Will Y&R End Up On A Streaming Platform?

The Young and the Restless (Y&R) fans want the daytime soap to move to a streaming platform. They would love to see it turn into a show that celebrates cussing and nudity as Days of Our Lives has featured on its show.

The NBC soap moved to Peacock earlier this year. Would the same happen for Y&R? Keep on reading to learn more.

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Will Y&R Move To Streaming?

The Young and the Restless fans want to know if the soap will end up on streaming. This question was brought to the SoapCentral.com Message Boards.

The user madluv4ya wrote: “Should Y and R go to a streaming service? I stopped watching DOOL years ago, even before they left network television.

For whatever reason I turned into it tonight on Peacock. Within the first 15 minutes, I saw a (potential) Asian couple, a gay storyline, cool-looking new sets I’ve never seen before, and seemingly interesting characters with a mix of old school and new.”

This poses the question of whether it could work for The Young and the Restless. The show has introduced new sets this year in light of the show’s 50th anniversary.

However, some fans wonder if it could use a makeover by joining a streaming service. Some fans took to the thread to share their thoughts.

“I agree about Days, I like it better since it moved to Peacock. I would follow Y&R to a streaming service but I do get frustrated with commercials and it depends on the cost.

I hope it works for Days before I decide on Y&R leaving a network though,” one fan wrote.

It was a successful move for Days of Our Lives. It revived some of the current storylines and offered fresh perspectives with new characters.

The new sets also helped give the long-running soap a new life. Fans think that The Young and the Restless should only consider moving to Paramount Plus if it’s open to change.

“I have watched both Days/YR since I was a kid in 1984. Unless YR made major changes in how they write stories and execute how their characters in them. I would say no. Not the way it is,” one fan responded.

“I would be careful about what you wish for, because IMO, Days has lost some of what made it Days, due to its move to Peacock and just isn’t the same show that I grew up watching,” another argued.

The Young and the Restless could consider moving to streaming. There’s been a demand in recent months on just the SoapCentral.com Message Boards alone.

Most shows are moving to streaming platforms these days since it’s beneficial for them. However, some don’t want to pay for additional streaming services.
