CBS Renews 'Beyond the Gates' for Two More Seasons Through 2028

The pickup signals CBS’s confidence in a rare new, Black-led daytime drama.

Overview

  • CBS, which announced the decision Wednesday at a Los Angeles programming event, ordered Seasons 3 and 4 to keep the soap on the schedule through 2027–28.
  • CBS Entertainment chief Amy Reisenbach said the series improved its time slot and won support from the daytime community, and the network provided no new ratings with the renewal.
  • Created by Michele Val Jean, the show is the first new network daytime soap since 1999 and the first to center a predominantly Black cast since Generations ended in 1991.
  • CBS has cited early audience gains, including a premiere that reached 2.28 million viewers in L+3 and a 13.6% streaming lift over the linear audience.
  • A crossover with The Young and the Restless is slated for June on CBS, signaling a push to weave the series into the network’s broader daytime franchise.
