Errol, I wish you’d move this to the Discuss the Soaps or Spoiler forum so more people can see this article! 
 

Beyond that, I’m very excited for this! Clearly Beyond Salem did well and hopefully this means they’ll lean into more Days and soap content. If they want recurring subscribers they need to find a classic soap people can stream. 

I also love that Will is the center of this movie. The gay characters were definitely the biggest highlight of Beyond Salem so I’m hoping for more Leo and nuSonny! It’ll be devastating if Freddie Smith decides to return.

I love this. Not only must Beyond Slem done well, but data must backup how popular Will and Sonny are to center this around Will. I assume Zach will also be back as Sonny. I can't wait to see who else is involved.

Regardless of the actual execution, this is a wonderful idea. I'm happy for the Days fans. Hopefully it will live up to the expectations of the fans.

There's a big banner headline, so honestly, this was the first thing I saw when I logged in a few minutes ago. I don't know what it looked like before.

I'm not even a Days viewer, and even I saw this!

Where's @Soapsuds ? His going to flip out.

[AlexElizabeth]

Love it. Hopefully Zack Tinker will be back. Can't wait to see who all will be in this. 

[Soapsuds]

OMG Yes!! 

The success of Beyond Salem and Chandler's Christmas movie lead to this! I'm sure Peacock noticed the success of the Christmas movie too. 

I can't wait!!

I saw the news on Facebook! I follow SOD and they broke the news! 

What a great morning!!!!

Again, regardless of quality, they're clearly continuing to invest in Days on streaming and that's good for the genre.

[Errol]

Actually, no they didn't (RE: SOD). In fact, even as of this comment they still haven't mentioned when the movie will air, and incorrectly states in their article that the movie is a special. Not even the same thing.

[Soapsuds]

Was it you? Like say ummm.... Well you know.

I logged in to Facebook first this morning and that's why I saw it first there.

[Errol]

While our time stamps are two minutes off, with SON going up first, the news originally came at 10am ET. SOD only posted when they did because of a followup email that was sent 40 minutes later.

I'm being petty. I don't care.

[Soapsuds]

Lol...

I'll give you the credit!  

I'm really happy about the news!

The movie has been filmed already?

@Errol When was the movie filmed?

[Errol]

Currently not much else has been announced but I believe the movie was already filmed and I know of about three other people in it that I can't mention right now.
