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?

please bring the gates back
come on my whole famiy liked The Gates. Even my mother and she dont watch anything with vampires and warewolfes. Please put it back on television i think that the show was not promoted well because it wasn’t until netflix i seen it and it was the bomb. Someone out there please hear our crys bring it back please!!!!!!!!!!!~!!
The Gates was a good show and I wish I could see more of the season coming up.
Thanks a lot ABC! I swear, I am only going to start watching a show when it’s in it’s 3rd or 4th season and then go back and Netflix the previous seasons. EVERY time I get into the first season of a show, especially a summer show, it gets cancelled! I really, really enjoyed watching The Gates!!!!
I found this show on NETFLIX and watched it. I loved it and wondered why I never had even seen an ad for it. No commercials referencing it or talk about it any where. I think had their been a little more press it would have done well. Press and ads = fans and ratings. duh. It is crap that it ended. Especially when part of the reason I loved it was for the attractive cast. I hate shows that have an ugly cast of characters. Honestly with the supernatural hype going on at this point I cant see how… Read more »
PLEASEEEEE bring back “the gates” please please please!!!!!!!!!
It’s always about the stupid raitnig system ! so what < it scored 7.4 wich is fair enough to continue . There should be a system or a role when any show get canceled There should be a wrapping episode just to declare briefly any unclarified events , This is the least thing they can do to us instead of leaving us hanging !
They should bring The Gates back. I was really disappointed today when I found out it was cancelled. I’ve been looking forward to it since last season. It is a wonderful show. ABC didn’t give it a fair chance. It was on late so I’m sure a lot of people recorded it to watch the next day as I did. Please give the show another chance!!
they certainly like to take off the shows that are great – certainly better than what’s on now, would like to see it continued on another channel – do you really think you know what’s worth watching – ugh
Wow I just found out it was cancelled. I was wondering why I wasn’t seeing the advertising on ABC.
We should create a big enough fan base since it’s now on Netflix and convince abc to make season 2 cause I’m already going insane not knowing what’s going on on the Gates community
I AGREE WITH CAT IAM THE SAME WAY EVERY SHOW THAT I ENJOY GETS CANCELLED. I WAS LOOKING FROWARD TO A 2 SEASON AND THEY SHOULD DO AN ENDING, I’VE SEEN SO MANY SHOWS THAT LEAVE YOU WONDERING WHAT WOULD OF HAPPEN.
Do we not even get a two our finale???????? I just started watching it on netflix a couple of days ago…this always happens to the shows i like.. PLEASE give us an ending. It’s just mean to keep it a mystery.. 🙁
I Agree with you Cat. Just started watching the series on Netflix and it was so great that I am now pissed there is not a season 2. Why is it that networks always cancel the good shows and leave on the dumb shows. Oh yeah cause we live in a country full of idiots thats why the dumb shows ratings are so high. P.s. still pissed.
This is unbelievable. Every show that you get stuck on and enjoy gets cancelled. I was looking forward to Season 2 as there is absolutely nothing on TV during the summer that is worth watching.
who ever canceled this show is an ass!
