- Classic episodes of the long-running Australian soap opera Neighbours are set to air on UK television this summer for the first time in decades.
- UKTV announced a landmark deal with producer Fremantle to broadcast the first two years of the show's history on its U&Drama channel.
- A total of 420 episodes will be shown chronologically, offering nostalgia for long-time fans and a chance for new viewers to experience the show's origins.
- This news follows the recent cancellation of Neighbours by Amazon Freevee, despite its success as one of their most-watched shows and its Daytime Emmy nominations.
- Fans are expressing hope that this move signifies continued international interest in the Neighbours intellectual property and could potentially pave the way for a full revival of the series.
