Days of Our Lives stars past and present returning for miniseries spin-off Beyond Salem

These are the days of our lives... in miniseries form.

NBC is planning a five-episode Days of Our Lives limited series, titled Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem, for its streaming service Peacock that will unite past and present stars of the long-running soap opera.

Actors to be featured include Lisa Rinna as Billie Reed, Deidre Hall as Dr. Marlena Evans, Drake Hogestyn as John Black, Jackée Harry as Paulina Price, James Reynolds as Abe Carver, Victoria Konefal as Ciara Brady, Robert Scott Wilson as Ben Weston, Billy Flynn as Chad DiMera, Lamon Archey as Eli Grant, and Sal Stowers as Lani Price. NBC notes that "additional beloved characters" will be involved in the miniseries.

Rinna's return will not go unnoticed by fans. She left Days of Our Lives in 2018 after playing Billie on the soap since 1992. She has since found a home in reality television on Bravo's The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
