CBS
Although the network has yet to announce what will air in the show’s timeslot immediately after the talk show concludes its run, beginning Monday, February 24, 2025, CBS is set to launch “Beyond the Gates,” the first-ever one-hour daytime soap opera featuring a predominantly Black cast and the first daytime drama series to premiere since “Passions” in 1999. The series is set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington D.C. and in one of the most affluent African American counties in the United States.
“Beyond the Gates” will take over the 2:00 p.m. ET/1:00 p.m. PT slot on CBS following the conclusion of “The Talk.” The network has not revealed what programming will air during the gap between the two shows.
*Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers will have access to stream Live via the live feed of their local CBS affiliate on the service, as well as On Demand. Paramount+ Essential subscribers will not have the option to stream Live but will have access to On Demand the day after the series airs.
