At the moment i have a beam and sub, both gen 1, for watching TV.
For listening to music i would like to add some extra speakers, for example 2 era100/300>
Is it possible to setup the extra speakers so they work with playing music and watching tv, and not only when playing music?
For music i would like the extra Era 100/300 with the sub.
For TV i would like the above and the beam.
Is that possible?

No, it is not. You can set the Era 100/300 as surrounds, or you can set them as a stereo pair in the front. But there is no way to easily switch between the two, you must reconfigure each time, which is not trivial, and you lose any Trueplay turning.
Note that when set as surrounds, you can configure music sources to ‘Full’, which means full volume out of all the speakers. However, this will still have music coming out of the Beam.

Thank you for answering!
If you are on A budget then I would buy a Beam gen 2 and 2 Era 100 and set them up as surround. Then you can achieve Dolby Atmos and a much better music experience.
If you go All in, then Arc Ultra and 2 x Era 300. Your Sub gen1 works fine with everything, however can't predict the future with your Sub Gen1
