12, the network announced Wednesday.“Days” has been the least-watched soap opera compared to other network’s shows for years, Vulture reported.

The Peacock switcheroo comes as the show’s contract with NBC only has one season left. The move allows NBCUniversal — who owns Peacock — to determine the show’s fate.
