NBC finally released its full schedule for the Winter Olympics, and "Days of Our Lives" will be fully preempted throughout the two weeks of the event. The last "Days" episode will air on Thursday, February 3. "Days" will then be preempted from Friday, February 4 through Friday, February 18 and return with new episodes on Monday, February 21. This is the first time "Days" is being fully preempted for a Winter Olympics. "Days" will air only 9 episodes in February 2022.

I wonder how this will work for ratings since it's sweeps time. I read viewership was down during
the Summer Olympics.
Jason, did Days film episodes to be shown during this time? If so, will they show them on Peacock?

That would be cool.... but Peacock will most likely be showing the "off" events the not as exciting money making events.... the Biathlon or the skeleton and short track speed skating..... while the Parent network will show Skating, bobsled, snowboarding......

Since this sounds unplanned, there will not be a cliffhanger then, correct? Or will we not know this for a few weeks?
oh wouldn't it be loverly..... if Re-Ron were kicked to the curb and we come back from the Olympics with a new head writer and decent non possessed story lines.......
more shirtless Xander and starting shirtless EJ wouldn't hurt either....

Days would have known about this ahead of time, so no episodes will be airing.
I'm sure it was planned well in advance and the Days gang knew about it. We, the fans, just found out about it today once NBC released its schedule for the Olympics.

So, no cliffhanger would likely mean they didn't know, and then there would be two extra weeks of episodes paid for?
