00:00There you go.
00:01We're all in quiet.
00:02Beyond the Gates is about an affluent family
00:04who lives in a gated community in the D.C., Maryland area.
00:09Predominantly a black community of self-made people.
00:13Black folk live in life like it's golden.
00:16You weren't going to hear me complain.
00:18The Duprees are the backbone of Fairmont Crest.
00:21They are activists, politicians, doctors, lawyers.
00:25I am so proud of every one of you.
00:28No matter what drama ensues, family always comes first.
00:34What the hell?
00:36Mind if I come in for a minute?
00:37Bill Hamilton, criminal defense attorney.
00:39Intimidating.
00:40A little gruff.
00:41He was married to Danny Dupree.
00:43Her ex-husband is marrying one of her daughter's best friends.
00:47Bill and I didn't set out to fall in love.
00:49I'm spiraling.
00:53You're going to see the spectrum of human emotion.
00:55Protecting the family is our priority.
00:57Agreed.
00:58My inspiration comes from Peyton Place.
01:00You do see universal themes reflected here.
01:03Everybody loves juicy soap opera stuff.
01:06Remember who you are.
01:07A Dupree woman. Tap into that heritage.
01:10You're going to see love.
01:12He sees marriage, kids, retirement, and then the golden years.
01:16How perfect is he?
01:17Vernon and Anita Dupree.
01:19Business or pleasure?
01:21For inspiration.
01:22A black couple that has been together for decades.
01:25That's relationship goals right there.
01:27You're going to see heartbreak.
01:29I'm kind of a bad boy.
01:31Don't laugh.
01:32Drama.
01:33Some people deserve to get a punch in the face.
01:35Violence is never the answer.
01:37He's following the footsteps of his grandfather.
01:39Expect complicated, broad characters.
01:42Talk about a woman who has everything.
01:45Gotta dig deep to get that bitterness.
01:48Anger isn't healthy.
01:49I'll be healthy again.
01:51As soon as I make a couple of cheaters pay for blowing up my life.
01:56Beyond the Gates is wealth.
01:58The makeup, the hair.
02:00Thank you, wardrobe.
02:01The lighting, the sets, just amazing.
02:03The storylines.
