Today’s Big News: The Iconic Peacock Opera Series Finds A New Home!
A major announcement has taken soap fans by surprise just ahead of the new year 2025. While recent headlines focused on General Hospital changing platforms, today’s big news centers on Days of Our Lives, the legendary Peacock soap opera that has now secured a new and stable streaming home for Australian viewers.
Starting January 1, 2025, Days of Our Lives will be available for streaming on 10 Play in Australia, marking a significant shift in how fans can access the long-running daytime drama.
The move comes as part of Network 10’s continued expansion of its soap opera lineup, which also includes The Young and the Restless and the upcoming addition of General Hospital.
Days of Our Lives Begins a New Chapter
For loyal Days of Our Lives fans, this platform change brings welcome clarity. After experiencing uncertainty around broadcast schedules in Australia, the beloved series has now found a consistent streaming home. According to 10 Play, viewers will be able to catch up on recent episodes, with new installments arriving shortly after their U.S. release on Peacock.
Often referred to as the iconic “Peacock soap opera,” Days of Our Lives first premiered in 1965 and has since delivered nearly six decades of unforgettable drama.
Set in the fictional town of Salem, the series follows the intertwined lives of families whose romances, betrayals, and shocking twists have defined daytime television.
A Legacy That Continues to Evolve
Before this transition, Days of Our Lives had moved between several broadcasters in Australia, leaving fans unsure where to follow the story next. The shift to 10 Play signals a new era — one built around on-demand viewing and global accessibility.
With thousands of episodes and numerous Daytime Emmy Awards to its name, Days of Our Lives remains one of the most influential soap operas in television history. Its move aligns with a broader industry trend as classic daytime dramas adapt to modern viewing habits.
10 Play Strengthens Its Soap Lineup
10 Play, formerly known as Tenplay, is Australia’s free video-on-demand and catch-up TV service operated by Network 10. Since launching in 2013, the platform has steadily expanded its content library, and the arrival of Days of Our Lives further cements its position as a destination for soap lovers.
As 2025 begins, Days of Our Lives fans can breathe a sigh of relief. The iconic Peacock soap has found a new home — and the drama in Salem is ready to continue, stronger than ever.
