Neighbours<\/a> star Rebekah Elmaloglou has shared a disappointing update on the show’s future. The beloved Aussie soap was cancelled for a second time<\/a> last February, just under two years after making a comeback on Amazon.<\/p>\n

Speaking to TV Tonight<\/a> following her stint on the Australian version of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, Elmaloglou suggested we may never return to the residents of Erinsborough. <\/p>\n

The Terese Willis actress said: “The fan groups are still going strong, and there\u2019s still so much hope out there. <\/p>\n

“I think Jason [Herbison, executive producer] is probably going to leave it be for a while. I think he needs a break. I think everyone needs a break. I don\u2019t know. <\/p>\n

“I think it may be finished this time round. But the fan groups are still going.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just a month ago, Elmaloglou was more optimistic<\/a> about Neighbours’ future when she told TV Week<\/a>: “I just get the feeling that Jason Herbison, our wonderful executive producer, won’t just leave it at that.<\/p>\n

“I’m sure he’ll come up with some fabulous ideas for a spin-off or reunion special. It’s just too much of an iconic show to let go.”<\/p>\n

Neighbours aired its final episode<\/a> in December 2025, with the finale leaving open the possibility for a revival in a new location or a very different-looking Ramsey Street.<\/p>\n

Speaking a the time of the final episode’s airing, Herbison exclusively told Digital Spy<\/a>: “I always knew that if the show ended, I would have to go a very different way to 2022. There was just no way to compete with the last finale and I needed a fresh angle.<\/p>\n

“I also knew that we’d be saying goodbye to our Nunawading Studios shortly after production ceased, meaning any return for the show would require a huge reimagining.<\/p>\n

“So I put those two elements together and decided a threat to the Street was in order.”<\/p>\n

Neighbours concluded in December 2025, but classic episodes are available to watch via Prime Video<\/a> and YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n
