Just two years after Amazon revived the long-running Aussie series after it was dropped by Ten, it has been revealed that the streaming giant is also set to abandon the production.
According to The Sun, production will cease in the UK summer, with the final episode ever airing at the end of the year.
Fans were quick to express their devastation over the reported axing.
“Absolutely devastated that @Neighbours is being axed again,” one fan tweeted on X, as another expressed, “Just heard that #Neighbours is being axed again. I am beyond gutted.”
“I can’t believe it. Please let it not be true #Neighbours to be axed again. Please @PrimeVideo @neighbours say it’s just a rumour,” another wrote, as one commented, “Neighbours is axed again?? Ffs why bring it back in first place then.”
It was back in June 2022 that Ten axed the iconic soap after 37 years on screens.
The news was confirmed at the time after Australian production company Fremantle Media failed to find a new broadcast partner following UK network Channel 5’s decision to withdraw its partnership – Channel 5 foots the majority of the Neighbours production bill.
“Following the loss of our key broadcast partner in the UK and despite an extensive search for alternative funding, we simply have no option but to rest the show,” a post to the Neighbours,” the show’s official X account tweeted at the time.
“To our amazing, loyal fans, we know this is a huge disappointment, as it is to all of us on the team. We thank you for all your messages and support and promise to end the show on an incredible high. From here on, we are celebrating Neighbours.”
More than 60,000 fans signed a petition to try to save the show following news of its axing, and in November that year it was given a lifeline by Amazon Freevee.
“Neighbours is a unique series with a powerful connection with its fans across the world,” said Jennifer Mullin, Fremantle’s CEO.
“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 made a triumphant return to screens in September 2023, with beloved stars Alan Fletcher (Dr Karl Kennedy), Jackie Woodburne (Susan Kennedy), and Ryan Moloney (Jarrod “Toadfish” Rebecchi) all on-board for the revival.
The revival also featured some big-name international stars such as The O.C. star Mischa Barton and Chrishell Stause from the Netflix hit Selling Sunset.
