Just four months after the iconic Australian soap Neighbours bid its emotional farewell, Amazon has announced it will resurrect the series starring favourite old characters.
The new series will start filming in Australia next year, with the production company Fremantle signing a deal with Amazon Freevee.
Among the returning cast are fan favourites Alan Fletcher as Karl Kennedy, Jackie Woodburne as Susan Kennedy, Stefan Dennis as Paul Robinson, and Ryan Moloney as Toadie Rebecchi.
As well as a new series of the soap, Amazon will also host the show’s 37-year back catalogue of classic episodes.
Fremantle’s CEO Jennifer Mullin said: “Neighbours is a unique series with a powerful connection with its fans across the world. We cherish the show and all those who have been part of its incredible story over many decades, so we are thrilled that we have found a new home.”
Neighbours will be available to watch on Amazon Freevee in the second half of 2023.
