Here’s the official “Beyond The Gates” synopsis:
BEYOND THE GATES is set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington, D.C., and in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States. Here you’ll find a posh gated community with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions to call home. At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those who live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where our characters live, love, work and play. Those who have “made it” and those who haven’t are all trying to navigate life … and some with more grace than others.
“Beyond The Gates” marks the first-ever one-hour Black daytime soap and the first daytime drama to premiere in more than 25 years.
The series premieres February 24 at 2:00-3:00 PM ET (1:00-2:00 PM PT) on CBS and will also be available for streaming on Paramount+. Watch the teaser trailer below.
