In April, we delivered news that CBS had green-lighted its new soap The Gates and since then, not only has the show’s title been updated to Beyond the Gates, we got an official premiere date back in November. The soap will begin on Monday, February 24, 2025, unfolding every weekday from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm., taking the place of The Talk, which was cancelled earlier this year.
Creator, executive producer and showrunner Michele Val Jean has worked alongside executive producers Sheila Ducksworth, Robert Guza Jr., Julie Carruthers, Leon W. Russell, Derrick Johnson, Kimberly Doebereiner and Anna Saalfeld to deliver the soap that will take viewers inside the leafy Maryland suburb, just outside of Washington, D.C., in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States.
And now, we’ve gotten the first official trailer for the brand new sudser, which you can check out below, featuring the best use of a golf club we’ve seen in ages!
Welcome to Fairmont Crest, indeed!
The teaser introduces the Duprees – a prominent Black family who hold court over their affluent community in Maryland from Fairmont Crest, the country club at the center of their luxurious enclave filled with wealthy residents harboring deep secrets. Behind the pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. Clearly! While those inside may be working to keep those secrets hidden, others outside the gates will be watching closely.
