It starts next month
Last updated 15th Aug 2023
More than a year after Neighbours was axed from Channel 5, a full-length trailer has been released for the newly revived series, due to appear on Amazon Freevee from 18th September.
The new series will be set two years after the series finale, which brought back household names Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Margot Robbie and Natalie Imbruglia, as they reunited to say goodbye to Ramsay Street.
Fans will already know that several of the popular characters from the series will be returning for the new series, with the likes of Ryan Moloney reprising his role of Toadie, Alan Fletcher as Karl Kennedy, Jackie Woodburne as Susan Kennedy and Stefan Dennis as Paul Robinson.
Now, in the first full-length trailer to be released, fans get the chance to see a glimpse of what we can expect to see from 18th September, with drama and scandals, ending with a wedding to remember.
Along with the fan favourites there will be several new characters introduced to the famous street including The Varga-Murphys, who consist of mums Remi and Cara, and their teenage sons, JJ and Dex.
Mischa Barton will also be guest starring in the series as Reece. The actress who has appeared in films such as The Sixth Sense, and TV shows The O.C. and The Hills, admitted she's never actually watched an episode of Neighbours.
Despite this, she is a big fan of Kylie and talking to the Herald Sun, via Daily Mail she explained: "I was familiar with it, probably the same things that most people recognise about the show, like Kylie Minogue and the fun stuff.
"So when the producers approached me about the role, I thought the character of Reece Sinclair was a very good fit."
Neighbours will be returning to our screens via Amazon Freevee on 18th September.
