Streaming service Crackle picks up Days Of Our Lives for Australia
Online TV and film streaming site Crackle has acquired the rights to make the iconic soap opera Days of our Lives available in Australia.
Crackle launched in 2009 and streams TV and films from Sony Pictures’ library for free on a number of platforms, including connected TV, gaming consoles, mobiles, tablets and PCs.
Channel Nine axed the soap in April this year due to rising costs.
Ten episodes will be offered in the inaugural week, started next Monday June 17, with seven new episodes released each Monday. Each episode will be available for four weeks.
Crackle has mostly focussed on older films until now, with Days Of Our Lives being the first major acquisition for their television section. Previously Crackle has focussed mainly on cartoons and anime when it comes to that category.
Phil Lynch, senior vice president, digital networks and games for Sony Pictures Television, said: “We are very happy to be offering Days of our Lives fans an opportunity to keep up with the show in Australia.
Mark Young, senior vice president, distribution, Australia & New Zealand for Sony Pictures Television, said: “There has been an outpouring of support from fans across Australia, telling us how much Days of our Lives means to them. We are delighted to be partnering with Crackle to help viewers keep up with the daytime drama as we solidify long term plans.”

just wanted to voice my thoughts on the on line viewing of days of our lives. is this the further we have to look forward to. being cuped up on a chair. in front of a computer. watching a show, that belongs on a tv. kicking back on a comfortable lounge. with a cup of tea in hand. that’s how you should enjoy watching days.. I really think it’s sad that it’s come to this. it’s a joke.

Thank you so very much. I’ve been going crazy wondering what’s happening. Good on you Crackle for providing for so many DOOLs fans across Australia. It was just shocking that it was axed so unceremoniously from our network. Shame on them!

Theresa jones, shame you don’t recognize empowerment when you see it. Try plugging your pc into your TV, or buy an iPad, easy

Thanks so much for bringing back Days of our Lives. Day time tv is not the same without it. Shame it’s not back on commercial tv like it always was. Never thought I’d miss it!

The problem is I found all the full episodes on U Tube and was watching a few episodes every day which was great as I got right up to October 2012, then they were all deleted once Crackle started so I will probaby have to wait at least six months before you catch up to October 2012 so I can start watching again!
Its frustrating being so far behind the USA episodes.

I agree with Andrea- I have done the same, in fact I have watched YouTube edits all the way up to Feb 2013. Maybe Sony should just start us at the beginning of this year and allow Australia to catch up more quickly- hurry- before the bloody cricket starts again!!

Great news about DOOL for all its fans. Big thanks to Crackle on behalf of those who can access the stream. Pity my 82 year old mother, who has watched DOOL from day 1, can’t watch any more. She doesn’t have internet. Channel 9 – shame shame shame.

I downloaded the Crackle app from the Apple App Store to watch Days Of Our Lives.
It is easy and sometimes no ads at all. This is the way to beat Channel 9, it means where once I watched Ellen and The View prior I do not turn on Channel 9 at all. I can watch it @ my convenience. Thanks Sony and Crackle!

According to what I understand, Crackle discontinued streaming services in Australia. We need to find another source to watch days of our lives.
