NBC keeps the Days Of Our Lives running for a record time

Daily Mail reports that American commercial broadcast television network NBC has renewed its soap opera, Days Of Our Lives, for a 55th season. First introduced in 1965, the renewal makes the soap opera the network's longest-running show to date.

Despite losing viewership over the years, the character's mischiefs have kept viewers glued to the screen; the show's 2017 season even increased its viewership by four percent. Last year, the soap broadcast its 13,500th episode.

The series is available in 25 countries beyond the US. Read more at Daily Mail.
