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 am heartbroken that it has been cancelled. I will continue to hope another station picks it up. I don’t know why it wasnt tried in a different time slot. Very intelligent writing refreshing after watching the twilight series. Yes I am heartbroken.
They should bring back this series cause its quite good and I personally want to find out what happens next.
Came across this show on NETFLIX and it was hard to stop watching it . I LOVED this show so much that I googled it so I could see when season 2 was airing ; WELL WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT this was . CANCELLED ??? ARE U SERIOUS ??? I got into the characters so much 🙁
I just discovered this show on netflicks and I LOVE it!!! I got so into it that I watched all of season one in 3 days. It is by far my favorite show!!!!!!!! I wanted to look online to see when the new season was coming out and found that it had been cancelled…nooooooooooo!!!!!! Im totally bummed:( PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!!!!!
this was the only show i would even watch ABC for now there going to take it off bull crap they took off amw off fox wat are people thinking there taking the good shows off to put on dummy ass shows on that people dont like
I was really disappointed that it was cancelled. I loved that show. I know alot of people that was disappointed that it was cancelled. I wish it would come back. You were left hanging. What ever happened to the boy after coming back to life. Fans want to know. Some critics just don’t know a good show if it hit them on the head. At least, maybe, it will come on DVD.
Looking forwards for next season!!! It been WHAT!!! NO!!!
Bring the show back!!! It was the best show on ABC!!!
I loved The Gates and looked forward to seeing it this summer. I just discovered that it was cancelled!! I’m truly disappointed as the storyline and actors were so good!! Bad move!!
where did my show go i want more
bring back THE GATES > i re watched it again on Netflix and REALLY want a season 2…..it hasnt been too long, just do it already
Disappointed that there won’t be another season of The Gates. I really got caught up in it and was looking forward to a new season. I hate when I start to watch something only for it to be cancelled. It does make you want to stop giving new shows a chance.
This Sucks!!! I was looking forward to the summer coming so that this show would be back on. Now I find out it is canceled? How can they leave all those questions unanswered? Bring it back!!
I’m so disappointed I was also waiting for the 2nd season. They leave all these unsolved mysteries!!! I hate them for canceling it, I’m speechless !!!!!
Seriously!? Watched the entire first season on netflix in 2 days and then they just leave me hanging? I honestly LOVED the show, so intense and interesting, great story line, great actors…I can’t understand why they would pull the show after only one season. One season, REALLY!? Most people don’t even watch the first seasons of brand new shows with unknown actors. They need to give season two a chance. It’s ridiculously stupid to pull such and awesome show after only one season! Summer is coming up and with all these twilight fans not being able to have their fix… Read more »
Well I was very disappointed to find out that The Gates was not returning, I really wish ABC would be reconsidered
I just discovered the gates on netflix. Watched it religiously till we got to the end of season one. Loved loved loved it. Can’t believe they left you hanging at the end of season one and then cancelled so there will be no more shows. hopefully it will come back again………………
