Classic “Neighbours” Episodes Air on Amazon Freevee This February
On February 23rd, Amazon Freevee will debut a collection of classic episodes of “Neighbours.” All episodes from Season 2012 will be released at once, including the iconic first kiss between Chris and Aidan, Toadie’s sweet proposal to Sonya, and Lucas and Vanessa’s tense wedding. The library’s holdings will debut exclusively on Amazon Freevee in the United States and the United Kingdom. The preceding seasons and episodes will also be available to Prime Video subscribers in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Ireland, and South Africa.
Neighbours episodes featuring Margot Robbie, Russell Crowe, Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Guy Pearce, Natalie Imbruglia, and Liam Hemsworth, among others, will also debut on the service.
After the initial release, a library season of Neighbours from the service’s archive will become available on a monthly basis until the show’s highly anticipated premiere later this year. On February 28, the streaming service will also debut several linear free ad-supported streaming channels (or FAST channels), including “Neighbours – Looking Back” (Channel 1) and “Best of Neighbours” (Channel 2).
The long-running daily drama series will make a surprise return after its 2022 finale, which was viewed by millions of devoted fans. The show covers the lives, loves, and problems of the people of Ramsay Street in Erinsborough, Australia, a fictional suburb of Melbourne.
The new series will debut on Amazon Freevee first in the United Kingdom and the United States. Amazon Freevee and Fremantle revealed last year that they will be bringing back Neighbours, with original cast members Stefan Dennis, Alan Fletcher, Ryan Moloney, and Jackie Woodburne all set to return. Prime Video subscribers in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Ireland, and South Africa will be able to watch the show as well. Production will kick off in the first quarter of this year, and the debut will take place in the latter half of the year.
Over the course of its approximately 9,000 episodes and over three decades on the air, Neighbours gained a global fan base and helped launch the careers of several well-known actors and actresses. The Australian series premiered in 1985 and has subsequently aired on BBC One and, more recently, Channel 5 in the United Kingdom. Kylie Minogue, Guy Pearce, Jason Donovan, and Margot Robbie all made appearances on the final episode of Neighbours, which aired in July 2022.
Neighbours is produced by Fremantle. Jason Herbison, Neighbours‘ executive producer since 2013, will maintain his position on the exciting new chapter of Neighbours, with Andrew Thompson returning as producer.
Australia’s Network 10, which aired Neighbours for 36 years, will retain first-run rights in Australia for the new chapter of the series.
