Peacock renews ‘Days of Our Lives’ for its 61st (!) season on the eve of ‘Day of Days’ fan event
“Days of Our Lives” is sticking around. The beloved soap opera has been renewed for its 61st season by Peacock. (The series moved to that streaming service in 2022 after airing on NBC since 1965.) The pick-up news comes on the eve of “Day of Days,” the annual fan event held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, which will take place on Saturday, November 2 — more on that below.
Peacock has been the exclusive home to “Days of Our Lives” for the past two years. That’s where viewers can access past seasons, plus new episodes every weekday. The series has consistently been a Top 10 title for Peacock since it made the big move from NBC. On December 2, 2024, “Days of Our Lives” will celebrate its 15,000th overall episode.
