Following an announcement last week that Corday Productions will be shutting down the DOOLApp and will be moving the bulk of the app’s previously produced digital content to the official YouTube channel for “Days of our Lives,” Soap Opera Network has learned exclusively that fans of the daytime drama series can look forward to seeing the first all-new digital release on the video platform on Tuesday, February 1, just days before the series goes on a more than two-week hiatus as a result of NBC’s presentation of the 2022 Winter Olympics from Beijing.
The push to YouTube allows the company to better reach the show’s international viewers who have been virtually shut out from viewing previously produced digital content up to now. With international viewers in mind, digital content will be available to markets outside of the United States wherever licensing is not an issue.
Content will be released on a weekly basis on the YouTube channel, including the weekly teaser clip highlighting what’s to come in future episodes of the soap, among other original content planned.
First released in November 2018, the DOOLApp featured news, interviews, clips, and other media that brought cast members closer to the fans. The app will be fully shuttered by the end of February.
“Days of our Lives” will be off the air beginning Friday, February 4 through Friday, February 18. The series returns with all-new episodes on Monday, February 21.
