Peacock has ordered five episodes of Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem, a spinoff that brings Lisa Rinna (Billie Reed) back to the canvas alongside Deidre Hall (Marlena Evans), Drake Hogestyn (John Black), James Reynolds (Abe Carver), Jackée Harry (Paulina Price), and more.
Holy guacamole! Days of our Lives is set to bring fans even more soapy fun with a new series to air on Peacock. Titled Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem, the spinoff will feature a host of DAYS favorites, including the return of Lisa Rinna in the role of iconic Salemite Billie Reed.
According to an official press release, the limited series will consist of five episodes that feature Salemites having adventures around the globe during a long and drama-packed weekend. John (Drake Hogestyn) and Marlena (Deidre Hall) travel to Zurich; Ben (Robert Scott Wilson) and Ciara (Victoria Konefal) have a romantic getaway in New Orleans; Chad (Billy Flynn) visits some old friends in Phoenix; and Abe (James Reynolds), Paulina (Jacke Harry), Lani (Sal Stowers), and Eli (Lamon 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. The result is "a race against time for ISA agent Billie Reed as she crosses the globe in search of this missing treasure."
Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem -- which promises all the romance, action, drama, and cliffhangers that only Days of our Lives can deliver -- will also feature additional beloved characters who will make surprise appearances and join the hunt for stolen gems across the globe.
