CBS is extending its time Beyond the Gates by a significant amount.
Along with unveiling its primetime schedule for 2026-27 on Wednesday, the network announced that it has renewed its daytime series Beyond the Gates for two more seasons. The pickup will take the soap opera through its fourth season in 2027-28.
Beyond the Gates has performed solidly for CBS since it premiered in February 2025, improving ratings for its afternoon time period over The Talk. It has also helped the network extend its decades-long winning streak in daytime.

Beyond the Gates is the first daytime drama to center Black characters since NBC’s Generations, which ran from 1989-91. It was also the first new daytime soap, period, to premiere since 1999’s Passions, also on NBC.
The show’s cast includes Tamara Tunie, Clifton Davis, Daphnee Duplaix, Karla Mosley, Alex Alegria, Lauren Buglioli, Brandon Claybon, Timon Kyle Durrett, Sean Freeman, Ben Gavin, Marquita Goings, Jibre Hordges, Jen Jacob, Trisha Mann-Grant, Mike Manning, RhonniRose Mantilla, Ambyr Michelle, Colby Muhammad, Arielle Prepetit and Keith D. Robinson.
The show is produced by the CBS Studios/NAACP Venture, led by Sheila Ducksworth, in partnership with P&G Studios. Michele Val Jean created the series and serves as showrunner, executive producing with Ducksworth, Julie Carruthers, Robert Guza Jr., Leon W. Russell, Derrick Johnson, Kimberly Doebereiner and Anna Saalfeld.
