Beyond the Gates creator, Michele Val Jean wanted to share a huge first with soap fans. She never expected to see her show’s name on the DVR program guide.

Just Press Play

Val Jean shared a shot of her DVR’s program guide on X, formerly Twitter. The name Beyond the Gates was ready to record. The first episode will air on Monday, February 24. There’s also a special called Beyond the Gates: Welcome to the Neighborhood, which will air on Friday, February 21. CBS will invite soap fans into the gates for the very first time.

In addition, the classic episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful will air after the special. Val Jean had other upcoming recordings for the new episodes of Found, Dateline NBC, and The Real Housewives of Potomac. However, she never imagined the day when she would be able to record her own soap.

“So here’s a first. Setting my own show to record,” she wrote. Val Jean included the hashtags “Surreal,” “Beyond the Gates,” and “February 24.” Unfortunately, no details are shown for the first episode. But we have some of the spoilers here.

Soap Fans React

Fans took to Val Jean’s post to ask questions about the show. Some of them wanted to know if it was a 30-minute or 60-minute program. Other fans showed their support. They promised Val Jean that they would tune in to make it the No. 1 soap on CBS.

“OMG!!! I just did the same thing AND literally took the same screenshot & posted it too!! See @MicheleValJean. Great minds as they say,” one fan responded. “What a dream!! That would be so surreal to me. Can’t wait to watch in 12 days,” another user noted. “My DVR is all set ready to go,” a third fan said.

Depending on which brand you use, the Beyond the Gates special and the first episode might be available to record on your DVR. Some fans noted that it’s not available for TiVo users. One other fan revealed they planned to watch the soap on Paramount Plus, but they might set it to DVR to give it the ratings it deserves. Needless to say, we’re all excited for BTG to premiere.
