Neighbours will be "rested" from December 2025 with no new episodes currently planned

The news comes weeks ahead of the show's 40th anniversary.

Following reports that Neighbours had been axed again, it has now been confirmed that the news is true, with the soap choosing to describe it as "resting from December 2025".

As the show gears up to celebrate its 40th anniversary in month, those episodes will still continue to air on Prime Video and Ten four times a week with episodes continuing through to the end of the year.

Speaking about the sad news, Executive Producer, Jason Herbison said "Audiences all around the world have loved and embraced Neighbours for four decades and we are very proud of the huge success over the last two years including often appearing as one of the Top 10 titles in the UK and the show’s first ever Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Daytime Series in 2024."

"As this chapter closes, we appreciate and thank Amazon MGM Studios for all that they have done for Neighbours – bringing this iconic and much-loved series to new audiences globally."

Before adding "We value how much the fans love Neighbours and we believe there are more stories of the residents of Ramsay Street to tell in the future."

Could the decision be reversed? Could another broadcaster sweep in and save the soap once again?
