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 have been waiting for the Gates to come back on and was totally upset to read it was cancelled. What can be done to change ABC’s minds? They keep all the stupid shows on TV like Two and a half men, and other dumb shows like that, but take off a finally really good program. What do we need to do to change their minds and bring it back? Give it another try.
TrueBlood is going on season 4, The Gates rocked even harder and is cancelled after season 1? Really? Way Lame:(
Wow…..My entire family was really looking forward to another summer with an excellent and talented cast!! I would have never of guessed that this show would have ever been cancelled. I dont have much time to sit and watch a tv show but I found myself making time to sit and watch the Gates. I wish the cast of the Gates good luck and we will be looking forward to seeing your faces in the future!
Sad Fan
P.S. abc you should have tried changing the time the Gates aired you would have had more viewers!
I watched The Gates on Netflix. After finishing the season I jumped online to see if and when I could find season 2. SOOO disappointed there isnt one:(
So sad : ( Just watched Season 1 on NetFlix and was Super excited to find out when Season 2 would come out. Disappointed the network didn’t get it enough time.
bring the gates back!!!!!
Just looked up The gates to see when my favorite Summer Replacement would be back on the air. Sorry to hear the jerks at the network decided not to give it a 2nd season. It was different from the other shows and they should have given it more marketing. It was fun to watch and it never had the marketing behind it to draw a larger audience. I’m sure those of us who watched it were hooked and I’m not hooked on to many shows these days.
Omg i would so love to see this show back ! i loved it so much, I totally agree this would go over great on the CW ! they so should not have canceled it grrrrrrrr
I loved the show. The comment from the previous fan is right . TV is saturated with shows related to crimes and police shows in addition of reality shows that are not even entertainment for anyone. At least we the fans should have the option to be able to finish seeing the show on DV D.
I’ve been looking forward to watching this show again all winter and now it’s canceled! Networks really need to start giving shows enough time to get off the ground before getting rid of them.
the gates was an amazing show and they need to make a series 2 cause the ending of season 1 was so exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙁
the gates was a very very interesting show. we are soooooooo disappointed that the show just died like that cause it was just getting heaka goood man!
i think this sucks. i loved this show. watched it with my grandma r.i.p. i hope some picks it up. and i agree im tired oof finding a show only to get rejected
So tired of getting into a show just to have it cancelled. Unless its a police show or about murders they don’t think we need to see it. Some of us like the supernatural. If their marketing dept. would have done a better job it could have had a better following. The first season is all about introducing the people in the show. Glad the sports teams give it more than a couple of weeks to get the ball rolling or no one would ever have a winning team. Guess they didn’t think about building for the future. This is… Read more »
The CW would be a perfect network for this show. I hope somebody picks it up.
