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 really loved this show. I wish ABC would reconsider
the cancellation of this show. I was looking foward to seeing what was going to happen next.
have watched this show all the way from africa kenya. The most fantastic series great actors as good as any top rated series currently. Still hopeful of a come back!
I loved this show soooo much! Soo sad to see it come to an end without even trying for a season two to see if they could raise the ratings at all and keep it going. Theres not many good tv shows out there now and this one was really really good. I really hope they change their mind and make a seasone two.
WHY?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ABC SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really wish there could be a second season – one is just not enough!
IM SO SAD TO HEAR THAT THE GATES WILL NOT BE C OMING BACK. I WAS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE SECOND SEASON WHY NOT JUST TRY ANOTHER FEW EPISODES? IM SURE IT WILL TAKE OFF TILL YOUR POTENTIAL IT WAS GOOOOOD. AND IM A 31 YEAR OLD WOMAN.I LOVE ALL THE CHARACTER ESPECIALL THE CHIEF.
I cant believe there isnt going to be a second season! I thought the show was great!! I couldnt wait till it came out again! Pssft… why do they always do that?? A good show comes out and then gets cancelled?? Dumb i say.
I hope the reconsider their decision.
pls. come up with another season, i love the story…everyone here’s in singapore likes it.
they shouldn’t ended it. Many people love it..
This is ridiculous! They go off the # of viewers the network shows, but does it show who watches it on Hulu, or records it on their DVR? They need to rethink this decision! Why can’t good TV stay on TV? There’s an overload of crap!
Well just about everyone I know watched the show and loved it…all of my Canadian friends loved it. All the best shows get cancelled. With so many countries getting American shows and DVR and Tivo…how can it be proven that ratings are really low….just saying!
Just like ABC to cancel a good series. This is why I only watch Greys Anatomy and nothing else.
i was looking forward so muc what to seeing what happens next in the Gates but its so sad there wont be a season 2
I loved the show! It was by far the best supernatural show on regular T.V. I am so sad it is gone. I watched every week. R.I.P. to THE GATES.
No no no there must be a season 2!
What about the fans that do love The Gates?
You can’t just leave us!
Please please think about the fans that have been waiting so long for season 2.
I talked to all of my friends and I talked 4 out of 7 into watching it and they liked it.
Please don’t just give up on The Gates just because its not getting the rating you like. Some movies takes awhile to get a good rating. 🙁 🙁 🙁
