Black Family Centered Soap Opera Coming to CBS


The NAACP partners with CBS for a new Black family centered daytime soap opera called "The Gates..."

CBS is expanding the daytime soap landscape with The Gates, the first Black-led series in more than three decades.
The network announced on Monday, April 15, that The Gates has been greenlit for a full-season order. The soap will premiere in January 2025, but the specific date and time slot has not been revealed.
The Gates will follow a wealthy Black family that resides in a “posh, gated community,” according to CBS.
The pickup order came one month after CBS revealed that The Gates was in development. The show — which is a joint venture between CBS Studios and the NAACP — will mark the first daytime soap centered on a Black family since 1989’s Generations.
