Oz soap is back

NEIGHBOURS will return to screens just months after the Australian soap opera was cancelled by Channel 5.

The final episode of Neighbours on Channel 5 aired in July after the soap failed to secure new funding since being dropped by the broadcaster.

Despite its initial axing, the long-running show is now set for a revival by streaming site Amazon Freevee and production company Fremantle, with a new series to begin filming in Australia next year.
