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?

come on r u serious i love that show why cancel it i was a faithful watcher and was looking forward to season two this is some bull
THIS IS RIDICULOUS¡!!!!
THIS SHOW IS AWESOME, AND VERY ENTERTAING.
kept me on the edge of my seat every episode
BRING THIS SHOW BACK.
It gets old to enjoy a new show and the networks cancels them! Just how many viewers do you have to have? Why is it that The X-Files and Lost were shows that brought you back each week …..they were believable? Give the shows a chance!!Get better writers if it’s not working. And another thing, bring Ugly Betty back!
I just started watching this series on Netflix. I love it! I never saw advertised on any of the stations so this is my first experience. I wonder how many others out there will now watch it and like Firefly be really disappointed. Who is running these networks that cancel the good ones. Stupid, stupid, stupid people.
I am royally pissed!!! The Gates was the best new show of last season. This bites. Seriously!!!
My fiancée’ and myself were diligent viewers, of The Gates!! We loved this programming as did many others who have watched it. Not sure how you gauge your programming but this was a hit in more than one way!! This was great television, right up there with desperate housewives and V for us. Big mistake on this one we would like to see it return.
I hate that ABC cancelled “The Gates”..would have loved a second season…Hope ABC can find it in their hearts to bring it back..
None of the networks gives a show a chance. I am getting so sick of even trying to catch a new show because they will just take it off. They come out with DVRs so people can catch the shows later on at there convience but that doesn’t help the shows out. They have a screwy system in seeing how many watch the shows so even though you watch faithfully they don’t get counted as being watched. Unless you are a reality tv nut you can forget watching decent tv anymore.
Are you serious…can we get a season 2…this show was AWESOME!!!!!
I really looked forward to season 2. I won’t be following anymore shows until season 2. I always get vested in these shows and the network just won’t give them time to grow. I hope the scifi channel will pick it up. At least Haven is coming back, go scifi, booooooo abc
The Gates was an awesome show! The network needed to hive the show more time.
They suck for cancelling the show. Rhona Mitra makes a great vampire, as she proved in Underworld Rise of the Lycans. The Gates was a great vampire and werewolf movie for a mature audience. I will really miss this show.
this was one of the best shows last year and I am not even a vamp/werewolf/weirdo fan. The story line was good.
WHAT!!!! This sucks. . . .
This really sucks. This was a really good show, one I was looking forward to coming back. ABC is making some really bad choices.
I am done watching new shows that come out on ABC. The network doesn’t even give them a chance! The Gates was an awesome show!! ABC sucks!!
I will also not watch anymore new shows on ABC. The Gates was awesome and yes, ABC didn’t give them a chance.
