Development and production
In January 2009, The Gates was among numerous television pilot|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.[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.[7]
Casting began in January 2010.[8] 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.[9] Late March 2010 castings included Marisol Nichols and Rhona Mitra in leading roles.[10] Victoria Platt, Skyler Samuels and newcomer Justin Miles were also cast in the project.[10] Paul Blackthorne will appear in a recurring role.[11]
Filming began in Shreveport, Louisiana on March 29, 2010, and was expected to continue until August 2010.[12][13] Original reports by Variety suggested that the series might be filmed overseas,[14] with another outlet mentioning South America.[15]
