Beyond the Gates returns with a new episode following a week-long hiatus during which CBS aired reruns from July 1 through July 5. This short break led some viewers to question the status of the show. As of today, original episodes have resumed, and storylines will resume where they left off.
Yes, Beyond the Gates will air a new episode today, Monday, July 7, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET / 1:00 PM PT on CBS. The episode will be available for on-demand viewing on Paramount+ soon after its TV airing. This marks the return of the show's routine weekday release schedule.
Why didn't Beyond the Gates air new episodes last week?
Trending
CBS aired reruns of Beyond the Gates the week of July 1–5, coinciding with the Fourth of July break. Although there was no official announcement from CBS about the reason, series creator Michele Val Jean clarified on social media that the decision was made by the network and was not the result of any production delays or writer-related situations.
This break also allowed new viewers to catch up on what has happened so far. CBS broadcast the first five episodes during this interval, offering an opportunity for a recap.
What to expect in the July 7 episode?
Today's episode is the follow-up to last week's cliffhanger—June 27's scene in which the character Randy Parks held the country club busboy Kenneth at gunpoint. Viewers were left in suspense after that dramatic moment, and today's show is likely to bring resolution—or more escalation.
Other ongoing plots include reporter Bradley "Smitty" Smith's probe into Detective Marcel Malone's past. Promotional teasers indicate this subplot will pick up steam this week, potentially involving Police Chief Elon Hawthorne as tensions between the press and police in Fairmont Crest escalate.
Chelsea Dupree Hamilton's story also continues, as a run-in with her past boyfriend, Allison, raises questions about her relationship with Dr. Madison Montgomery. Personal backstories and unresolved issues will likely test Chelsea's current vows.
Beyond the Gates recap from June 24 to 27, 2025
In the final week of new episodes before the July break, the show focused on personal dynamics and hidden agendas. Chelsea's relationship came under threat from a reappearing ex, leading to a difficult date night that tested her bond with Madison.
Tensions grew between Dani, Nicole, and Hayley as suspicions and confrontations unfolded over romantic entanglements and a possible pregnancy. Meanwhile, Smitty’s investigation stirred anxiety for Jacob, who feared damage to his father’s reputation. Elsewhere, Martin began to move forward with a secret plan tied to his past, and Anita’s return brought unexpected revelations.
