Despite the entire cast of "Days of Our Lives" being released from their contracts in November, the daytime soap opera will continue, Deadline reported Saturday morning.

NBC Chairman Paul Telegdy at TCA confirmed the show's continuance despite an official renewal for it's 56th season.

"We are in a middle of finding out very soon," Telegdy said in Deadline's article, "Of course DAYS OF OUR LIVES is going to carry on. We love it.... I know that will be good news for the fans."
