Neighbours' 40th anniversary overshadowed by cancellation news
The Australian soap opera Neighbours is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, but the milestone is overshadowed by its recent cancellation. The show will end in late 2025, marking a significant change for fans and cast members. Stefan Dennis, who has played Paul Robinson since the first episode, expressed disappointment about the cancellation affecting the anniversary's significance. He noted that the show's history includes being canceled three times, making it unique in television. The cancellation follows the shutdown of Amazon Freevee, which previously aired the show. Cast member Rebekah Elmaloglou acknowledged the extra two years granted after a previous cancellation but feels the chances of revival are now slim.
