‘Days Of Our Lives’ Renewed For 61st Season By Peacock

The venerable soap Days Of Our Lives will return for a 61st season. Peacock just announced the renewal on the eve of its annual fan event at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Saturday, Nov. 2, which will celebrate the show’s 60th season.

Peacock says DOOL has consistently been a top 10 title since it moved to the streamer in 2023. On December 2, Days will reach its 15,000th episode. It has also spawned two limited spinoffs dubbed Beyond Salem. Chapter 2 of the spinoff featured the return of DOOL super-couple Bo and Hope (Kristian Alfonso and Peter Reckell), as well as Deidre Hall as Dr. Marlena Evans, Drake Hogestyn as John Black, Stephen Nichols as Steve “Patch” Johnson, Mary Beth Evans as Kayla Brady Johnson, Lucas Adams as Tripp Johnson, and Camila Banus as Gabi Hernandez.

DOOL is produced by Corday Productions in association with Sony Pictures Television. Ken Corday is the executive producer with co-executive producer Albert Alarr. Ron Carlivati serves as head writer. The soap aired its 14,000th episode in 2020 and was NBC’s longest-running drama series until 2022, when it moved to Peacock.
