ABC is premiering a brand new show this weekend that has been described as “Desperate Housewives” meets “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”. On Sunday, June 20th, “The Gates” makes its debut to the summer season, taking you to an exclusive community that spins the drama of living in the suburbs with a supernatural twist. Check out the synopsis for the pilot episode, the tantalizing first seventeen minutes of the show, and a intro to the show by star, Rhona Mitra. For our readers outside of the States, I’ve also included sneak peeks of the show that are included in the aforementioned seventeen-minute sneak peek.
“The Gates” Synopsis of Pilot Episode
THE GATES – “Pilot” – The Monohan family move into their new home in The Gates, an exclusive community of perfectly manicured lawns and friendly neighbors. But things grow complicated when Nick Monohan, the new Chief of Police, has to investigate those neighbors in a missing persons case during his first day on the job. Claire and Dylan Radcliff fight to hide not only their involvement in Nick’s case, but their rather unusual family secret. Meanwhile, Charlie Monohan tries to adjust to his new school, finding a friend in the beautiful but unavailable Andie Bates. Just when his family is finally settling in, Nick’s world is rocked by a late-night caller with some terrible news, on the premiere of “The Gates,” SUNDAY, JUNE 20 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
