Bo and Hope fans, rejoice! Peter Reckell and Kristian Alfonso returning for Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem

The daytime supercouple is back?

Like sands through the hourglass... soap opera's seminal TV couple is back.

Peacock announced a second chapter of the Days of Our Lives spin-off series Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem — with some major returns: Kristian Alfonso and Peter Reckell will reprise their roles as beloved couple Hope and Bo in the miniseries, set to return on July 11.

But wait! Didn't Bo technically die in the arms of his dearest Hope after he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor? Yes. It's unclear how Beyond Salem's second chapter will address this (a dream sequence, perhaps?), but the five all-new episodes will span across the globe, from Monte Carlo to Hong Kong, as the Salem residents trade the comforts of home for the adventure of a lifetime.

The next chapter ofDays of Our Lives: Beyond Salem is story full of larger-than-life romance, jaw-dropping twists, and high-stakes drama — and it all connects back to a plot that long-time DOOL fans will surely remember."
