Amazon Freevee is bringing back the Australian soap opera after it was initially axed – and now we have an official release date.

Neighbours has also released a trailer to accompany the release date news, giving fans a glimpse at many familiar faces - as well as some new characters.

Ramsay Street will be welcoming the Varga-Murphys, with the new family bound to ruffle some feathers following their arrival, while it was previously confirmed that The OC's Mischa Barton will be joining the cast as a guest star in the upcoming series.

Barton will be portraying the enigmatic Reece Sinclair, "an American new to Erinsborough who’s not quite who she appears to be", according to the press release.

Plenty of iconic characters have already signed up to return, including Susan Kennedy (played by Jackie Woodburne), Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher), Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) and Toadie Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney).

Read on for everything you need to know about the revival.

When is Neighbours returning?

Neighbours will be returning on Monday 18th September 2023.

From then, it will air from Monday to Thursday, every week.

In the meantime, classic Neighbours episodes are available to watch on Amazon Freevee.

The new series resumed filming back in April, with an on-set picture confirming the news.

Who will star in Neighbours in 2023?

So far, we know of four characters returning to Neighbours. They are...

  • Susan Kennedy played by Jackie Woodburne
  • Karl Kennedy played by Alan Fletcher
  • Paul Robinson played by Stefan Dennis
  • Toadie Rebecchi played by Ryan Moloney

As for who else, that's yet to be announced - but we'll keep this page up to date as we know more.

Several cast members took to social media on 17th November shortly after the announcement was made, saying they knew nothing of its revival.

That doesn't rule them out though, as some of their on-screen relatives will be back, so there's every possibility they could return.

How to watch the Neighbours revival

The Neighbours revival will air on Amazon Freevee in 2023.

Freevee is Amazon's free streaming service, which replaced IMDb TV.

Like other AVoD services, it shows adverts to generate money, rather than asking viewers to pay to subscribe and use the service.

In good news for Neighbours fans, thousands of classic episodes are now available to stream on Amazon Freevee.
