Days of Our Lives will be Streaming Premiere on Peacock on September 12

NBC’s long-running soap opera Days of Our Lives will leave broadcast television following 57 years on to stream exclusively on Peacock, the network announced on Wednesday. The change implies that fans who previously have had the option to watch the show for nothing on the broadcast will currently need to pay for a streaming service to realize what occurs next in the show’s fictional of Salem. New episodes of Days of Our Lives will debut starting September 12th.

Days of Our Lives, which has circulated on NBC for 57 years, will be moving to Peacock solely, with the first episode set for September 12. For the first time ever, all-new episodes of the 58-time Emmy Award-winning drama will debut on the streaming service day to day. The show’s robust library is as of now accessible to stream for Peacock Premium subscribers.

“Days of Our Lives,” NBC’s longest-running series, will start streaming exclusively on Peacock one month from now and will be supplanted by “NBC News Daily” in the drama’s former network time slot, the network announced Wednesday.

Beginning Sept. 12, all new episodes of the show will debut on Peacock every day; Peacock Premium subscribers can access past shows, the network said.

“NBC News Daily,” an hourlong program anchored by NBC News’ journalists, including Kate Snow, Aaron Gilchrist, Vicky Nguyen, and Morgan Radford, will furnish viewers with “up-to-the-minute national and international news,” with the choice for NBC stations to add neighborhood news, the network said.

“NBC News Daily” will likewise be streamed all the while on NBC News NOW and Peacock.

“This programming shift benefits both Peacock and NBC and is reflective of our broader strategy to utilize our portfolio to maximize reach and strengthen engagement with viewers,” said Mark Lazarus, chairman of NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. “With a large percentage of the ‘Days of Our Lives audience already watching digitally, this move enables us to build the show’s loyal fanbase on streaming while simultaneously bolstering the network daytime offering with an urgent, live programming opportunity for partners and consumers.”

“Days of Our Lives,” which circulated its 14,000th episode in 2020, is set in the fictional Midwestern city of Salem and spins around the Brady, Horton, and DiMera families. The serial debuted in 1965 and has collected 58 Emmy Awards.

Peacock will currently be the selective home of the drama. The historic move will permit viewers to access and stream all episodes in a single spot.

The change moves one more stalwart of broadcast television exclusively to streaming. In April, Disney announced that it would be bringing Dancing With the Stars to Disney Plus, and just said on Wednesday that season 31 would premier on September 19th. NBC has already debuted two seasons of a Days of Our Lives spinoff titled Beyond Salem on Peacock.

Days of Our Lives will join the side spinoff, Beyond Salem, on the streaming service. Beyond Salem features both new and familiar characters to Days fans. The first season was released in September 2021, while the five episodes of the second chapter dropped this summer, from July 11 through July 15.

With the move of Days, that leaves the time slot open during the week on NBC, and the network will air NBC News Daily, a news show featuring anchors Kate Snow, Aaron Gilchrist, Vicky Nguyen, and Morgan Radford. It will likewise be streamed all the while on NBC News NOW and Peacock.

Days of Our Lives is produced by Corday Productions, Inc. in association with Sony Pictures Television. Ken Corday is the executive producer, with co-executive producer Albert Alarr. Ron Carlivati is the head writer. It first premiered as a half-hour drama in 1965, then extended to an hour 10 years after the fact.

Peacock will currently be the exclusive home of the drama. The historic move will permit viewers to get to all episodes in a single spot. The Emmy Award-winning drama will debut on Peacock every day, accessible to stream for Peacock Premium subscribers. This incorporates the Peacock Original “Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem.”

NBC News Daily will be an hour-long program anchored by NBC News’ Kate Snow, Aaron Gilchrist, Vicky Nguyen, and Morgan Radford. The journalists will have up-to-the-minute national and international news. The new show will likewise be streamed on NBC News NOW and Peacock. It will debut on Sept. 12 across NBC stations.
