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 totally shocked and I think the network needs to wake up on this one..
i watched the show faithfully n DVR when I couldnt (still have the episodes) It was an interesting show I was excited to see what was going to happen next. Hopefully another station is smart enough to pick it up 🙂 fingers crossed
I found this show on netflix seeing as its hard now a days to find a good show until after people talk about it. I really got into this one it just takes time now for people to find a show because alot of duds are out there. I was really excited on seeing the second season but disapointed when i just found it that the show has been canceled. I believe producers should slow down and give shows a chance because the public has changed and not everyone has time in their busy lives to turn on the tv… Read more »
I am really bummed about this! I really liked this show… DANG IT!
I finally had to chance to watch it was awesome and relatable… Its just as bad as when Kyle xy was canceled.
booooo!!! i loved the show and was so excited for the next season,
omg! i watched all season ! come on , i was waiting for season 2 🙁 i need some closure for my characters ~! loved all the actors ~ sad it won’t be back 🙁
Watched it from beginning to now end, not happy it’s not coming back on. I loved it!
I really wish they wouldn’t cancel the gates.. I LOVED it last summer and was looking forward for it to start this year.. 🙁 Really SAD…
too bad…this was a great show. I loved it on netflix and would have loved a 2nd season.
I reallyenjoyed this show. I’m sorry that isn’t coming back. It seems to me that shows aren’t allowed to find their audiences anymore. If a show isn’t an immediate hit, it’s cancelled. With so many choices on TV and cable, it takes time for people to find good shows.
That really sucks (no pun) I want more !!!!!
I also found it on Netflix–I can’t believe it’s been cancelled!!!! ABC wake up! Maybe another channel will be smart enough to pick it up!
I really wish you would bring this show back. I only saw a few episodes because you did not advertise it properly.

I didn;t even know about it untill I saw it on netflix. I spent a whole day watching it and searching for when it was coming on again. I am SO SAD to see it gone. They should of gave it one more run and GOT THE WORD out a bit more!
It had a really interesting situations. It was different and I liked it!
