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 upset The Gates is cancelled. It was the only show we looked forward to watching last summer. Nothing else is on and this show was so different and clever. I’m SAD! 🙁
I waited all season for Gate to start and I find out it has be cancelled! WHY!!! bring it back. What’s wrong with you ABC!!!
I am soooo SAD to see it go. Why is it that ABC gets rid of every show I love. I am starting to take it personally! I absolutely LOVED the Gates! I looked forward to it every week! I thought the entire cast was smart and fantastic as was the story line! Please bring it back. There is so much junk on TV! Why does all the good stuff go! God bless you all. I wish you all great things and great work really really fast. You all deserve it!
bring this show back, was looking forward to this season. bring it back
you have to bring it back, was looking forward to this season. stop cancelling shows so fast
This sucks, just when we get something we want to watch, you people decide its not good enough. What did it not have enough sex, foul language in it or what? It is cleaner than True Blood, but it was a good show. Guess I know I won’t be watching your TV channel for a while. You suck
BRING BACK! i loved this show, we have to know what happens with charlie!
Loved The Gates. Bring it back. Dont leave us hanging!
Seems the wrong people are making the wrong decisions, yet again! What an awesome TV series! My wife & I both didn’t miss an episode. So sad!!!
Please bring back The Gates. I found this show on Netflix and loved it. I don’t see why it was canceled. BRING BACK THE GATES!
Wish it would have made it to another season. I represent an older generation and still wish it would have renewed.
This is starting to become a dead horse. Every time you turn around shows on the prime newtorks are being cancelled. It is like seriously what is the point. Already I seen several shows I like be cancelled. I hate this new reality TV and I refuse to watch TV unless there is something of interest to me. But now in days everytime i get into a show it seems to get cancelled. I going to get to a point where I may not watch TV at all. So sad the show got cancelled but I honestly felt this was… Read more »
I”m bummed! I really enjoyed this summer series. I was looking forward to it and patiently waiting until I figured I should “google” it…only to find out it’s cancelled. There are no other summer series…just reruns! It was nice to watch something fun that I haven’t already seen 5 times! Mistake!
I was so looking forward to season 2, this really sucks. They put out knew shows & then cancel them without even wrapping them up! What a load of ****!!
What the heck is on in the summer anyway? Reruns this was not a fall show. Come on ABC who is in charge. All my children and One life to live making every housewive pissed off. Now some summer veiwing the family likes. Wow ABC that is why I watch Fox Fringe they don’t kill shows so fast.
