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?

Very sad to hear it wont be back. It was a great show!! Would love to see much more of it….
I really liked this show!! I was hoping it was coming back it ended so abruptly and so much more could have came out of it.
My daughter and I loved that show. We were waiting to see what the son came back to life as. Bad choice ABC!
I really wish they would reconsider this decision. I watched the entire season on Netflix. I couldn’t stop watching, it had me hooked!!
I can’ t beleive that they leave Buffy the vampire Slayer on but take this work of art off!!!AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so sick of abc”s crap they take everything interesting off. Anything different, forget it. V / the gates / No Ordinary family!!! ABC!!! STUPID!!!!!!
COUGAR TOWN?? IS GARBAGE. THE only reason COUGAR TOWNS’ ratings are good is because everybody has fallen asleep & the TV is still on. Courtney Cox wants her kid to live w/ her till he’s 60 SICK!!!!
It was a great show. I’ll miss it.
For realz? I was just waiting now I know it will never come, noooo and then it cancelled on a clif hanger hate when that happend, it was a great show without a lot promotion, that is what it killed them…..
we really love this show and are really sorry to hear that it won’t be back, One more reason I won’t be watching ABC… I wish they would reconsider bring the show back… I know there a lot of us that feel this way…
Sad to see it gone…please reconsider. Loved it!!!
