The teaser (watch in the video above) gives fans a laundry list of things to look forward to during future episodes dropping this fall on Peacock. It kicks off with the unexpected arrival of Dominic Marino (Kyle Pryor) revealing himself to EJ DiMera (Daniel Feuerriegel). "We meet at last ... Hello brother," Dominic says.

Later on, Chanel DiMera (Raven Bowens) begs her husband Johnny (Carson Boatman) to finally escape out of Salem. But that's not all. In another nail-biting moment, Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) tells Cat Green (AnnaLynne McCord), "You are not trained as an undercover agent," only for Cat to respond by simply holding up a mysterious USB drive. 

Ultimately, Days of our Lives audiences know by now to expect the unexpected, and no storyline, twist, or character arc is off-limits, no matter how wild or supernatural things get — and the teaser is just a hint of what's to come this season.

In a 2026 interview with NBC Insider, Deidre Hall — who has starred on the show for 51 seasons and counting as Marlena Evans — spoke about her longevity and how she feels being synonymous with Days of our Lives for so many decades.

"It's a little absurd," Hall confessed. "I mean, I feel like I just got there and every day I get to work, I think, 'Wow, look what I get to do,' I get to come in here with a brand-new script and see people that I really admire and respect, and I don't just mean my co-stars, which of course I do, but our directors and our producers and our cameramen, and everybody's giving over 100% to pull in the same direction and make it the best job they can possibly do every single day, which is an impossible ask."
