Beyond the Gates Gets Limited Run on BET

It’s been a minute since we’ve seen daytime soap operas in primetime, but CBS’s newest daytime drama, Beyond the Gates, is getting a primetime run on BET!

According to a report, the Paramount-owned cable network will air the first 10 episodes (as of now). The first encore episode aired (which is the series premiere that originally aired on February 24th on CBS) on March 10th. A schedule for the encore episodes reveals that episodes will air Monday through Friday at 8:00 pm ET/PT. There will also be weekend airings, with episodes 1 and 2 running on Saturday, March 15, from 2-4 pm, and episodes 3, 4, and 5 airing on Sunday, March 16, from 2-5 pm. While there aren’t any reports of the network planning to extend Beyond the Gates’ run, it’s nice to see daytime soaps taking a spot in primetime territory.
