Beyond the Gates is set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington, D.C., in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States; a posh gated community with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions to call home. At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those who live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where our characters live, love, work and play. Those who have “made it” and those who haven’t are all trying to navigate life … and some with more grace than others.

Beyond the Gates is broadcast on weekdays (2:00-3:00 p.m. ET; 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. PT) on the CBS Television Network. Full episode streaming of the series is available on Paramount+ and CBS TVE (CBS.com / CBS app).
