Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers tease that fans of the NBC soap can finally breathe a sigh of relief. TVLine is reporting that DOOL has been renewed for a 52nd season. The renewal seemed uncertain when NBC hired Megan Kelly and announced plans for a new daytime show. Things eventually settled down once reports suggested Kelly would fill a rebranded hour of Today.
Days of Our Lives viewers felt even more hopeful when a head writer change was publicized. Dena Higley was replaced by Ron Carlivati, which let us know the renewal chances were high. There wouldn’t have been much point in shifting gears behind the scenes if Days was on its way out.
Still, it’s nice to hear this confirmation. Since DOOL’s ratings continue to trail the rest of the soap pack, renewals are never guaranteed. It’s always stressful for fans who want to see more of their favorite characters. Fortunately, the sands will indeed keep running through that hourglass.
Jennifer Salke, President of NBC Entertainment, gave a statement about this exciting news. “We feel so privileged to be able to continue the remarkable legacy of Days of Our Lives,” said Salke. “We thank Ken Corday and his team for their incredible accomplishments and look forward to all the stories from Salem that will continue to unfold.”
Corday, the executive producer at Days, echoed Salke’s cheerful comments. He noted that it’s a “great day in Salem” and expressed gratitude to everyone who helped make this renewal happen. DOOL viewers are definitely glad they’ll have plenty of hot plots rolling out for another year.
Let’s hope Days can find its footing. Corday seems optimistic about what Carlivati can bring to the table. Maybe this renewal will mark a new beginning for the NBC soap. Be sure to tune in!
