Viewers are wondering why no new episodes of Beyond the Gates will air on CBS on December 25 and 26. Created by Michele Val Jean, the soap opera follows the affluent Dupree family, who live in a gated community in Maryland and the Washington, D.C. area. Beyond their wealth, power, and royalty, they face life-changing challenges, all while outsiders keep a watchful eye on them. With the show airing only three episodes this week, many viewers are curious about the reason behind it.
Why Beyond the Gates won’t air new episodes on December 25 and 26
CBS won’t broadcast new episodes of Beyond the Gates on December 25 and 26, likely due to Christmas. However, fans can enjoy watching the episode reruns on both dates.
Generally, networks avoid premiering new episodes during the holiday week, as most people are busy celebrating or traveling. If they do air a new episode, it may result in low viewership, which can be disadvantageous for advertisers. As a result, networks often give shows a break during Christmas. They may either follow a pre-planned winter schedule, rerun previous episodes, or use the timeslot for a special presentation or sports event.
Viewers need not worry, as the show is expected to return next week. In the meantime, fans can catch up on episode reruns during the show’s break. In the December 25 episode, the residents of Fairmont Crest will get dressed up for the WinterFest celebration. The following day’s episode will feature Keke Wyatt delivering a stunning performance to close out WinterFest. It also marks the debut of Greg Vaughan’s Kial.
Fans can also watch the Christmas-themed episode of Beyond the Gates a day before, on Christmas Eve, featuring Dani and Andre celebrating their first holiday season together. Vernon and Sharon’s secret will be exposed in front of the Dupree family. Further, Ted will receive three unexpected guests, and Eva and Izaiah’s bond will head to a new level.
