The long-running Australian soap Neighbours has been cancelled – again, just two years after it was revived by streaming giant Amazon.
“We are sad to announce that Neighbours will be resting from December 2025,” the production announced on Friday morning.
New episodes will continue to air on Amazon Prime Video and Australia’s Channel Ten four times a week until the end of 2025, the statement added, “with all the big soapie twists and turns that our viewers love.”
Neighbours first ended production in 2022, capping off a record 37-year run, when its producers, Fremantle, failed to secure another UK broadcaster after Channel 5 withdrew support. An outpouring of affection for the show after the cancellation led to Amazon announcing a few months later it would reboot the show for its now-defunct Freevee streaming service, with Neighbours: A New Chapter launching in 2023.
Neighbours, which launched the international careers of a number of stars including Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Margot Robbie and Guy Pearce, is still the longest-running drama series on Australian television.
“Audiences all around the world have loved and embraced Neighbours for four decades and we are very proud of the huge success over the last two years,” Neighbours’ executive producer, Jason Herbison, said, citing its continued popularity in the UK and its first Daytime Emmy nomination last year.
“As this chapter closes, we appreciate and thank Amazon MGM Studios for all that they have done for Neighbours – bringing this iconic and much-loved series to new audiences globally. We value how much the fans love Neighbours and we believe there are more stories of the residents of Ramsay Street to tell in the future.”
