Executive producer of Neighbours, since 2013, Jason Herbison, said:

ā€œIt feels very real now. Itā€™s a hive of activity at the studio.

ā€œWeā€™re busy writing the next chapter of Neighbours, bringing to life again the showā€™s much-loved characters as well as new residents.

ā€œItā€™s exciting to see the sets being prepped, ready to start filming on April 17 which will be a huge day for everyone involvedā€.

Andrew Thompson is also returning as a producer as the new series is set to be filmed at Nunawading Studios in Melbourne.

The suburb, east of Melbourneā€™s Central Business District, is where the soap has been previously filmed.

Since first airing in 1985, the soap has followed the lives of those living and working in the fictional Melbourne suburb of Erinsborough.

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.

After seeing the ā€˜fanfareā€™ generated by the ending of the soap, Amazon Freevee and Freemantle opted to continue the daily drama series with the likes of Stefan Dennis, Alan Fletcher, Ryan Moloney and Jackie Woodburne returning to reprise their leading roles.

The new Neighbours series, produced by Fremantle, will premiere for free on the streaming service Amazon Freevee in the UK and US in Autumn 2023.
