In June 2022, Jason Herbison wrapped up filming the final episode of the iconic Australian soap opera, 'Neighbours.' Fast forward two years, and the show is making a surprising comeback, thanks to a deal with Amazon's Freevee streaming service. The revival marks a dramatic turn of events for the beloved series, which faced an uncertain future after Channel 5 ended its contract.
Despite the emotional send-off in the finale, talks were ongoing behind the scenes to bring 'Neighbours' back to life. With a new platform and fresh storylines, the show returned in April 2023, introducing a two-year time jump and new characters, including Mischa Barton. The unexpected revival also led to a Daytime Emmy nomination, pitting the Australian favorite against long-standing U.S. daytime dramas.
