With Days of Our Lives renewed through Season 63, Salem’s future just got more exciting. Executive producer Ken Corday dropped major hints about what’s coming, and it looks like long-term storytelling and global reach will keep the soap’s momentum strong.
A Bright Future on Peacock: Corday’s Vision for DOOL
Ken Corday couldn’t be happier about Days of Our Lives landing a two-season renewal from Peacock. Calling the show’s future “brighter than ever,” he celebrated the show’s continued bond with the NBCU family. This fall marks the 60th anniversary of the series, and Corday is planning to make it unforgettable.
Corday explained that streaming has helped Days of Our Lives evolve. Unlike traditional network television, Peacock offers new flexibility and a wider audience. This shift, according to him, is key to the show’s continued success. He firmly believes the future of Days of Our Lives will live in the streaming world.
The Days of Our Lives Production Secret: Staying Ahead Pays Off
Corday addressed fans’ concerns about production changes. He shared that the show’s fast-paced production schedule is intentional and strategic. In fact, this method helped Days of Our Lives air fresh episodes even during the pandemic, when others paused or ran reruns.
By filming several months ahead, the show stays budget-friendly while maintaining its creative edge. Corday’s “dare to lead” mindset, quoting Roman poet Virgil, keeps the drama fresh while ensuring quality. He’s proud of the choices that have helped the show survive and thrive in a competitive market.
Stories That Stick: What Keeps Viewers Coming Back
So, what’s next on Days of Our Lives? Corday didn’t drop specific spoilers, but he hinted at sticking to the core formula: romance, adventure, and intrigue. The focus will remain on family legacies—especially the Hortons, DiMeras, Kiriakises, and Bradys.
Corday credited the show’s longevity to its original storytelling roots. Created by his parents, the show has never strayed far from its emotional foundation. The goal is to polish it, evolve it slightly, but never break what’s worked for decades. With that in mind, fans can expect big twists, heartfelt reunions, and classic Salem chaos.
Emmy Glory and Global Reach: Days of Our Lives Is Expanding Legacy
Earlier this month, Days of Our Lives earned 13 Daytime Emmy nominations—the highest since its move to Peacock. That kind of recognition only boosts the show’s relevance and reminds viewers why they’ve stayed loyal for decades.
International audiences are also tuning in. With viewers in countries like Israel, Australia, and Sweden, Salem’s stories continue to resonate far beyond the U.S. Corday is confident this wide appeal will help Days of Our Lives last “many, many more years.”
Days of Our Lives is not slowing down. With a two-season renewal, the drama in Salem is far from over. Expect bold risks, heartfelt family moments, and plenty of jaw-dropping twists. For all the latest updates on Days of Our Lives, stay with Soap Opera Daily. See you in Salem!
