Beyond the Gates: CBS Releases Super-Soapy First Teaser for New Daytime Drama

Christmas has come early for daytime soap fans, with CBS’ release of a first peek Beyond the Gates of the medium’s first new series in a quarter-century (seen below).

Premiering Monday, Feb. 24, 2025 at 2 pm ET, Beyond the Gates takes place “in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington, D.C., in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States,” according to the official logline. “At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those that live outside these gates are watching closely.”
