Ramsay St residents have been a must for television for four decades
The neighbors of the beloved Australian soap drama were canceled again, two years after being saved by Amazon MGM Studios.
Without specifying a reason, Amazon confirmed that the series would end at the end of 2025 to 40 years and more than 9,000 episodes after its debut on television.
It was canceled for the first time by Channel 5 in 2022, but relaunched by Amazon for its streaming platforms four months after an episode of starred farewell by millions.
The soap – which helped to launch the career of Kylie Minogue, Guy Pearce and Margot Robbie – was a huge success to the Australian and British public, and last year received his first nomination for Emmy.
A statement on the social media of the show indicated that soap “would rest” from December.
“The public around the world has loved and embraced the neighbors for four decades and we are very proud of enormous success in the past two years,” wrote executive producer Jason Herbison.
“We appreciate how fans love neighbors and we think there are more stories of residents of Ramsay Street to tell in the future,” added Mr. Hebrison, suggesting that producers will hunt again A new support.
New episodes will continue to broadcast on Amazon Prime Video and Australia Channel Ten four times a week until the end of 2025.
In a press release, Amazon MGM Studios said he was “proud” to have played “a small role” in the history of the neighbors.
“Forty years is an incredible step,” said a spokesperson.
Taking up and filmed in Melbourne, Neighbors was broadcast for the first time in Australia in 1985 and launched on BBC a year later.
The show recently presented more diverse characters and scenarios, in the midst of questions about how he reflected modern Australia. He presented the first homosexual marriage on Australian television.
He also had his controversies, however. A certain number of actors have recently presented allegations of racism, encouraging the production company Fremantle Media to promise an examination.
The news of the cancellation of the program comes after actor Ian Smith – who plays the faithful of Ramsay Street, Harold Bishop – announced last year that he would leave the show, revealing that he had a terminal cancer.
