Peacock Orders DAYS Spinoff: Beyond Salem

[KMan101]

My excitement is dampened by the concern over budget and how the show will look as well as how the CIN stans have already made it all about them. I cringed seeing their involvement.

 

Other than that, I think this is a great idea! More of this please! Lisa Rinna is a bit of an odd choice to focus it around but whatever, it's still nice to see her. Billie doesn't feel as needed anymore without Bo or Hope, or even Austin around. Yeah there's Lucas and Kate but meh ... I'd rather see Shane Donovan. Anywho in the context of a limited series It's nice to see her.

 

It bodes very well IMO. I like this a lot.

 

I know we had the Chabby and Last Blast webseries' as well but this seems more ... official? I wonder if it gets coins thrown at it and it's not just re-dressed sets and filming in the local woods.

 

I LOL at Deadline "from it's launch in 1992". No, Lisa Rinna joined the show IN 1992. Sorry, I'm nitpicky and petty.

I’ve been saying if these apps soaps wanna survive they need to build their streaming output. This is a smart move for Days and since it’ll use many of their biggest cast members, it’ll get eye balls. Hopefully this goes well enough to develop a proper spin off with a stand alone story!

I hope this inspires Paramount Plus to do the same with the Bell soaps and Hulu with GH. Forrester International is literally begging for a spin off

Using Deidre and Drake, Lisa and the Black cast (and yes, Ben and Ciara, sigh) when they move to Peacock is no coincidence. To me it indicates someone involved is looking to the future and the modern demographics, which network daytime simply doesn't do.

[KMan101]

 

So much potential. The reality is, these soaps do well on streaming platforms. And it's time they took advantage of it.

 

Good way to put it. 

[Forever8]

I would love to see a Forrester International Spinoff with Rick, Thorne, Felicia, Dino and a host of new characters and characters from the mother ship visiting from time to time.

Smart move. If successful, I think other soaps (past and present) will follow this model.

ABC can't cause they don't have a streaming service lol, and you have to have a cable provider to watch anything on their website

Cin = no interest from me. 

[janea4old]

You can already watch GH on Hulu. I don't have any cable service and I can watch full GH episodes there.  I just log into hulu.com on my PC and it works.

But the GH epis are up for a limited time before they get taken down.

Yeah that's what I mean, ABC has HULU, but nothing for their own shows, I don't count Disney +

Heck even the CW has the app you can watch.

This Peacock Days spinoff is five episodes over one week, and it's supposed to cover "a long weekend" in Salem time. Curious when this will air/stream/whatever.

[Cat]

Agreed. Peacock isn't just doing this for sh!ts and giggles. They want to test the waters, see if Days has pulling power (although I hear NBCu is already pleased with the demos streaming the daily Days episodes).

[DaytimeFan]

That is really encouraging news and goes to show that there is someone at DAYS/NBC who has some vision for how the business model can evolve.

[AbcNbc247]

This is a good idea. They probably are just testing the waters for the future, but I’m glad that means that NBC is still invested in Days.
