Once again, Days of Our Lives was the lowest-rated of the four remaining network soap operas last season. It seemed very possible that it could be cancelled by NBC but the peacock network renewed Days in January 2019. Will this venerable soap be renewed for season 56 for the 2020-21 broadcast season or, could this series really be in its final days this time around? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
Premiering on November 8th of 1965, Days of Our Lives is set in the fictitious Midwestern town of Salem.

11/22/19 update: Days of Our Lives has been renewed for a 56th season for 2020-21.
Why is the younger ladies in the ratings. Us over 40 have been watching it since day
One it aired.
Their new storyline is awful. Ever since the “time jump” the show has lost it’s appeal. I keep hoping they would go back to the original. No wonder all the characters are leaving. I’ve watched since it started, but this year I have started watching other soaps because this one is just off the wall. It is so sad the writers have ddestroyed a good show,
I would love to see Day OF OUR LIVES continue.Ive been watching this from the first show.And Please let SEAIRA AND BEN come back. I loved seeing them so happy .let there dream happen.PLEASE DONT CANCEL
I have been watching since 70’s and record it every day to watch when I get home – it is my escape from this crazy world – please don’t cancel it
About damn time! Was good back in the late 80’s but now it’s terrible!
Hope Days Of Are Life isn’t canceled I have watched them since I was in grade school, so I have grew up with them in my life they are like my family. Please keep them on, I am 70 years old been watching since in the 60’s
I have watched this show since the 70’s please continue it.
I can’t believe the ratings, they should be higher since the CBS shows have been reruns for months, plus The Bold and the Beautiful has bad writers who can’t right a new storyline to save their lives all they do is recycle stories/couple pairings/ and dialog.
