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 bummed, I just found this show on netflix and watched the whole season. Why do they always cancel the shows that are different? The cast was great and I loved the whole premise of the show! I really hope that someone picks up this show it would definitely be worth it!
Obviously like everyone here I really liked The Gates very much!
But it’s probably because of bad timing, you know you have Vampire diaries, True blood.
But what I’m thinking is can’t they relaese the show in Europe or sell it to a tvstation in Europe?
I’m from Belgium, and true blood isn’t really a big succes here, Vampire diaries is though.
You know I’m sure if they would try it could work. And that way they can make more seasons…
PLEASE BRING IT BACK….THIS IS A GREAT SHOW!!!!
🙁 BRING The Gates Back.
What a shame I am really disappointed. It was such a great show and I was looking forward to watching it this summer. I probably won’t be watching whatever they replace it with though because I am bored to death with all these shows that are pretty much the same thing so while they may gain some new viewers they will lose me and I am sure lots of other people too. Next time don’t end a show like that if you are not sure it will continue for another season that is just plain unfair to the ones who… Read more »
I don’t watch a ton of mainstream TV but, I loved this show! I couldn’t wait for another season. And now to hear its been canceled after one great first season, is astonishing and also very aggravating! What’s wrong with everyone not watching and/or ABC not relizing the potential the show had overall! BIG MISTAKE! They finally come up with something entertaining for once and its canceled after one short season????!!!!! C”MON!!
WHAT! I’m going to be awake at night trying to figure out what happened to the chiefs kid! This totally sucks.
I love this show! How can it have such poor ratings?! The actors did very well and the storyline is so interesting! and i hate shows that randomly end, makes you wonder what happened and from what ive been reading from this comments thats exactly whats going to happen. PLS. PLS. PLS. Make a Season 2! its been a year since it ended and now its 2011 there are people who still want it to continue. SEASON TWO PLEASE!
Having not seen any commercials for The Gates, I looked online and found what I had suspected!! Another GREAT show cancelled!! Too bad for sure!!
I cannot believe this show is ending. One of the few shows I even bothered to watch. Please release Season 2 so that some of our questions get answered. I get tired of watching the first season of a good show only for it to get canceled for yet another lousy reality to show. This was a great show and I was looking forward to the summer series.
I’m so tired of watching the first season of a new show only for it to get axed. I don’t even want to bother with watching a show if it’s the first season unless I see that it’s been around for a few seasons and will continue. This was an awesome show and who ever the powers that be were that axed this show are idiots.
The gates is freakin awesome!! Please make season 2 , I wanna see what devon has dobe to the cheifs kid!!! Ahhhh im pulling my hair out!!!
And the cast did a remarkable job in their roles. I look forward to seeing them again
The Gates was an AMAZING show that is missed terribly. Please come back!!!
I cant believe its over like that. How can ABC stop such a gr8 show with Charley becoming a demon or something. I couldnt stop watching, I finished the season in two days on Netflix:) Is there anyway u can put the second season on Netflix? At least then people who r totally interested would be paying for it anyway.
