chance to watch it they would love it! I am absolutely stuck! i need you to bring this show back! Give it a chance and see what comes of it!
The Gates was such a great show. I’am very dissapointed that they cancelled the show. I was looking forward to Season 2.
From now on, I’m never going to LIKE another show. When I do, they get cancelled! My husband and I loved “The Gates” and are pretty perturbed that it’s not coming back. Were there any season two episodes filmed before it was cancelled?
