Neighbours is Australia’s longest-running Soap Opera, even though it has been cancelled several times.
The series was once again saved, this time by FreeVee, and it looked like it was going to have a place to live for a while. But that is no longer the case because it was evicted after two seasons by Prime Video, who took over for the defunct Freevee.
Jason Herbison, Neighbours Executive Producer, said: “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 including often appearing as one of the Top 10 titles in the UK and the show’s first ever Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Daytime Series in 2024. 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.”
The news is not all bad. The show will celebrate 40 in March with a special week of episodes. And the show will continue to air new episodes until December. Maybe by then, another network/streamer will save it.
