Days of Our Lives fans have no reason to worry because it looks like their favorite soap is getting renewed! As a matter of fact, new reports indicate that the show will be returning for a 56th season. Here's what you need to know.

While NBC and Sony are yet to make any comments or confirmations, Daily Soap Dish is reporting that sources behind closed doors have been saying that renewal is "looking good." Fans can expect to hear from the higher ups sometime during the new year, which is when renewal reports usually come in. Rumors began swirling last week that Days of Our Lives' future was looking grim after a report broke out that DOOL was getting cancelled. DSD debunked the story as a fake news traffic grab attempt, and it looks like they were proven right.

Generally, Days of Our Lives gets renewed in early January, with contracts handed by Corday shortly after. This year was very different as the renewal is happening in November. Perhaps the report that Days was on its deathbed sparked interest to get renewal done early in order to squash the speculation, or maybe this was going to happen this way anyways.

So far the cast hasn't made any comments about the renewal news, although it's without a doubt that everyone will be sleeping a little bit easier in the coming weeks. The news comes just 10 days after it was reported that the Days of Our Lives cast had been released from their contracts. This prompted plenty of speculation about the future of the show and whether or not the NBC network would be pulling the plug on the highly-rated daytime television show. As a matter of fact, Days of Our Lives is the network's longest-running show as it has been on the air for over 50 years now.

With that said, it's without a doubt that fans will also be at ease knowing that their favorite daytime television show is not going anywhere, anytime soon. With the current time jump, there are just so many questions that need to be answered! Will Stefan DiMera come back? Will Lani get her revenge on Gabi? Are Ben and Ciara are going to help set him free from jail, or better yet will they also get married? Of course, fans will have to tune in everyday to find out what will happen next!
