Neighbours is set to return to screens in 2023 following its axe from Channel 5 last year and the soap has confirmed some big-name comebacks too.
The Australian soap aired its final episode in July 2022 after 37 years on air.
But in a shock twist, Neighbours is returning for a new series next year.
Amazon had already announced some huge faces to return including Stefan Dennis as Paul Robinson.
And now show stalwart Dr Karl Kennedy actor, Alan Fletcher, has revealed secrets of the first storyline.
What do we know about the Neighbours return?
Neighbours fans were left devastated when the soap was cancelled.
Following its finale, streaming service Amazon Freevee started conversations with Fremantle.
Now Amazon Freevee will be the new home of the Ramsay Street soap.
It will air exclusively on Amazon Freevee in the UK and USA, as well as hold streaming rights to thousands of episodes from the previous seasons.
The series is also due to stream on Prime Video in Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
Australia’s Network 10 will retain first-run rights in Australia for the new episodes.
When is Neighbours coming back?
Amazon Freevee dropped loads of classic episodes of the Aussie soap in February.
A wide selection of episodes from Neighbours’ 37-year-old history is available on Freevee.
This includes an entire season of the show from 2012.
Eagle-eyed fans will spot future stars Guy Pearce, Margot Robbie, Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan in their earliest roles.
Neow, Stefan Dennis, who plays Paul Robinson, has revealed during a recent press junket: “It should be back on screens in Autumn.”
He then clarified: “Autumn over here in the UK.”
Annie Jones, who plays Jane Harris, also teased the first episode: “Our executive producer did share the cover of the first script with us, which was a big tease!”
She added: “We’re all so excited and can’t wait to read and see what’s in store.”
Filming is expected to start this spring and the premiere of the new series scheduled for autumn.
Fremantle’s new partnership
Global CEO of Fremantle Jennifer Mullin added: “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 with Amazon Freevee.
“Thanks to the innovative Amazon Freevee Platform, many classic episodes will be available to fans, and Neighbours will go back into full production in Australia early next year, providing fans with new episodes.”
She continued: “This partnership with Amazon Freevee marks an exciting new chapter, and we look forward to collaborating with them, along with our long-term and valued partner in Australia, Network 10.”
