Long-running Australian soap will be ‘resting’ from December, after streaming giant decides to withdraw from production

The long-running Australian soap Neighbours has been cancelled – again, just two years after it was revived by streaming giant Amazon.

The show, which has been made in Melbourne since 1985, issued a statement on Friday morning: “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.”
