CBS’ “Beyond the Gates” is one of several shows scheduled to take part in SCAD TVfest, the annual television festival that spotlights the latest in design, creativity, and innovation on television, streaming and digital media.
The festival, which runs from February 5-7 in Atlanta, Georgia, will feature a screening and panel discussion with cast members from the daytime drama series on Wednesday, February 5 at 4:30 p.m. local time. Individual tickets to the event cost just $5.00.
Scheduled to take part are actors Clifton Davis, Daphnee Duplaix and Karla Mosley, as well as executive producer Sheila Ducksworth, who is also president of the CBS Studios/NAACP Venture that is spearheading the series.
“Beyond the Gates” follows an affluent Black family who hold court over the fictional Fairmont Crest Estates, a posh gated community that’s the center of luxury with wealthy residents harboring deep secrets. The series premieres Monday, February 24 at 2:00 p.m. ET/1:00 p.m. PT on CBS.
Earlier this week, potential viewers got a taste of what the show is all about when CBS released a second promo for the series, airing it after the big AFC Divisional Playoff game on Sunday and across its daytime and primetime schedule in the days that followed.
Additional screenings and panels taking place during the festival include such shows as “Agatha All Along,” “The Amazing Race,” “Shōgun,” “St. Dennis Medical,” “Found,” “Cobra Kai,” “The Recruit,” “Tyler Perry’s Sistas” and “Outlander,” among others. “Stranger Things” creators the Duffer Brothers will receive the Variety Showrunner Award at the festival, and will also take part in a screening of their hit Netflix series.
Tickets to the festival cost as low as $5.00 for an individual ticket to a single screening and panel, and $50 for a general public day pass ($25 for SCAD members/alumni) that gives access to all screenings and panels taking place on the chosen day. Tickets top out at $125 for a general public festival pass ($100 for SCAD members/alumni) with access to all screenings and panels taking place over the three days.
