Neighbours fans will be left reeling by the news the beloved Aussie soap has officially been axed for a second time.
The long-running favourite was dropped for the first time after 37 years back in 2022, but it then found a surprising saviour in Amazon. However, The Sun reported on Thursday that makers Freemantle had failed to reach a deal with Amazon meaning that the soap will stop production in the summer of 2025. This means that the final episodes of Neighbours will air in late 2025. The official Neighbours social media account confirmed the news in a statement on Friday: "We are sad to announce that Neighbours will be resting from December 2025. New episodes from the 40th anniversary season will continue to air on Prime Video and Ten four times a week until the end of the year, with all the big soapie twists and turns that our viewers love."
