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 am 50 and loved the gates was looking forward to it this summer same thing happen to hero’s it was good the first year and then it went somewhere. Can a show get 2 seasons this days. Makes you scared to like something because it won’t be back and that has been happening a lot lately.
Bring it back! Bring it Back! Bring it Back! Bring it Back! Bring it Back! Bring it Back! ABC Alays seems to keep the crappy shows and cut the good ones!
Did’ja ever notice that the best movies get the worst ratings? If that’s what happened to this show…..BIG mistake. The GATES had a unique and definitel;y new take on the “DARK SIDE” genre. I hate to see a fantastic cast and obviously fresh writing team take an unwarranted stab in the heart (no pun). Come’n how many freak’n “reallity” shows can one person take….? BRING IT BACK!!!!!
Bring back The Gates PLEASE! I NEVER care about TV shows, but The Gates was exceptional!! So sad its been cancelled, ABC is stupid.
This was not only my favorite TV show but that of my family and many friends as well.
If it should come back I would definitely watch it. The acting was great.
The Gates is an amazing show please bring it back!
I am really sorry not to see it come back…..I hate getting into a new show and they just cancel it. It was a great show.
I loved this show! What was amazing was the fact when I would ask other people abour it, no one seemed to know. Did it come on with other prime time shows. Did you really advertize it. It was great and maybe it was the producers and not the show!
ABC you have made a terrible mistake by taking off a great show like The Gates. That show was wonderful and exciting! It was refreshing to have a show that wasn’t all about teen moms and sex or about drugs!! Why would you even show a seasonal ending that was explosive like The Gates and not have another seasonal premier. Once again, ABC you are messing up on another great show! Please bring The Gates back!!!!
Please give us the season 2 . I Not over the way the last episode show. The chief son had power now what will happend do we ever know. Is a possibilité to see that incredible TV serie on another channel if this one is not interested in continue.
Hope see

Congatulationto alle the actor you were wonderfull.
I don’t understand why you would cancel such a good show. It does not make any sense. All of the horrible things on TV, such as Jersey Shore, 16 and pregnant, and teen mom; and you decided to cancel The Gates?!?! What the hell, man..
Ugh! No ABC for me this year! It has cancelled yet another show that my family enjoyed! Here’s an idea, take a show that is different, refreshing, and captivates audiences…and cancell it!!! Let’s keep crappy reality tv looking for talent that doesn’t exist…America doesn’t have enough of those! Big mistake ABC!
if there is anyway we can get this show back i am more then willing 2 help pssss bring back the gates the cast was gr8 ans the show was so gr8 .
BRING. BACK. THE GATES. NOW!!!! >:(
I love this show found it on Netflix bring it back please
