Fans of the venerable show expressed worrying concern over the show’s fate after NBC announced last year that it was removing the program completely from its network time slot and relocating it to a new home – its exclusive streaming service, Peacock. Suspicions included that the move was the first step NBC was taking to prepare fans for an impending end. However, the change did not deter faithful fans who moved in droves to the streaming platform and helped it secure a consistent position on Peacock’s coveted Top 10 list which in turn informed Peacock’s decision. In an era where show good ratings don’t always guarantee a renewal, it is satisfying to see Peacock reward fan loyalty by offering two more rounds of drama and adventure through the city of Salem.
