Beyond the Gates is unlike any soap opera you’ve ever seen.
Touted as the first Black daytime soap in over 35 years (and the first-ever, hour-long soap led by a Black cast), the explosive drama, which premieres Feb. 24 on CBS, follows the prestigious, multi-generational Dupree family and their lives in a leafy Washington, D.C., suburb, one of the most affluent African-American counties in the nation.
But behind the upscale gated community of Fairmont Crest, with its five-star dining and exclusive country clubs, the Duprees’ seemingly picture-perfect lives are laced with secrets and scandals.
The cast includes Tamara Tunie (As the World Turns) as matriarch Anita Dupree, Clifton Davis (Amen) as patriarch Vernon Dupree, Daphnee Duplaix (Passions) as Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson and Karla Mosley (The Bold and the Beautiful) as Dani Dupree.
