Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem is bringing back more alums from the soap opera series’ past. Eileen Davidson, Thaao Penghlis, Leann Hunley, Christie Clark, Greg Rikaart, and Chandler Massey are all returning for the new Peacock spin-off series. Lisa Rinna, Deidre Hall, Drake Hogestyn, Jackée Harry, James Reynolds, and Austin Peck have already been revealed to be among the cast.
Deadline reported that Davidson’s role on the series is not yet known, but she was on set on Monday. Lisa Rinna shared that information on social media.
It was revealed in another Deadline report that Penghils will return as André DiMera, Hunley as Anna DiMera, Clark as Carrie Brady, Peck as Austin Reed, Rikaart as Leo Stark, and Massey as Will Horton. Zach Tinker will take over the role of Will’s husband, Sonny Kiriakis. Freddie Smith, the original Sonny, has moved to Florida and recently said that he would not reprise the role if asked.
The plot of the five-episode show was explained this way by Peacock:
Over a long weekend, John & Marlena travel to Zurich, Ben & Ciara have a romantic getaway in New Orleans, Chad visits some old friends in Phoenix, and Abe, Paulina, Lani, and Eli vacation in Miami. All find themselves embroiled in a mystery involving stolen jewels which, in the wrong hands, could cause dire consequences for Salem. It’s a race against time for ISA agent Billie Reed as she crosses the globe in search of this missing treasure. Packed with all of the romance, action, drama, and surprises that only Days of our Lives can deliver, fans will spend a week with their favorite Salem supercouples and reconnect with many familiar faces along the way.
A premiere date for Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem has not yet been set by Peacock. Episodes are filming now.
What do you think? Are you excited to watch the Days of Our Lives spin-off on Peacock?
Me too WilSon will be on
Do you have to pay to see it?
I’m excited about the series… however if Ben & Ciera do not become one of the super couples on the day time drama (soap) I’ll be honest, I’ll probably drop the soap from my list of favorite on my TV. I have watched”Days” for decades but as of late it’s become very boring. Heck fire the Political area has become more exciting. Sorry Days. The writer’s and producer’s need to get on the ball and bring back some excitement. Stop listening to that demond in your other ear.
I am anxiously waiting for the show!!!!
This could be a great thing, but why the complete tone-deafness of the timing? They should have started this project earlier so it could have actually been streaming on Peacock during the two week Olympic hiatus. It’s not like that would be competing with the Olympics coverage on Peacock. They had ZERO actual live coverage on that platform the first week, and only a couple basketball games so far the second week. And those were fairly late at night. Overall, the NBC coverage of the Olympics has been an unholy disaster. Fortunately, we get CBC & BBC in Hell. Speaking… Read more »
Renew days
Why is this only on peacock? Not everyone has that you know. It’s not cool. The soap has not been on because of the olympics.
Peacock is streaming service through NBC not a channel.Yes they have free version. Check online for more information
I love days of our lives I have watched it from the beginning, I would love to see the spin off but how do you find peacock I don’t know about it
I dont have Peacock channel either. I think they should put on regular channels so everyone can watch. I am a lifelong watcher of Days.
It’s a website that streams Days and NBC shows it is not a TV channel if that helps… peacocktv.com is where you would go once it actually gets released
Peacock is the website that days streams on after its air on tv. It peacocktv.com… if you go to the site you’ll find days as we get it already there a section called Peacock originals which I assume once released might be the section it is found under.
I’m so excited bout this spin off. I have watched dool since it first premiered. I also loved the prime time movies they did. Can’t wait. Please give us a premier date.
Expect another time-jump or other timeline not related to the daily program. Sounds like less of a spin-off, more of an alternate universe ‘what if’ attempt to drum up more viewers to the daily NBC program. Personally, I hope it works even thought I’ve stopped watching Days since Ciara lost her love for Ben. Just once, on any soap, let a young couple live their lives together with stability all the way through retirement. That would certainly shake things up, eh?
Im excited about the spinoff. We will still get to see Days of our life’s thought, right?
It airs specifically on Peacock so streaming plus supposedly will be released over a weekend or something like that but the release date hasn’t yet been revealed so these five episodes are on top of what will already be airing who what I understood from another source…
Excited? Yes! But today is Aug 3rd. Is it on demand?
Why are there no recent programs on.
Olympics were going on so for two weeks Days was preempted while the Olympics took place. That generally happens only difference was Olympics was 1 year later they were supposed to be in 2020 but the pandemic shifted them to the last week of July first week of August of this year.
