Can Billie get the help she needs to recover the jewels in the first season of the Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem TV show on Peacock? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Beyond Salem is cancelled or renewed for season two. Peacock and other streaming platforms, however, collect their own data. If you’ve been watching this TV series, we’d love to know how you feel about the first season episodes of Beyond Salem here. *Status Update Below.
A Peacock soap opera, the Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem TV show is an extension of the long-running NBC daytime drama.

The series begins as various residents of Salem do some traveling over a long weekend. John Black (Hogestyn) and Marlena Evans (Hall) travel to Zurich while Ben Weston (Wilson) and Ciara Brady (Konefal) have a romantic getaway in New Orleans. Meanwhile, Chad MiMera (Flynn) visits old friends Will Horton (Massey) and Sonny Kiriakis (Tinker) in Phoenix. Abe Carver (Reynolds), Paulina Price (Harry), Lani Price (Stowers), and Eli Grant (Archey) vacation in Miami. All find themselves embroiled in a mystery involving stolen jewels which, in the wrong hands, could cause dire consequences for Salem.

Love this series! Best idea EVER!
I was thrilled to see some of my favorite DOOL actors get extended storylines and I love the plot and the story development in multiple locations. The sets and establishing shots were good and the chance to see former actors from the show was delightful. However, the efforts to add “adult” elements because the format allows it seemed silly and tawdry and unnecessary. Granted, it is tame compared to other prime time and late night shows, but seemed out of place and unnerving with our daytime characters we know and love. Don’t get me wrong. I applaud the idea of… Read more »
I really enjoyed beyon Salem! I also have watched Days since the 60’s. Beyond was a fun and beautiful way to watch beloved old characters interacting with current folks. I really hope that you will continue the series for all of us who can’t get enough of Days!
I really love this mini series and bringing back some past favorite characters especially Shane/Drew. That being said I would make some changes like getting rid of the drag queen club scene and the sex party scenes. Those 2 was in bad taste
I loved it
I wish there was a way to watch instead of on Peacock. I don’t like it!
Loved every minute of it! I’ve watched Days since the very beginning. It always has been and always will be my favorite. Love seeing characters from years past. Just what we need in this day and time – something to put a smile on our faces. Thanks for “Beyond Salem”. Hope to see more in the future. Days of Our Lives – always the best!!
What I expected from the head writer over the topi antics, poor acting by some and doppelgängers. I would not pay for premium Peacock to watch that mess. LR needs to stick to reality t.v. & the two actors plying John & Austin respectfully can’t act.
I actually loved it! I thought it was absolutely awesome! The story line was great! I thought the way they brought back the old cast along with the existing cast was awesome! I want more, more, more of Days of Our Lives Beyond Salem! Love the show!
While the network version of Days has a tendency to suck you in so you continue watching. The Beyond Salem show is nothing short of a train wreck. The writing is terrible the plot was worse. Do yourselves a favor and cancel this bomb.
Days has carved a niche in the campy theater of the absurd. People don’t watch for premium writing or soul stirring drama. Folks just enjoy watching fan fav actors.
I agree
Lousy cheesy beyond reality. I love Days but cancel Beyond Salem please! Acting was terrible except for the regular good Actors.mplease get new writers. Cheap version. Don’t take away from good show
Oh, my acting is a choice. If you like cheap soap opera’s this is your show. The sad thing is that the primary show is worse than this. Need a new writer and better actors. There are a few not on this mini series that can really act, but think writer hides them so it doesn’t take away from Deidre Hall and Drake Hogestyn (John) who are legacy, but acting days have passed them by.
Why have a spin-off of Days of our lives on peacock. It would be nice if you would just leave Days of our lives alone on it’s regular day and time instead of starting a spin-off. Not everyone does streaming or have access to Internet to watch this
I tried to watch but the acting was subpar and a little to what is the word camp. As a favor other characters on the primary show, this wasn’t enough to keep me interested. It’s basically same as current poorly written, acted, produced network show.
I enjoyed it but wished it were in sync with DOOL.
I, just seen it . It was good
