Legendary Neighbours episodes scooped up by streamer – here’s how to watch them on demand

LEGENDARY Neighbours episodes have been scooped up by a streamer – and they’re available to watch soon.

The beloved Australian soap was sensationally axed by Channel 5 last year, bringing production to an end after 37 years.

However, last November it was announced the long-running show was saved from the TV graveyard.

Amazon‘s streaming platform Freevee has snapped up the Ramsay Street-based soap after striking a deal with its makers Freemantle.

And now, in a move that will leave fans delighted, they’ve revealed they’ve acquired the show’s back catalogue.

From February 23 all of the episodes from the show’s season in 2012 will be available to stream.

It includes Chris and Aidan’s first kiss, as well as Toadie’s heart-warming proposal to Sonya, and Lucas and Vanessa’s dramatic wedding day.

Fans will have plenty of Neighbours content to tide them over until its return later this year as a full library season will drop each month.

But that’s not all – Freevee has also announced it’s adding two dedicated channels on its platform for the show.

The linear channels will be called ‘Neighbours – Looking Back’ and ‘Best of Neighbours’ which play episodes back-to-back.

A brand-new series will begin filming in Australia next year and will see show favourites Stefan Dennis (Paul Robinson), Alan Fletcher (Karl Kennedy), Ryan Moloney (Toadfish Rebecchi), and Jackie Woodburne (Susan Kennedy) returning to reprise their leading roles.

Production is set to commence in early 2023 with a world premiere slated for the second half of the year.

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.
