As the cast and crew of “Beyond the Gates” celebrated taping the show’s 200th episode this week, reports emerged online indicating that episodes from Season 1 of the daytime drama series would air through November, with Season 2 launching immediately afterward. That information is incorrect.
Soap Opera Network has learned that new episodes from Season 1 of “Beyond the Gates” will continue to air through the end of 2025, and following a brief production hiatus, filming for Season 2 will commence in September with those episodes scheduled to air in 2026 – the soap opera is roughly four plus months ahead in terms of tape-to-air, and two plus months ahead script-to-tape.
In May, CBS renewed the soap opera for a second season, with the network touting the show’s success and improving its time period by +48% among Total Viewers, according to Most Current and Season-to-Date ratings data released by Nielsen at the time.
“To my #BeyondTheGates family: can you believe we shot episode 200 today?! I’m so grateful for every single one of you and I love you all with my whole heart,” said Michele Val Jean, the show’s creator, showrunner, executive producer and head writer, in a post on X (formerly Twitter). “Thank you for your talent, commitment and dedication. Here’s to the next 200.”
Val Jean’s post was in response to an Instagram reel shared by cast member Ambyr Michelle (Eva Thomas) that was later re-shared by Lauren Buglioli (Vanessa McBride), among others, which shows the cast and crew celebrating their accomplishment with a party that took place at Assembly Studios, where the series is taped in Atlanta.
Other cast members also shared behind-the-scenes videos and messages for the show’s fans, thanking them for their support.

On Thursday, August 21, Ambyr Michelle posted a message on Instagram, giving her personal perspective on wrapping her first season as a series regular on a television show, saying, “We officially made it to 200 episodes! God is sooo amazing!! Here’s to 2,000 more! And BEYOND that!!!” She added, “Although there’s no ‘wrapping’ in the Soap World — we’re honored to go into episode 201. Stay Tuned!!!”
On Sunday, August 24, “Beyond the Gates” will officially mark its six-month anniversary since making its debut on CBS (February 24, 2025) and streaming on Paramount+.
Recently, Pluto TV launched a dedicated “Beyond the Gates” channel, allowing fans to watch the series 24/7, with the latest episodes dropping eight days after their premiere on CBS.
