CBS Announces 10 New Cast Members For Beyond The Gates

Following the casting announcement of Tamara Tunie (Anita Dupree), Daphnee Duplaix (Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson) and Karla Mosley (Dani Dupree) comes word from CBS about even more hires to the original cast of Beyond The Gates. Here is the official breakdown of the actors and the characters they will be playing:

The Richardsons

Maurice Johnson (Ted Richardson): “Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson’s husband and father to Martin and Katerine ‘Kat.’ Ted is a brilliant plastic surgeon with an ultra-exclusive private practice and women clamor to put their faces and bodies in what they call his blessed hands. Ted has created an impeccable life with his wife – whom he loves passionately – and sleeps well at night, secure that his past will never disrupt his perfect world.” The actor’s credits include Chicago Fire, Good Girls and To Catch a Killer.

Brandon Claybon (Martin Richardson): “Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson and Ted Richardson’s son and older brother of Katherine ‘Kat’ Richardson. Martin is a congressman who lives outside ‘the gates’ in a Washington, D.C., brownstone with his husband and two adopted children. Following his grandfather’s path into politics, he has ambition to be the first openly gay Black President.” The actor’s credits include Grey’s Anatomy, Tyler Perry’s Zatima and General Hospital.

Colby Muhammad (Katherine “Kat” Richardson): “Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson and Ted Richardson’s miracle baby. She is the younger sister of Martin Richardson and lives in her parents’ guest house. Kat’s been indulged all her life, which has made her spoiled, entitled and dismissive of those she considers beneath her. She’s confident and secure and has never doubted herself or her privileged position in the world. She doesn’t like to share but doesn’t know that the day when she is forced to may be fast approaching.” The actress recently starred in the first national tour of the Broadway play Jaja’s African Hair Braiding.

Sean Freeman (Andre Hamilton): “The sophisticated nephew of Ted Richardson. Andre tragically lost his parents in a plane crash and inherited a double fortune, which allows him to live his bliss as a photographer. Nicole and Ted stepped up for Andre when his parents died, and he depends on their support and wise counsel. A playboy who is smooth on the surface, there is something elusive about Andre that occasionally makes people question his intentions.” The actor’s credits include Finding Happy, Tales and Boxed In.

The Hamiltons

Timon Durrett (Bill Hamilton): “Dani Dupree’s ex-husband and father to Naomi and Chelsea. Bill is an opportunist, publicity hound and narcissist, according to his ex-wife, Dani. He is a charismatic and calculated criminal defense attorney who is well-connected, well-received and gets what he wants by any means necessary.” The actor’s credits include “Cheaper by the Dozen, Queen Sugar and Stuck with You.

Arielle Prepetit (Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne): “Dani Dupree and Bill Hamilton’s oldest daughter and Chelsea’s older sister. Naomi lives outside ‘the gates’ in Washington, D.C., where she humbly serves as a civil attorney. She’s whip smart and the only one in the Dupree family who inherited her grandmother Anita Dupree’s gift for singing, which bonds them.” The actress’s credits include “BMF, Found and The System.

RhonniRose Mantilla (Chelsea Hamilton): “Dani Dupree and Bill Hamilton’s youngest daughter and Naomi’s younger sister. Chelsea is a social media influencer and has been a successful but reluctant high fashion model since she was 18. Her career expertly guided by Dani, Chelsea is charged with recreating the life her mother gave up, which doesn’t fit her own life vision. She has a lot of money, which allows her to follow her dream of designing a line of purses and building her brand. Chelsea indulges in the good things in life, like beautiful people, parties, her new condo in D.C. and the freedom to experiment.” The actress recently starred in Harmony the Musical on Broadway.

Marquita Goings (Hayley Lawson): She is “a paralegal at Bill Hamilton’s firm. Hayley is gorgeous, intelligent, charming, witty and the new fiancée of Dani Dupree’s ex-husband, Bill Hamilton. Considered a husband-stealing tramp in Dani’s circle, Hayley is nothing if not confident. With time, patience, charm and effort, she will try to win them over – and if not, so what? Hayley has what matters: Bill.” The actress’s credits include Woke and Tyler Perry’s Zatima.

The Thomases

Trisha Mann-Grant (Dana “Leslie” Thomas): “Eva Thomas’s mom and a long-time waitress and bartender. Dana ‘Leslie’ is not wrapped all that tight and intense, but she’s charming and easy out in the world. The only person who sees what’s disturbing about her is her daughter, Eva, and very soon all will see what is unsettling about her, too.” The actress’s credits include Family Business and A Royal Christmas Surprise.

Ambyr Michelle (Eva Thomas): “Dana ‘Leslie’ Thomas’s daughter and Nicole Dupree Richardson’s new assistant, who vibrates with intensity and purpose. Eva is determined to right a grievous wrong done to her mother as soon as the opportunity presents itself.” The actress’s credits include The Runarounds, Running Point and Snowfall.
