Cue the dramatic music…Is it the end of days for the stars of “Days of Our Lives” — the entire cast just got released from their contracts.
It has been confirmed the producers of the more than 50-year-old soap opera let all their actors out of their deals … meaning they’re all free to get new jobs, but it doesn’t necessarily mean the show’s definitely sunk.
The NBC soap opera, which is about to begin it’s 55th season , is going on indefinite hiatus. The network is expected to decide in early 2020 whether to bring it back for season 56.
The good news for ‘Days’ fans … the soap shoots 8 months in advance, and there’s going to be enough episodes in the bank when the show halts production at the end of November to last through Summer 2020. Whew.
To be clear … “Days of Our Lives” has NOT been canceled. Not yet. It’s possible they’ll bring everyone back, if the network re-ups, but at lower salaries.
