Although it was removed from the streaming service following the launch of Season 2 last Friday, all 200 episodes from Season 1 of “Beyond the Gates” have since been restored to Paramount+ as of Tuesday, January 6.
In addition to returning to Paramount+, the series is also back on Pluto TV with its dedicated On Demand channel.
While no official reason for the removal and subsequent restoration has been released at press time, it’s understood that “Beyond the Gates” was expected to follow the one season/current season streaming model used by sister soaps “The Bold and the Beautiful” (Season 39) and “The Young and the Restless”(Season 53), but because CBS owns the new soap through CBS Studios, both divisions of Paramount, a Skydance Corporation, the network and the streamer were able work out a deal that would keep episodes from earlier seasons on the service for far longer.
Cast member Mike Manning (Bradley “Smitty” Smith) commented on the situation on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “Hey #BeyondTheGates fans, Season 1 should now be back on @paramountplus. As a brand new show, we know how important it is to make episodes accessible to as many as we can. Thanks for sticking w/ us!”
Debuting February 24, 2025, “Beyond the Gates” was the first new soap opera to premiere on network television in more than 25 years, following the July 1999 launch of “Passions” on NBC. The show’s first season concluded on Thursday, January 1, 2026, with Season 2 premiering the next day.
The series is set in a fictional leafy Maryland suburb just outside Washington, D.C., where, behind the posh gated community with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions, live affluent African Americans like the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty.
Season 1 is available exclusively to Paramount+ subscribers.
