Mischa Barton is set to join Neighbours for the Australian soap’s revival on Amazon Freevee.
The O.C. actress will guest star in the forthcoming series, which was confirmed last year after the soap was axed from its previous home on Channel 5. Barton will arrive in the fictional Melbourne suburb of Erinsborough as Reece, an American who is new to the area and “not quite who she appears to be”.
Speaking about joining the soap, which first aired in 1985, the 37-year-old said: “I’m excited to be part of this iconic show’s next chapter, and I am really looking forward to being back in Australia, a place I know and love. I think the character of Reece is going to be a great role for me to explore and play with.”
