During the week of September 1-5, CBS will once again air encores of “Beyond the Gates” in place of all-new episodes, the network confirmed on Friday. Original episodes return Monday, September 8.
The decision comes as no surprise, considering episodes from Season 1, approximately 200 in total, are set to finish airing at the end of 2025 as Soap Opera Network exclusively reported last week. As of Friday, August 29, just 123 episodes of “Beyond the Gates” have aired.
Renewed for a second season in May, production is set to begin in September for those episodes, which are scheduled to air in 2026.
Like the network did when it aired a full week’s worth of encores during the week of June 30-July 4, 2025, which featured the first five episodes of the series, the next set of encores will also be connected, specifically those episodes surrounding Ted’s (then played by Maurice Johnson) and Nicole’s (Daphnée Duplaix) anniversary party.

Originally broadcast in early May, though partially impacted by CBS’ commitment to airing UEFA Champions League Soccer, the episodes saw the revelation of Ted’s long ago affair with Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant) that, unknowing to him, resulted in a child, who turned out to be Eva (Ambyr Michelle), the woman who intentionally inserted herself into his life with Nicole to get closer to him and get what she thought she and her mother deserved for him abandoning them.
By the fifth episode, Nicole felt betrayed by Ted and essentially saw her marriage collapse before her eyes.
When original episodes of “Beyond the Gates” return on September 8, look for Joey (Jon Lindstrom) and Vanessa (Lauren Buglioli) to get caught in the act by Vanessa’s husband, Doug (Jason Graham). Ironic, considering Joey admits to Vanessa in a clip that he has “no problem lying to Doug if it means bringing [her] to [him] where [she] belongs.” Meanwhile, Nicole sets Ted (now played by Keith D. Robinson) straight. Elsewhere, Eva comforts her momma Leslie, who sobbingly declares, “I’m not some low-class joke. I am somebody.”
As the Duprees rush to save Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla), Kat (Colby Muhammad), Jacob (Jibre Hordges) and Madison (Kenjah) put their lives at risk. Will they get to Chelsea in time before Allison (Brianna Roberts) makes her next move, or will they find themselves permanently derailed? You’ll have to tune in to find out!
