Amazon Freevee has added a collection of classic Neighbours episodes to its free streaming library.

The long-running soap opera follows the lives, loves, and challenges of the residents on Ramsay Street in Erinsborough, Australia, a fictional suburb of Melbourne. Launching in 1985, Neighbours ran for more than three decades and nearly 9,000 episodes, garnering fans across the globe and launching the careers of many household names. In the UK, it’s had multiple homes, airing initially on BBC One and, most recently, Channel 5. The final episode aired in July 2022 and featured guest star appearances from Kylie Minogue, Guy Pearce, Jason Donovan, and Margot Robbie, all of whom were series cast members earlier in their careers.

After millions of nostalgic fans tuned in to watch the episode, Amazon and Fremantle are teaming up to revive the series later this year. Stefan Dennis, Alan Fletcher, Ryan Moloney, and Jackie Woodburne will all return to reprise their leading roles.

Before then, Freevee is releasing a selection of archive highlights. The collection includes all episodes from 2012, featuring the show’s memorable first kiss between characters Chris and Aidan, as well as Toadie’s heartwarming proposal to Sonya, and Lucas and Vanessa’s dramatic wedding day.

Alongside that is a selection of some legendary episodes of Neighbours, including a variety of episodes featuring Margot Robbie, Russell Crowe, Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Guy Pearce, Natalie Imbruglia and Liam Hemsworth.

The step is the first in a series of monthly archive highlights building up to the show’s return. On 28th February Freevee will also add a variety of Neighbours linear free ad-supported streaming channels (aka FAST channels) including Neighbours – Looking Back (Channel 1) and Best of Neighbours (Channel 2).
