‘Days of Our Lives’ Renewed for Seasons 57 & 58 at NBC
Days of Our Lives isn’t going anywhere.
NBC, Corday Productions, and Sony Pictures Television have announced the renewal of the daytime soap for two more years, Seasons 57 and 58. This comes after the series celebrated its 55th anniversary in late 2020, at the height of the pandemic, and was able to maintain a safe and steady production schedule. (Also, due to how far in advance DAYS films, they didn’t have to rush back to production as they were figuring out safety protocols due to COVID-19.)
“We couldn’t be happier to bring our loyal fans two more seasons of Days of our Lives and continue what has been an absolutely remarkable achievement in television,” Michael Sluchan, Executive Vice President, Scripted Series & Kids Programming, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, said in a statement. “A big thank you to Ken Corday and the cast and crew for their incredible passion for storytelling that continues to reach new generations of viewers.”
“After more than 55 years of bringing drama, adventure and romance to screens around the world, we are thrilled and honored to carry on the Days of our Lives legacy for another two years,” added executive producer Ken Corday. “We are thankful to NBC for their enduring commitment to the show and grateful to continue this wonderful journey with our fans for years to come.”
“We are incredibly proud of the work being done by Ken Corday, the cast and crew. They continue to tell bold stories through these iconic characters captivating audiences around the world,” Steve Kent, Senior Executive Vice President, Programming, Sony Pictures Television said. “We are thrilled to continue the legacy of Days of our Lives and for viewers to enjoy two more seasons.”

I hope this is an indication of hope the show will make it to 60 years, a TRUE MILE STONE for any series in NETWORK TELEVISION! My only concern is DAYS OF OUR LIVES was the ONLY serial to have all new programming during the entire pandemic. During the time of almost 100% "shelter in place", EVERYBODY I have ever known over the past 55 years that have watched it, started watching it again, being trapped inside. However the NIELSEN RATINGS showed none of the 4 soaps performed at pre-pandemic levels & DAYS was in a very poor 4th place most weeks. I FIRMLY DO NOT BELIEVE this to be the CASE! Something has got to be wrong with that system of monitoring viewership. I find it very hard to believe JUST MY friends & family happened to return to watching it live regularly for MONTHS & it not be reflected in the ratings. I mean what were people doing who could not go to work, school or even out of their houses for MONTHS if they were not watching television all day? And if my circle of friends who had not been able to watch DAYS for school, work or other reasons were being able to watch it every day, HOW COULD THE RATINGS FALL to all time lows? Now every soap is currently at the lowest ratings in history. Even 1st place YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS is as low as DAYS OF OUR LIVES was in 4th place PRE-PANDEMIC with no reasonable explanation! If DAYS OF OUR LIVES' budgets are cut much more, we will see unknown day actors in front of cardboard scenery in clothes they have worn from home!
