ABC's The Gates cancelled

[Dream]

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?

I knew that there were some fans here that might be interested in this news.

It was one of the more promising summer shows this year but its execution failed it. It could have been a great supernatural soap opera but the characters just didn't work and the storylines just didn't excite me.

I'm not really surprised by this news since almost--if not all--broadcast summer series never get more than 13 episodes--NBC's Windfall, ABC's Traveler, NBC's Persons Unknown, this. I doubt its companion series Scoundrels will get renewed either.

Lindsey Lohan was on that show? I didn't know that.

She wasn't--I think what the article means is she was a fan of the show and was hoping it would return.

The Vampire Diaries is a great show for those searching for a new vamp series to watch.

It shaped up surprisingly well after flailing for four or five eps. It was better than anything else ABC has on now, but oh well. I was only marginally interested in seeing more.
