What the series is about
Searching for what Beyond the Gates is about? Welcome to Fairmont Crest: a posh, gated community just outside of Washington, D.C. Many prominent families (including the Richardsons and the Hamiltons) call Fairmont Crest home, but none are more influential than the Duprees. Holding onto their status, however, doesn’t happen without dirtying their hands. The show’s storylines blend family relationships and romance with business rivalries, secrets, and betrayals. The result? A whole lot of drama. The series, created by Michelle Val Jean, is the first new daytime soap to premiere on a major U.S. broadcast network in over a decade, and the first hour-long daytime drama to focus on a predominantly Black cast in several decades. And speaking of that cast …
