Following today’s announcement that CBS has renewed “The Young and the Restless” for four additional seasons, which will take the show through its 55th season and keep it on the air through at least the 2027-2028 TV season, many have wondered what that meant for sister soap “The Bold and the Beautiful.” It turns out the show will also continue, albeit for at least one additional season.

According to a report by TV Line, during the half-hour soap’s last renewal order, CBS included an additional option year, which means that when the network ordered two additional seasons back in March 2022, it also had the option to extend that order to a third season. TV Line notes via a CBS insider that the network “will” exercise that option, which means the show will continue through at least the 2024-2025 TV season and makes a formal renewal announcement a moot point. “The Bold and the Beautiful” enters its 38th season in March.

TV Line’s report also notes that before today’s renewal announcement for “The Young and the Restless,” the current CBS renewals for its two soaps run through May 2024.

With ABC making behind-the-scenes changes at “General Hospital,” which will kick off its 62nd season in April, and the networks’ president recently saying they were “deeply committed” to the show, plus with “Days of our Lives” renewed through its 60th season at Peacock, it’s safe to say that the four remaining daytime drama series will continue to live on for at least another year.

“Days of our Lives” is contracted at Peacock through September 2025. “General Hospital” doesn’t officially receive renewal orders at ABC as the network owns the series outright. Like “World News Tonight with David Muir,” “Good Morning America,” and “This Week,” the shows are all network-owned and continue to air until the network decides not to continue with them.
