Soap failed to secure new funding since being dropped by Channel 5
Neighbours will return to screens just months after the Australian soap opera was cancelled by Channel 5.
The final episode of Neighbours on Channel 5 aired in July after the soap failed to secure new funding since being dropped by the broadcaster.
Despite its initial axing, the long-running show is now set for a revival by streaming site Amazon Freevee and production company Fremantle, with a new series to begin filming in Australia next year.
After seeing the ‘fanfare’ generated by the ending of the soap, Amazon Freevee and Freemantle have opted to continue the daily drama series with the likes of Stefan Dennis, Alan Fletcher, Ryan Moloney and Jackie Woodburne returning to reprise their leading roles.
