Neighbours wraps after 40 years – as boss drops hint of “hopeful” future

Iconic Aussie soap Neighbours has officially wrapped on filming for the final time. The show will end officially on screens in December 2025 and today, Friday 11th July, the cast have filmed their final scenes on Ramsay Street (Nunawading studios). Amazon had previously saved the soap in 2022, with it returning the following year, but sadly the deal has now come to an end. Executive Producer, Jason Herbison, said: “Neighbours is a special show and it's been a privilege to make the recent seasons for our loyal viewers around the world. We have added 460 episodes to our legacy of over 9000 episodes, something we all feel proud of. "Once again, we will be resting the residents of Ramsay Street on a hopeful note, with some tantalising possibilities for a future chapter.” The iconic cast have been sharing their memories of the soap which recently turned 40, with Stefan Dennis saying: "I never thought a single show would give me the greatest adventures of my career, spanning 40 years. Without Neighbours I would not have meet the people, been to the places and lived the experiences of a lifetime. Thank you all." Alan Fletcher added: "Neighbours has been my happy place for over 30 years. I will always treasure the creative freedom and enthusiasm amongst the whole team that has allowed us to produce a brilliant show for so long." Susan Kennedy star Jackie Woodburne continued: "It’s impossible to measure the gratitude I feel for the gift of 30 years on Neighbours. To do so I would have to calculate the number of extraordinary cast and crew I have been privileged to work with, count the number of laughs I have shared with them, measure the pride I feel for the diverse, dramatic (and sometimes outrageous!) storytelling we have all been a part of. "We are the best version of ‘family’. It has been a wild ride into a happy life. Wouldn’t change it for quids!"
