CBS has officially set a premiere date for 'Beyond the Gates', its new daytime drama and the first show in over 35 years to spotlight a Black family. Set to debut on February 24, the series started production earlier this month in Atlanta and brings fresh energy to CBS’ daytime lineup, which also includes 'The Young and the Restless' and 'The Bold and the Beautiful'. This marks a rare addition to the daytime drama genre, as 'Beyond the Gates' is the first new soap opera on network television since 'Passions' premiered in 1999.

The series is being developed and produced by the CBS Studios/NAACP Venture, under the leadership of Sheila Ducksworth, in collaboration with P&G Studios, a division of Procter & Gamble. 'Beyond the Gates' was created by Michele Val Jean, known for her work on 'The Bold and the Beautiful' and 'General Hospital', who also serves as the showrunner. Here's everything you need to know about 'Beyond the Gates'.

'Beyond the Gates' takes place in a beautiful, tree-lined suburb of Maryland, just outside Washington, DC, in one of the wealthiest Black communities in America. Here, the Duprees, a powerful and distinguished family, live within a posh gated community surrounded by luxurious homes and manicured gardens. While they appear to embody "Black royalty," their lives are filled with secrets and scandals that threaten their pristine image—and those outside the gates are watching closely. This community is where our characters work, love, and navigate life, some with grace and others not so easily.
