Lights, Camera, Action!
Filming Commences On The Brand New Chapter Of Neighbours.
It’s the news fans across the world have been waiting for. Neighbours, Australia’s longest running drama, will commence filming in Melbourne on Monday, 17 April, 2023, bringing the beloved production back to life.
Unquestionably a television institution and globally respected as a launch pad for film and television careers spanning all facets of the industry, Neighbours will welcome back cast and crew to its Nunawading studios, when filming recommences next month.
Cherished cast members Stefan Dennis, Jackie Woodburne, Alan Fletcher, Ryan Moloney, Annie Jones, Rebekah Elmaloglou, Georgie Stone and Tim Kano will reprise the roles that have endeared them to audiences around the world.
Jason Herbison, Neighbours Executive Producer, said: “It feels very real now. It’s a hive of activity at the studio. We’re busy writing the next chapter of Neighbours, bringing to life again the show’s much-loved characters as well as new residents. It’s exciting to see the sets being prepped, ready to start filming on April 17 which will be a huge day for everyone involved.”
The revitalised series, which follows the lives, loves and challenges of the residents of Ramsay Street, will air later this year.
Neighbours will continue to be broadcast in Australia on Network 10, the home of Neighbours for over three decades. Network 10 will retain first-run rights in Australia and episodes will be available ad free on Prime Video in Australia seven days later.
TV Blackbox understands storylines for the rebooted series will pick up a “couple of years” from the events featured during its 2022 conclusion. Producers are yet to confirm how many episodes will be produced under the new deal, or if location filming will return to the famous homes of Pinoak Court in Melbourne.
The British leg of Neighbours: The Celebration Tour finished in London last night. Next stop: Melbourne.
Mackenzie’s wedding gown is part of Melbourne Museum’s Rainbow Threads exhibition, which starts today and runs until February 11 next year.
I’ve just finished watch the seasons I needed to catch up with 2019 ,2021 ,2022 and just watched the finale . Loved it was a great send off for the show . I like that it’s coming back for a couple more seasons I will give it a go for a couple weeks when it returns. Hopefully the storyline’s will drive me back in.
if it doesn’t well at least i can go and say the finale was perfect ending for the show.
Great interview with Rebecca (I always liked Terese as a character)
TV Week is currently holding a reader competition, with the prize being two VIP meet and greet tickets to Neighbours: The Celebration Show in Melbourne on April 16, plus a $500 Eftpos card. Details here:
Competition closes Easter Sunday at 11.59pm AEST.
Big announcements expected when filming returns on Monday.
Charlotte Chimes has confirmed her character Nicolette ( daughter of Annie Jones’ Jane Harris) has been recast.
She said that on April Fools Day, didn’t she?
I hope this isn’t true, Charlotte is an amazing actress and would be a huge loss to the show.
Cameras start rolling again on Neighbours tomorrow morning and Studio 10’s Angela Bishop will be there.
Neighbours: The Celebration Tour finished tonight at Melbourne’s Hamer Hall. There will be more photos later.
Lucinda Cowden, who was at the event, would return to the soap.
