Amazon Freevee has announced that new episodes of Neighbours will debut on the AVoD service in September – and a new family will be coming to Ramsay Street: the Varga-Murphys, featuring mums, Remi and Cara, and their teenage sons, JJ and Dex.
Sara West, who plays Cara Varga-Murphy, commented: “I’m so honoured to be a part of the new Neighbours legacy and really looking forward to bringing the Varga-Murphy family to Australian and international screens. Cara has a bold, impassioned love for her family and I love that her intentions have, so far, always been good. I hope having the Varga-Murphys on telly will help better reflect the beautiful LGBTQIA+ community that I’m proud to be a part of and I can’t wait to share the family with you.”
Jason Herbison, Neighbours’ Executive Producer, added: “We are delighted to welcome the Varga-Murphy family to Ramsay Street and the amazing cast portraying them. It feels fitting that the new season will herald the arrival of a new household, with many new stories to tell. They have fitted into Erinsborough beautifully, they are warm, fun and also very unpredictable.
Neighbours is produced by Fremantle. The series will stream exclusively on Amazon Freevee in the UK and US, and will also be available on Prime Video in Canada, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Australia’s Network 10 will retain first-run rights in Australia for the new chapter of the series.
A number of classic Neighbours episodes are currently available on Amazon Freevee. It was also announced earlier this year that Mischa Barton will be joining the cast.
