Beyond the Gates is off to a great start in the ratings...
The CBS daytime drama Beyond the Gates brought a good-sized number of viewers into its world during the show’s premiere week.
The soap opera, the first daytime drama centered on Black characters in more than 35 years, averaged 2.28 million cross-platform viewers for its premiere week, including three days of streaming and other delayed viewing. Beyond the Gates premiered Feb. 24.
On CBS alone, the show averaged a little over 2 million viewers over three days, finishing in a virtual tie with ABC’s General Hospital. It also beat out the long-running ABC series in key demographics, including adults and women 25-54. Streaming added another 272,000 viewers to Beyond the Gates‘ average for the opening week. About 5.2 million people watched at least a few minutes of the show.
Beyond the Gates also significantly outperformed the year-ago ratings for The Talk, which it replaced in CBS’ daytime lineup. The show’s total audience is up by 78 percent versus The Talk for the same week in 2024, and same-day ratings among women ages 18-49 and 25-54 grew by 56 percent year-to-year.
More than half of the Beyond the Gates audience — 55 percent — for its premiere week was made up of Black viewers. That compares to 30 percent for CBS’ The Bold and the Beautiful, 29 percent for The Young and the Restless and 22 percent for General Hospital.
