CBS Studios and the NAACP are partnering in development on a new, Black-centered daytime soap opera from “The Bold and the Beautiful” Emmy winner Michele Val Jean.
“The Gates” will follow the lives of a wealthy Black family in a posh, gated community.
“’The Gates’ will be everything we love about daytime drama, from a new and fresh perspective,” Sheila Ducksworth, president of the CBS Studios NAACP venture, said in a statement. “This series will salute an audience that has been traditionally underserved, with the potential to be a groundbreaking moment for broadcast television. With multidimensional characters, juicy storylines and Black culture front and center, ‘The Gates’ will have impactful representation, one of the key touchstones of the venture.”
