The sands will keep running through the hourglass on Days of Our Lives.
Peacock has renewed the long-running daytime drama for two more years, which will take Days through its 63rd season in 2027-28. The first 58 of those aired on NBC before the show moved to its sibling streamer in 2022.
The renewal comes on the heels of Days of Our Lives picking up 13 nominations for the 2025 Daytime Emmy Awards, including for best daytime drama series, writing and directing for a daytime drama, and eight acting nominations. The show has won more than 60 Daytime Emmys over its tenure.
Days of Our Lives is the second longest-running daytime soap currently airing, having premiered two years after ABC’s General Hospital. It premiered in November 1965 and is currently running under its 12th presidential administration and marked its 15,000th episode in December 2024.
Peacock hasn’t shared viewing data for Days of Our Lives since it became exclusive to the platform (as is often the case with streaming series). The outlet does, however, say that Days has consistently ranked among the top 15 entertainment titles on the service over the past three years.
The series is produced by Corday Productions Inc. in association with Sony Pictures Television.
