Neighbours axed after failed deal with Amazon
After failing to reach a new agreement with production company Fremantle, Amazon has decided to pull the plug on the beloved Australian soap opera Neighbours once again. The final episode is set to air at the end of the year, marking the end of production this summer.
Revived and Axed in Just Two Years
Neighbours was initially axed by Channel 5 after 37 years but was brought back to life by Amazon in a multi-year deal in 2022. The revival included appearances from iconic stars like Margot Robbie, Kylie Minogue, and Guy Pearce in an emotional farewell. However, after two years of streaming on Amazon Freevee, the show is facing another cancellation.
Disappointing Viewership Leads to Funding Pull
According to sources, Amazon decided to end its venture into soaps due to underwhelming viewership numbers. Despite a nomination for best daytime drama series and best guest performance at the Emmy Awards last year, the show did not attract enough viewers to sustain its production.
The End of an Era
With the cast and crew in Melbourne facing an uncertain future, the decision to cancel Neighbours marks the end of a significant chapter for the long-running soap opera. The fate of the show's stars and production team remains unclear following this latest development.
Uncertain Future
As Neighbours prepares to say goodbye once again, fans and industry insiders are left wondering about the legacy of the iconic soap opera and what the future holds for its talented cast and dedicated crew.
