The reason "Days of Our Lives" is not available on Peacock today is because the production of the show has been temporarily paused due to an ongoing controversy. Specifically, production was suspended for at least a week in connection with an investigation into misconduct allegations against a longtime co-executive producer/director. This has caused the show to be dark for the time being, with filming scheduled to resume only after the hiatus.
Additionally, "Days of Our Lives" moved exclusively to Peacock in September 2022 from NBC, and new episodes are generally released each weekday on the streaming platform. The show remains one of Peacock's top titles and has been renewed for future seasons, but temporary production pauses like this affect new episode availability on the platform.
