The first post shared on the platforms was a video of cast members Tamara Tunie, Clifton Davis, Daphnee Duplaix and Karla Mosley appearing on set and dressed as their characters as they tell potential viewers when to expect the show to premiere.
“We are the Dupree family, and we are thrilled to announce the premiere of our new daytime drama, ‘Beyond the Gates,’” announces Tunie, who plays matriarch Anita, at the start of the video. “It’s coming to CBS so soon, and we can’t wait for you to see all the drama unfold,” adds Duplaix and Mosley, who play Anita’s daughters, Nicole and Dani, respectively. The video concludes with Davis, playing Dupree family Patriarch Vernon, telling viewers to “Be sure to tune in” and Tunie noting, “Get ready.”

Set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington D.C., and in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States, “Beyond the Gates” is where viewers will find a posh gated community filled with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions that the wealthy call home. At the center of it all are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family who are the very definition of Black royalty.
Behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered, while those living outside these gates are watching ever closely. For every person who has “made it,” there are always those who have not. Follow the characters as they live, love, work, and play, all while trying to navigate life… some more gracefully than others.
Developed and produced by the CBS Studios/NAACP Venture, led by Sheila Ducksworth, in partnership with P&G Studios, a division of Procter & Gamble, “Beyond the Gates” marks the first-ever one-hour Black daytime soap opera and the first daytime drama series to premiere since “Passions” in 1999.
Created by Michele Val Jean, who also serves as showrunner, executive producer and head writer, the “Beyond the Gates” producing team includes Robert Guza Jr. (“General Hospital,” “Sunset Beach”), Julie Carruthers (“All My Children,” “Port Charles”), Leon Russell, Derrick Johnson, Kimberly Doebereiner and Anna Saalfeld. They join the aforementioned Val Jean and Ducksworth as executive producers.
