The Gates is an American supernatural[1] crime drama television series that premiered on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) network on Sunday, June 20, 2010.[2]
The series revolves around a group of supernatural beings that live in a gated community. A human family arrives to take up residence there and the story of the series begins.
Within this series, there is at least one character, Andie Bates, who appears to be a succubus and is referred to as such in the series.
While she has been called one by the local doctor, cannot be said to be a traditional Succubus based on events in the series. She does feed on the energies of other people, but does not seem to claim their souls as traditional succubi do. She also has no evidence of horns or wings as the modern depictions of Succubi do.
For further on Andie Bates, see her article in the SuccuWiki here. For a general discussion of Succubi and their mythos in the series, see that article here.

Development and Production
In January 2009, The Gates was among numerous television pilot scripts being considered by ABC for the 2009–2010 season.[5] 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.[6] 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.[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 Nichol 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]
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.[16] 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.[17][18]
