CBS Is Developing 1st New Soap Since ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’


CBS Studios and the NAACP are developing ‘The Gates,’ a new soap about a wealthy Black family living in a posh, gated community

Sheila Ducksworth, CBS Studios’ NAACP venture president, will co–executive produce the series alongside Leon Russell, Derrick Johnson and Kimberly Doebereiner. CBS Entertainment Group President George Cheeks said at the time, “There is no better partner than the NAACP — the preeminent civil rights organization in our country — to help us find, develop and tell these inclusive stories.” “I’m excited to develop this project with CBS and P&G, two of the longest and most passionate champions of broadcast and daytime television, and the NAACP, whose enduring commitment to Black voices and artists is both powerful and inspiring,” Ducksworth said.
