Beyond the Gates: Premiere Date, Time Slot Set by CBS

[BetterForgotten]

Anna Saalfeld, fyi, is another P&G executive. So P&G has 2 executives that are credited as EP’s on this show. Interesting…

Tamara Tunie and Tonya Pinkins were my two top picks for women characters. I am also hoping that Tonya Pinkins will be in the cast as well.

Tamara Tunie is amazing from what I've seen. I can't wait!

I hope that someone will be posting BTG episodes for all of us outside the US lol.

Beyond The Gates will be available on Paramount+ at launch. I believe in territories without Paramount+, original series are available on the local Prime Video service.

I think they will be up on CBS's official site... that can be played with a browser vpn-add on. Opera browser even has one pre-installed. That's how I watch CBS episodes.

I know they don't use this logo anymore but can it make a return?? After the closing credits!!

What's good about Anita is that she is a Diana Ross-type character with a singing background, and Tamara can sure as hell pull that off as she also sings.

As I said to someone when I got wind of the news yesterday, I wouldn't be surprised to see The Gates release a "Music from the Series" soundtrack (Season 1) with Tunie and others singing, possibly.  It would be a great marketing tie-in and would fit the culture very well.

I am dying just reading this and imagining it. I want to see a Diana Ross-type in a soap sooo much. It will be so grand and soap-opera worthy!

[Liberty City]

Oh that would be amazing!!! Absolutely amazing!!! A great way to cross-promote!!!

[Soapsuds]

Maybe Tamara can nudge MVJ towards Scott Bryce way!!

I would love to see Debbi Morgan of course, but Debbi doesn't need the work. (Then again nor does Tamara.)

It's obviously not a priority but given the deep GH bench at the show I wouldn't be shocked to see Sarah Brown turn up. If they really wanted to troll ABC they'd try to get Vanessa Marcil to pull a Rosemary Prinz guest stint, but that would also potentially fly in the face of the show's Black-focused goals atm. Not sure adding a big white star would send a great message out of the uh, gate. Vicky Rowell, OTOH...

The thought did cross my mind lol.  I would love to see Lamman Rucker and Loren Lott cast too.

I'm still trying to figure out what the hell the official name is for the CBS/NAACP Venture. They always refer to it by "the CBS Studios/NAACP Venture," which makes no sense in terms of a business name. I wonder if they'll just call it CBS Studios/NAACP Venture Productions or something like that. Or if it will be CBS Studios in one card, followed by NAACP in another. It's so weird.

That being said, I LOVED the PGP closing. It was the only way I felt the episode of their dramas was truly over for that day's airing.

[DramatistDreamer]

Yeah, I think that the core family cast should take priority. It’s very early casting announcements.
