Peacock announced today that Days of our Lives has been picked up for a 61st season. The news comes a month before the iconic soap opera airs its 15,000th episode.

On the air for over half a century, Days of our Lives premiered in 1965 as a half-hour drama before expanding to a full hour a decade later. The series moved to Peacock in 2022 after spending its first 57 years on NBC. At its new home, Days is consistently a top 10 title for the streaming service.
