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’m so tired of ABC doing this. Why do I let myself watch this channel? They constantly cancel the shows I like. Disappointed once again…
once again a good show comes on that isnt full of sex and endwindos and so on and it gets pulled what a shame for once i wish that tv would go back to the old days when ther was something the hole family could watch. but this is how the world is turning out and its a shame that the top tv stations cant see this and leave some things on. but it comes down to how much money they can put in ther pockets. they used to care about the people that watch ther showes now the can… Read more »

So disappointed to hear this. Soooo looking forward to watching season 2 over the summer. There are such crappy shows out there and this one rocked. I am not a vampire fan but this series got me hooked!
Come on ABC!!! 🙁
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! WHYYY?? 🙁 I SERIOUSLY WATCHED THE WHOLE SEASON ON NETFLIX IN LESS THEN 2 DAYS. EVERY SINGLE EPISODE WAS AWSOME!!! I WAS SO LOOKING FOWARD FOR THE 2ND SEASON WHICH IS WHY I SURFED THE NET TO SEE WHEN ITLL COME OUT AND THEN I SEE THIIIIISSSS!!! NOT COOL 🙁 </3
I am after just finishing the first season of The Gates very dissapointed that the series was cancelled. I dont watch much tv but found this show to be very interesting . I liked the non cheesiness of it . It was like a supernatural show for adults that kept me wanting more. I am very dissapointed . The should at least do a two hour finale.
this was such a great show
Is there any way another network can pick it up? This is so sad. The story line and cast were great
YES THIS WAS WONDERFUL!!!! DIFFERENT!!! but God forbid we get to watch something original!!!
What a shame. A great show, great acting and super premise. ABC missed the mark with this one. With all the crud on TV this was a refreshing twist on a vampire based topic. Loved this show. Have all of them on DVR. ABC – bring it back PLEASE!!!!!
OMG! Why Why Why!!! this needs to be brought back!!!! Maybe on the Syfy Channel?? This was an AMAZING show and it Desirves to have a Seconds season, and third and so on!!! AHHH Why do all the Really good shows get Cancled! There are a ton of stupid shows that run forever!! People dont know good tv!!!!
I just recently watched the entire series this weekend with my kids. All of us were looking forward to the second season to find that the series was cancelled. We would love ABC to change their minds. There are wonderful actors and the storyline leaves you wanting more.
This TOTALLY sux that The Gates have been cancelled!!!! My husband and I LOVED watching this show together!!! You guys will be missed!!!!
