ABC has given a 13-episode order to The Gates, a crime drama set in a gated suburban community. Written by Richard Hatem and Grant Scharbo, The Gates centers on a big-city cop who becomes chief of police in a seemingly sleepy planned community only to discover there’s much more to the residents than meets the eye.
Production on the series is slated to begin in early to mid-2010, with South America among the locations considered for the shoot.

The order is contingent on the production company securing foreign financing.
