The big crossover between “Beyond the Gates” and “The Young and the Restless” took place during the week of June 8-12, 2026, and saw both soaps up among Total Viewers, while “NBC News Daily” saw a surge among Women 25-54 and Total Viewers, both week-to-week and year-over-year, with the former the largest across daytime broadcast.

Beyond the Gates Ratings

Attracting its second-largest audience of the season, the big “Beyond the Gates” crossover with “The Young and the Restless” saw the newest player in the daytime drama game up +162,000 viewers week-to-week (1.796 million vs. 1.634 million) and a whopping +248,000 compared to the same week last year (1.796 million vs. 1.548 million), with the soap opera’s largest year-over-year gain to date among Total Viewers. The series tied its season high among Women 18-49 (0.19 rating), up +0.01 week-to-week (0.19 rating vs. 0.18 rating), with its best overall performance in 15 weeks (since the week of February 23-27, 2026), and also tied its second best performance of the season among Women 25-54 (0.29 rating), up +0.02 week-to-week (0.29 rating vs. 0.27 rating). Further, the soap topped time slot competitor “General Hospital” in both Women 18-49 (0.19 rating vs. 0.17 rating) and Women 25-54 (0.29 rating vs. 0.23 rating).

Though the figures were rounded up, a CBS press release shared in June noted that “Beyond the Gates” was up +11% from its season-to-date average among Total Viewers, while the episodes featuring characters from “The Young and the Restless,” including Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman), Diane Jenkins Abbott (Susan Walters), Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor), Devon Winters (Bryton James) and Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway), saw the drama series attract its largest ever audience for a Thursday and Friday, with Thursday, June 11 averaging 1.83 million viewers and Friday, June 12 averaging 1.84 million viewers. Meanwhile, the Tuesday, June 9 episode (1.80 million) was the most-watched Tuesday for the series since February 24, 2026, and the Wednesday, June 10 episode (1.87 million) was the most-watched Wednesday for the series since January 28, 2026.

In addition to being up over its own performance one year earlier among Total Viewers, compared to former time-slot occupant “The Talk,” “Beyond the Gates” is also up +609,000 over the former talk show’s performance in 2024, up +343,000 over 2022, up +522,000 over 2021, and up +487,000 over 2020.

BTG Note: This week’s report corrects a previous error published in previous reports, indicating the number of consecutive weeks in which “Beyond the Gates” is up year-over-year among Total Viewers. The corrected number is now at 14 consecutive weeks (began week of March 9-13, 2026). Meanwhile, Total Viewers for “The Talk” in 2023 were unavailable due to the ongoing writers’ strike, which saw the program airing reruns.
