Beyond the Gates Hits Pause: The Real Reason for a Three-Day Break
Don’t look for Beyond the Gates in its usual slot this week—CBS has quietly benched the soap for a three-day hiatus, a primetime shuffle that’s sparked fan buzz over why it’s paused and when it’s back.
If you flipped on the TV looking for Beyond the Gates this week and got a whole lot of nothing, you’re not losing it. CBS quietly tweaked its schedule, and the soap is taking a quick three-day timeout. Here’s what’s going on and when it’s back.
So, where did Beyond the Gates go?
Short version: it’s Thanksgiving week, which means networks shuffle things around. CBS is dropping reruns mid-week and handing Friday over to sports. No drama behind the scenes here, just holiday programming math.
- Wednesday, Nov 26, 2025: Rerun of the August 1 episode from the 'Articulates Reunion' arc
- Thursday, Nov 27, 2025: Rerun of the August 2 'Articulates Reunion' episode
- Friday, Nov 28, 2025: Fully preempted for CBS Sports coverage (no Beyond the Gates at all)
- Monday, Dec 1, 2025: New episodes resume as normal
Why reruns, and why those episodes?
Holiday weeks are light by design. Networks often plug in popular recent episodes to keep casual viewers engaged while the production schedule takes a breather. CBS is re-airing the 'Articulates Reunion' installments from August 1 and 2, which is a pretty standard move: familiar storyline, easy to drop into, and it fills the slot without burning a new chapter that might get lost in the Thanksgiving haze.
Is Friday a total wash?
Yep. Friday gets preempted entirely for CBS Sports. That’s the last bump in the road before the show slides back into its regular schedule.
When does the story pick up again?
Monday, Dec 1, 2025. Fresh episode, back in the usual slot. The pause is literally just Wednesday through Friday of Thanksgiving week.
What to watch in the meantime
If you missed the 'Articulates Reunion' the first time, the reruns will cover you. Otherwise, it’s a good window to catch up: previous episodes are streaming on CBS and Paramount+. Then we’re back to new business on Monday.
