Shouldn't an announcement about Days be coming up soon??? Their contract ends in September. Anyone know when the announcement will be made.

I've been wondering about the contract, too. I really hope they renew it for another 2 years! I'm not sure what I'd do without DAYS every day.

"Days of Our Lives" Renewal Ahead? NBC 'Optimistic' about Soaping Back Up

January 20, 2016


It’s looking good that the sands in "Days of Our Lives‘" iconic hourglass will continue to flow. NBC is hopeful that it will successfully renew its contract with surviving soap, which celebrated its 50th anniversary last November.

“We’re happy with where Days was this year,” NBC entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt tells TVLine. “We have a negotiating period that starts in February. Stay tuned.”





Although the show’s current deal doesn’t expire until September, "Days" famously tapes many months in advance — as such, it will actually fulfill production of episodes under the current deal as early as March. The good news is that NBC entertainment president Jennifer Salke is “optimistic” a successful re-negotiation will take place.

“We’ve been really happy with the show,” Salke says. “I’ve been over there seeing Ken Corday and the team and the new writers. They’re an incredible group and we love the show. They got a ratings bump in the fall for their 50th anniversary. There’s a creative resurgence and exciting storytelling going on right now.”





"Days" also experienced a jump in ratings the week of January 4, when the big storylines were Maggie deciding whether Brady or Eric would receive the heart of her brain-dead son Daniel, and Hope angrily shooting Stefano over the death of her beloved Bo. The show enjoyed its highest rating in the 18-49 demo (0.6) since July 14-18, 2014. Season-to-date, "Days" has grown 3 percent versus last season in total viewers.

“I’m optimistic,” Salke adds. “We need to negotiate with Sony, but I’m optimistic. We would like the show back.”

^ I was just coming to post this! I'm super excited about this news and hope they get renewed!!

Bring back Sami to Salem!!!!

^I agree! She's been gone long enough, she needs to come back!

I'd also love to see Kristen (she can't be dead!), Rex, Mimi, and Carrie come back!

I haven't watched Days in forever but I woudl be kind of sad to see it go so I'm glad it's still going to be around. I loved Jack and Jennifer/Steve and Kayla

^Steve, Kayla, and Jennifer are still around but Jack died. However, Jack's supposed to be coming back soon...probably as a ghost.
