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?

So sad that some crap series are still going on air,bring it back dont cancel it when the serier is on their Peak.
its really sad… The gates is really awsome, one the bests series ive ever seen, was loving it and now this ? Here in Angola is seen by FOX, since its first episode that i dont lose one of the gates… Please producers and directors m rethink about the gates
This was really a great show. I really was looking foward to seeing the next season because the way it ended was so making me want for more. Maybe it should not have come on in the summer. Seems like a good fall show to cuddle up with on a thursday night.
I have no idea how long this show has been out, but I just finished watching the last episode on Netflix last night. When I couldn’t find Season 2, I decided to look it up when it would be out. And this is what I find. There is no Season 2! I am VERY disappointed. Bring back the Gates!
man that really sucks that there’s not going to be a season 2 i was sooo looking to see what comes next this show was so awesome
i am very upset that the show is over i enjoyed it very much makes me sad!!!
Bring Back the Gates. Its the best supernatural show yet
They need to wrap up a show if they are not going to bring it back. Closure is important. I will hesitate before starting to get hooked on another show from ABC.
I am not happy they cancelled the gates. I looked forward to it every week, and waiting for the returning season. They should rethink cancelling the show
i was really looking forward to the gates second season but now finding out that it was cancelled im really disappointed
This totally bites!! I looked forward to my sunday nights watching The Gates. Why in the world would they cancel such an awesome show? Ugh!
really pisses me off when great TV shows are cancelled with no closure and with fans expecting a return the following season, very poor network planning…there have been several other series cancelled and yet we keep Two and a half Men without Charlie Sheen.WTF?
Sucks I’m almost halfway through first season on Netflix and I’m loving it! Now I heard its canceled?! Totally bummed out!
I just finished season one on netflixs and i when to look at season two and saw it was canceled how sad.
It really burns me up when you start watching a show and never know how it turns out because the execs are to worried about ratings and money.
I can’t believe the gates was cancelled it was the best i was looking forward to season 2, now i’ll never know how it ends. I hate when things like this happen, I tapes very show for season one and the one vampire guy is sexy, love to see him in another hit vampire show
