Ramsay Street has finally been thrown a rare lifeline, with brand new episodes commissioned for 2023 on 10 and Prime Video,

Neighbours fans rejoice!

The seemingly impossible has happened, with the long-running soap being thrown a rare lifeline.

Neighbours, and the much-loved residents of Ramsay Street, is returning in 2023 after Fremantle, the producers of the iconic Australian series, secured Amazon Freevee and Prime Video as their international partner.

Network 10, the home of Neighbours for over three decades, will retain first run broadcast rights in Australia.

Stefan Dennis as Paul Robinson, Alan Fletcher as Karl Kennedy, Ryan Moloney as Toadie Rebecchi, and Jackie Woodburne as Susan Kennedy reprise their roles as residents of Ramsay Street.

"Neighbours has captivated its audience for nearly 40 years, building a dedicated and loyal following for the lives and stories of the characters on Ramsay Street," said Lauren Anderson, head of AVOD original content and programming, Amazon Studios. "With the power of streaming, we're able to offer a catalogue of thousands of Neighbours episodes for new audiences to discover this legendary series and current fans to relive their favorite moments.

We look forward to immersing the audience in new Ramsay Street experiences when we relaunch the show next year for Amazon Freevee and Prime Video customers."

"Neighbours is a unique series with a powerful connection with its fans across the world. We cherish the show and all those who have been part of its incredible story over many decades, so we are thrilled that we have found a new home with Amazon Freevee. Thanks to the innovative Amazon Freevee platform, many classic episodes will be available to fans, and Neighbours will go back into full production in Australia early next year, providing our fans with new episodes," said Jennifer Mullin, global CEO, Fremantle. "This partnership with Amazon Freevee marks an exciting new chapter, and we look forward to collaborating with them, along with our long-term and valued partner in Australia, Network 10."

Neighbours ran for more than three decades and nearly 9,000 episodes, garnering fans across the globe and launching the careers of many household names. The Australian show has screened in multiple countries during its reign, including the UK, airing on both BBC One and, most recently, Channel 5, since its launch in 1985. The final episode of Neighbours aired in July 2022 and featured guest star appearances from Kylie Minogue, Guy Pearce, Jason Donovan, and Margot Robbie, all of whom were series cast members earlier in their careers.

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.

UK and U.S. audiences can view the series free of charge on Amazon Freevee. The revitalised series will also be available ad free on Prime Video in Australia and New Zealand seven days following the free to air viewing of the new series, and exclusively on Prime Video in Canada.

Neighbours, everybody needs good Neighbours

Reg Watson, creator of Neighbours, welcomes you to Neighbours.com

"Love them or hate them, we've all got them: NEIGHBOURS!"

When I was Head of Drama for the Grundy Organization I devised successful serials such as THE YOUNG DOCTORS, SONS AND DAUGHTERS, PRISONER (Cell Block H), THE RESTLESS YEARS, and RICHMOND HILL.

But, when I submitted an idea based on something as dull as 'communication' eyebrows were raised and thumbs were turned down. And even when scripts were written about three families living next door to each other, people still had their doubts about the concept which was simply about communication between parents and their children.

30+ years later the serial is viewed in over forty countries throughout the world and it is appropriate that it should now be featured on the Internet which was also an idea based on the same premise, communication.

I am proud of the success of NEIGHBOURS and thank the many actors, writers, directors and other creative people who have worked so hard to maintain its popularity
