The Gates is an American supernatural [1] crime drama [2] television series that aired on the ABC network from June 20, 2010, to September 19, 2010. [3] [4] The show was cancelled after its first season due to low ratings.
Nick Monahan and his family move from Chicago to a serene, upscale community called The Gates, where he has a job as the new chief of police. They soon realise that the community is unlike any other, consisting of mysterious neighbors who are not what they appear to be. [1] [5] [6]
In January 2009, The Gates was among numerous pilot scripts being considered by ABC for the 2009–2010 season. [7] It was not until October 2009 that ABC first announced development of the series, which is an international co-production for Fox Television Studios through their international paradigm. [2] A green-light for the 13 episode order was contingent on international financing for the project, [2] which makes the series more economically feasible as a summer replacement. [8]
Casting began in January 2010. [9] In early February, casting announcements included Frank Grillo in a lead role, as well as Luke Mably, Janina Gavankar, and Chandra West having joined the cast. [10] Late March 2010 castings included Marisol Nichols and Rhona Mitra in leading roles. [11] Victoria Platt, Skyler Samuels and newcomer Justin Miles were also cast in the project. [11] Paul Blackthorne will appear in a recurring role. [12]
Filming began in Shreveport, Louisiana on March 29, 2010, and was expected to continue until August 2010. [13] [14] Original reports by Variety suggested that the series might be filmed overseas, [15] with another outlet mentioning South America. [16] The show has featured music by a variety of artists, including indie folk songwriter Quinn Marston. [17] [18]
Soon after the first season finished airing there were rumors that the show would not be returning for a second season. These rumors were further fueled by cast member Grillo's tweets suggesting that his contract was not going to be renewed. [19] In October 2010 several of the show's stars confirmed that the show had indeed been canceled and that there would not be a second season. [20] [21]
