Beyond the Gates, the much-awaited daytime soap opera, premiers on CBS on February 24, 2025. This new series brings audiences into the world of the Dupree family, a rich and powerful clan, and deals with love, betrayal, and power in a gated community near Washington, D.C.
The story mixes high-stakes drama with interesting characters set in a world that looks perfect but isn't. While the show is set in Maryland, it was filmed in Atlanta, Georgia. Shooting in Georgia, a state known for its booming entertainment scene, adds something unique to the show, showing how the area can look like a high-end place.
Many shows like Stanger Things, The Walking Dead, The Vampires Diaries, and Dynasty also filmed portions in Atlanta. The city's ability to portray different locations, from rural countryside to busy city streets, makes it an ideal choice for filmmakers.
