Creation and casting

[edit]

The casting notice was one of the first four castings reported in the summer of 2024.[5] Anita Dupree is one of the original 15 characters written by series creator, Michele Val Jean. Anita is a member of the first family of Beyond the Gates, the Dupree family. Anita's original character outline was released in July 2024, during the casting process:

a Black female in her late 60s to 70s. She is a family matriarch. [―] A famous singer, Betty did not find success easily. She is proud to have raised two daughters with her iconic retired Senator husband. While she’s a doting mother, Betty is not someone who should be crossed.[5]

On September 19, 2024, TV Insider announced the Tunie's casting.[1]
