Peacock has renewed the seemingly immortal soap opera Days of Our Lives for a 61st season, proving that in Salem, even death is just a mild inconvenience. This news, conveniently timed just before the annual “Day of Days” fan event, ensures that the drama, intrigue, and questionable medical diagnoses will continue to flow.
While the show’s move to Peacock in 2023 caused some initial hand-wringing among fans, Days has apparently found a comfortable streaming home, consistently ranking in the top 10 on the platform. This continued success, along with the upcoming milestone of its 15,000th episode on December 2, suggests that Days isn’t just surviving, it’s somehow thriving in the digital age.
So, prepare for more resurrected villains, love triangles that could span a geological epoch, and enough amnesia to fill a small country.
Days of Our Lives is produced by Corday Productions Inc. in association with Sony Pictures Television.
