Beyond the Gates: Welcome to the Neighborhood

In the week leading up to the February 24, 2025 premiere of Beyond the Gates, Entertainment Tonight caught up with cast and producers to learn more about the show. Check out these clips of some of my personal highlights from the special!

  • Black and white logo of LIFE magazine with the word MAGAZINE written next to it.

    “This is my first TV gig, and I’ve struggled with imposter syndrome. I’ve had to remind myself, I got picked for a reason. It’s been a journey of building confidence and trusting myself.”

  • Logo for The Washington Informer with the name written in stylized red and black text.

    “With all of this going on, it’s infuriating and it’s disheartening,” Muhammad said, “but then you have shows like this and other Black shows to remind you that, we’re not going anywhere, we’re not going away.”

    “Playing at least three characters Colby N. Muhammed [was] spectacular. Showcasing nuanced versatility, [she] played some of the most outrageous, exuberant, and scene-stealing roles to my immeasurable enjoyment.”

  • Logo of The Washington Post in black and white gothic font

    “Colby N. Muhammad takes on three characters each with head-spinning and often riotous versatility.”

  • Logo for the MD Theatre Guide, featuring large white and gold letters 'MD' above the words 'Theatre Guide' on a blue background.

    “Taking on multiple customer roles, Colby N. Muhammad shines as a snobby classmate of Marie's, an overly curious bystander, and a whiny, albeit utterly exhausted, client who proceeds to fall asleep in the chair. [Colby and Melanie] provide the lion’s share of the comedy.”
