Beyond The Gates is the newest addition to the roster of CBS after the huge success of The Young and the Restless and The Daring and the Beautiful over years.
The brand new show is ready to premiere on February 24, 2025, but there are just a few questions that fans have for the time being including why the episodes are one hour long as a substitute of the same old half an hour long in addition to some details of the casting and set design process. Here’s what we all know concerning the same.
Beyond The Gates: Why Are Episodes 1 Hour Long?
During a press conference, Sheila Ducksworth who’s the president of CBS Studios, revealed, “I grew up watching some half-hour shows. I even have to say Fringe of Night was the primary half-hour show that I actually loved and watched on ABC — and Generations, obviously.” She proceeded to further state, “In developing the show, it was really, really essential that or not it’s an hour.”
Sheila explained, “I felt for something this remarkable and something that the world has never seen before on daytime television, I wanted it to have its due.” This is precisely why Beyond The Gates has hour-long episodes that fans can enjoy without feeling the storyline of every episode was too short.
Beyond The Gates Casting Details
While Tamara Tunie plays Anita Dupree, Clifton Davis has been solid as Vernon Dupree, the matriarch and patriarch of the series. Clifton revealed throughout the casting process, he got just a little impatient as he really wanted this role. He shared, “It was in June, my agents called me,” referring to being asked about his availability for the daytime drama but a month passed by.
Clifton’s agents then contacted the team again and were told that they’re still inquisitive about casting him, they were just focused on casting others on the time. Prior to it, he thought the chance was gone but his chemistry test with Tamara worked rather well and the 2 were solid for the roles.
Beyond The Gates Set Designs & Costumes
As for the set design, Sheila knew exactly who she desired to hire for the anticipated show. Bruton Jones, a production designer was contacted and he or she called him a “huge influence in production design,” revealing that she had already given him the coveted job two years before they even got the green light to make Beyond The Gates by the network and its executives.
Brutin created 27 sets in three and a half months and as per Sheila, his creations have been “authentic for the realm in addition to what’s authentic for the Black experience.” So as to add to the above, the costume designer of the series is Jeresa Featherstone who’s “the one Black costume designer in all of daytime television,” the CBS president identified on the conference.
