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 can not believe they cancelled this show. I watched it on Hulu. The least they could have done was kill people off instead of saving them as this demon thing bound to protect Devon. Protect her from what the show being cancelled, well that’s a big fail !! What idiots they must having running ABC. You know what I think we need….. Another stupid reality show. Get a clue. If we wanted reality we wouldn’t be watching it on tv. We want to be entertained.
we loved that show , my sisters and nieces that would be 7 of us would watch it every sunday together, we r now left hangin!!!!!!!
I loved the show 🙁
so, I just found this series on netflix and thought it was awesome! I wish they would at least do a 2nd season just to even wrap it up!!!
I loved that show! I can’t believe they canceled it! Everytime I start to like a show they cancel it.
What? You’re joking, right? Here I’ve been waiting for ABC to post an add about the Gates coming back on…BUT IT’S CANCELED! And after all that suspense. With the son becoming that demon thing, they can’t just end it. They had a whole other waiting with that ending. Agh!!!
please bring back the show.That was the best show i every watched on abc.So pertty PLEASE BRING BACK THE SHOW
I love every moment of it. The fact that it was bloodsuckers and wolf’s in a gated community. I love it so much I watched every episode at least twice. Everything that was building up was perfect, along with the cast. What the heck is wrong with ABC, give the show to another station. BRING THE GATES BACK………
Please bring back The Gates! I still can’t believe it was cancelled! Whyyyyy ??????
Bring back “The Gates”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a great show from start to finish. I have read tons of reviews and every single one of them want the show back on. ABC you made a huge mistake taking “The Gates ” off the air. Teenage vampire shows are way too over done. “The Gates” was amazing!!!!! All of the writers and actors did an incredible job. Listen to the thousands of fans. Bring back the show right from where it left off. Please!!!!!
CANCELLED ?? WHAT ??? Surely they are joking, if it had been marketed property it would be a ratings winner, I thought it was fantastic, now we will never know what happens, and so much was buidling up………. I guess it all falls on deaf ears.
thanks for the fun
The only way to get our opinion heard is to voice it to ABC. The best thing anyone can do it send ABC an email telling them how much we all love The Gates and would love to see it return.
BRING BACK THE GATES!!!!!
I really enjoyed the show A Lot more than I thought I would. It didn’t rely on blood and guts to make a plot, but there was just enough to be unexpected and interesting. It also wasn’t something that relied on immorality to be interesting. I also love shows where the plots include people and those that are sort of people, battling their monsters within.
I lovedddddddddddddd it. I watch it on Netfix all day thursday and friday. It was great the characters was excellent. It was not the same old scene that we have all come to expect. I hope someone pick it up soon I’m feinging for another episode. Give me an ending.
i totally agree, why they would cancel such a good series, really wanted to see what happened next. started watching it on netflix and couldn’t pull myself away from it.
they should put it back on the air.
