Neighbours 

Neighbours is returning to screens in the UK. 

The Australian soap aired its final episode in December 2025 after it was axed by Amazon Freevee, the now-dissolved streaming platform that saved the show when it first got the chop in 2022 after Channel 5 dropped Neighbours and its production company, Fremantle, was unable to find another channel to air and fund the programme. 

But fans can rewatch classic episodes of Neighbours - which began in 1985 - as UKTV has struck a deal with Fremantle, which includes the first 420 episodes. 

The episodes will be screened on U&Drama from 11 July. 

Emma Tibbetts, UKTV’s Director of Programming for Scripted, said: "Neighbours is one of television’s most iconic and enduring dramas, and we’re thrilled to bring the back-catalogue to U. 

"This acquisition further expands the breadth of scripted entertainment available on our free streaming service, strengthening our growing slate of global IP. 

"We can’t wait for both long-time fans and new audiences to rediscover the series in its entirety."
