Passions Soap Opera: Where to Watch After Its Rebirth on DirecTV

After months of uncertainty and disappointment, fans of the popular soap opera 'Passions' can finally breathe a sigh of relief as it finds new life on DirecTV. The satellite TV provider has announced that it will be giving the show an exclusive home, starting with its ninth season on September 17th.

For those who may not be familiar, 'Passions' is a daytime drama series that follows the lives of the residents in the fictional town of Harmony. The show has been a staple on NBC for eight years and has built a loyal fan base. However, in January, NBC announced that it would be canceling the show due to declining ratings.

But fans need not mourn the demise of their beloved program as DirecTV has come to the rescue. Executive Vice President of Entertainment for DirecTV Eric Shanks expressed his excitement about giving the show a new home, stating, 'Passions fans no longer need to mourn the demise of their beloved program as it has found new life on DirectTV.'

As part of its deal with DirecTV, 'Passions' will remain in its usual 2pm timeslot and encore marathons will be aired on weekends. This is a huge relief for fans who were devastated by the news of the show's cancellation.

The good news doesn't stop there. The soap's eighth season will come to an end on NBC on September 7th, with a series of cliffhangers that are sure to leave viewers eager to find out what happens next. And with DirecTV taking over, fans will be able to continue following the lives of their favorite characters without interruption.

In a statement, Shanks emphasized the importance of giving 'Passions' a new home, saying, 'We care about this show and are extremely proud to give it an exclusive home here at DirectTV.' This marks the first scripted drama series for DirecTV, which has previously offered other original programming to its subscribers.

For millions of viewers who were understandably upset by the news of the show's cancellation, this is a welcome development. As the curtain closes on 'Passions' on NBC, fans can rest easy knowing that their beloved soap will continue to thrive on DirecTV.
