The long-running NBC soap opera is officially moving to the NBCUniversal-owned streaming platform starting on Sept. 12. It has aired on NBC since it first launched in 1965.

Currently, the show airs daily on NBC while past episodes are available to stream on Peacock. Peacock previously aired the spinoff Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem in September 2021, with a second installment of that series having aired on Peacock in July. The spinoff film Days of Our Lives: A Very Salem Christmas aired in December 2021.
Also beginning Sept. 12, in the timeslots previously occupied by Days of Our Lives, NBC News Daily will debut across NBC stations. The hourlong program is anchored by NBC News team including Kate Snow, Aaron Gilchrist, Vicky Nguyen and Morgan Radford. It will also be streamed simultaneously 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 shows 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 was renewed for Seasons 57 and 58 at NBC in 2021. The series celebrated its 55th anniversary in 2020. It aired its 14,000th episode in December 2020 and remains NBCs longest-running series. Set in the fictitious Midwestern town of Salem, the core families are the Bradys, Hortons, Carvers, DiMeras, and Kiriakises.

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 Albert Alarr. Ron Carlivati is the head writer.

This marks the latest movement of a legacy broadcast show to a streaming platform in recent times. Previously, ABC announced that Dancing with the Stars would leave the broadcast network in favor of Disney+. Season 31 of the show will now debut on that streaming service in September. CBS also shifted its shows SEAL Team and Evil to the streaming platform Paramount+ ahead of their new seasons

What a stupid idea. The median demographic for the show is like 65...and it's moving exclusively to a streaming service.

I didn't know it was still airing. I thought it ended with Guiding Light and As the World Turns (aka the goat).

Andbywah, that's an odd decision. Maybe they're intentionally killing it off.

I imagine my mom wouldn't be happy with this at all. She watched it every single day.

They recently had another devil possession arc around Halloween last year.

...I only know that because my parents watch the show religiously.

Yeah, that's when I got into it as a kid. I had a bad flu then, and started watching it.

Stefano DiMera was awesome too

He was at his most badass when he had Celeste as his lackey before she turned face.

But this sounds like the death knell for the soap. "All My Children" and "One Life To Live" went to online streaming back in 2013. Both lasted another year and then died out.

I had scarlet fever as a kid and got into it when Carly was buried alive. Watched it for years.
