Celebrate Black History Month with a special exclusive screening of CBS's Beyond the Gates, the first-ever one-hour Black daytime soap opera, and the first new daytime drama in twenty-six years. Set in a posh gated Maryland community located in one of the country’s most affluent African American counties, the CBS series focuses on the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multigenerational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. In classic soap opera fashion, everyone has plenty of juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered.
After screening the series premiere, hear from actors Tamara Tunie (“Anita Dupree”), Daphnee Duplaix (“Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson”), and executive producer Sheila Ducksworth about the groundbreaking series, which premieres Monday, February 24, on CBS, and will also stream on Paramount+.
Beyond the Gates is developed and produced by the CBS Studios/NAACP Venture, in partnership with P&G Studios, a division of Procter & Gamble. The CBS Studios/NAACP production venture was established to help elevate a diverse range of voices as well as increase the visibility of Black artists on broadcast and streaming platforms in an ever-evolving media landscape.
