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 just watched season one on Netflix and loved it! I Binged the show to find out when I could see more, and was completely horrified to see that it wouldn’t be back for another season. I hate you ABC, maybe Sy-Fy can pick it up.
I’m pissed! I loved “The Gates” I was waiting for season 2 this summer! I am so disappointed!
I really liked the gate. I saw it for the first time in boston when my husband going for cancer treatments for his clinical trial. I am so sick of reality shows. That is all they have. Would rather turn off TV than watch them
Why ABC are you taking all the good stuff away 🙁 🙁
can’t belive the gate is closed for good what the ???? happened it’s was a great show i would realy like to kick the ??????? ???? out of the ***** who said it’s over
personally i enjoyed the Gates. I watched every episode!! i am really sad to hear its not coming back. It was very original and inovative.
I just wanted to let everyone know that I was really bummed when I heard that this show was cancelled. It was one of my favorite TV shows of all time…. the actors were the best and all fit so perfectly. I just wish there could be another season, or even another show similar to this one! It was certainly unlike any other summer season shows and one of the very best!
So sorry it’s not coming back. Even my husband liked watching it with me 🙁
I was so broken hearted to hear that there will be no more episodes of The Gates past season 1. I can not understand how such a great series would end where it did. I as many others do, believe that if other seasons were made it would be just as great as Lost, if not better! Please do not let “The Gates” fans down!!
I really enjoyed watching The Gates last summer. And was really looking forward to it this summer. I am getting sick and tired of really good sitcoms coming on then getting cancelled. What do we need to do to bring it back? ;(
I really liked the gates show. I was hoping it’d come back on. 🙁 it sucks that it isn’t.
I’m don’t like vampire movies or nything to do with the supernatural but ….. i loved The Gates! i am really angry that the gates along with Off The Map is gone
I don’t generally care for Vampire or Werewolf movies/shows, but I really liked this one and was looking forward to another season. SO sick of reality TV!!!!!!!!!
My husband and I really cant find anything good to watch on T.V About a year ago we saw the previews one night during the news break and decided to watch “The Gates”. I like so many others have been waiting on this summer show only to find out its cancelled. I am so tired of reality tv but teenagers love it and that is who watch tv the most so they are the targeted audience not me (36yrs old). Well I say congradulations teens the tv is all yours. I refuse to watch reality T.V Every channel have the… Read more »
Vonnie I totally agree…I am so sad the show is cancelled and am getting very sick of all the reality shows out there!
I agree as well! This was a great new series and I am sad that I will not be able to see what happens next…what a shame ABC and reality tv….
The Gates is in my top 5 favorite shows. At the age of 55 I got into this modern day vampire show that was so cool. Never had I cared for vampires before. I looked forward to it every week and to the return this summer. The whole cast was was upscale, beautiful, smart and interresting, with a cool storyline that made you look forward to the next show. Can’t believe such a cool show would run out of story line after one season. Hope the same cast is working on something new. You Rocked That Show!!!!1
