Development and Production

In January 2009, The Gates was among numerous television pilot scripts being considered by ABC for the 2009–2010 season.[6] 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.[7] A green-light for the 13 episode order was contingent on international financing for the project, 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 Nichol 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]


Series Cancellation

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 wasn't going to be renewed.[17] In October 2010 several of the show's stars confirmed that the show had indeed been canceled and that there would be no second season.[18][19]
