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?

Man, what! I could hardly wait for season two. I really enjoyed the show, it was different and very entertaining. Its a shame, the good ones always get shut down wright when its getting good!!!!!
That bites, liked this show. How is it that all good shows get cancelled..boo
Wow….. I just started watching it Friday on Netflix because all the girls at work have been talking about it. I am almost done and want a second season. Maybe the should see the demand on Netflix and change their minds it has 4 out of 5 starts. Booooo ABC!!!!
This is the reason so many people have gone to alternative stations!!!!! This was a good show, what idiot decided this should be fired.eddie
The network stations like ABC, CBS and NBC need to get a clue if they’re ever going to compete with other channels that value the people that watch their programming. This would have been the perfect show to run late at night between 11 pm and 1 am. I’m not real sure how the ratings are determined but do they take in to account those of us that record via DVR to watch it later and not only what channel the TV’s on during a particular hour? The folks at ABC are out of touch. I, for one, hold a… Read more »
Please bring the gates back!!! Best supernatural show in awhile!
I’m very dissapointed with this HORRIBLE news. please bring the show back. I was waiting for the show to start and see what happens in the show. The actors were excellent and I wanted to see it finished. Maybe if you changed the date and time it will help with the reting; because the show was just good. : (
Are you serious? This show was cancelled. I can’t believe they are saying the ratings were’nt good, everyone was talking about this show, at the hairdresser, at work
Too bad! Really liked it but was wondering how they would keep it entertaining in one little neighborhood.
so sad it was an amazing show =(
I loved it, please bring it back!!! I want to know what happens next!!! 🙂
Liked this show. Just checked to see when would start back up bummer! Think I am done w network. Too many shows cancelled!
This cannot be! I have no idea how it could possibly received low ratings considering it’s one of the best shows out there! It’s been a while since something on TV has popped up that really could be deemed worthy of cancelling plans to watch! I really hope that, somehow, minds will be changed and the show does continue.
