It’s official! The Gates will open, and make that debut, on CBS in January 2025!

The Gates Officially Ordered To Series

The daytime soap, the first to premiere since Passions bowed in 1999, is set to follow the lives of a wealthy Black family in an affluent, gated community.

As previously reported, The Gates hails from prolific scribe Michele Val Jean (The Bold and the Beautiful, General Hospital, Generations, Santa Barbara et al.) who’ll serve as head writer and showrunner as well as executive producer alongside Sheila Ducksworth, Leon Russell, Derrick Johnson, and Kimberly Doebereiner.

The series was developed via a joint venture between CBS Studios, P&G, and the NAACP. Ducksworth previously promised salivating fans that The Gates would be “everything we love about daytime drama, from a new and fresh perspective,” and that it “will salute an audience that has been traditionally underserved, with the potential to be a groundbreaking moment for broadcast television.”

While exacting details, including premiere date or casting, weren’t made available as of this publishing, you can be assured that Daily Drama will keep you apprised of any ongoing developments.
