With a powerhouse cast and an all-star creative team, this is more than just another soap opera—it’s a long-overdue cultural moment.

Beyond the Gates,' the first new daytime soap opera to debut on a major American broadcast network since 1999, is set to premiere right here on CBS 42 News on Monday.

CBS's new drama "Beyond the Gates" is the first daytime soap opera greenlit in 25 years—and the first Black-led soap in over three decades. The series follows the powerful Dupree family navigating life in an affluent Maryland suburb.
