Channel five removes the show from its network

The close of the show comes as Fremantle had failed to secure another network that will air the show. Channel five has since terminated its contract with Neighbors and resulting in the show being canceled. Most of the production costs had relied on the Channel 5 network.

In August, the last episodes will be aired until September 2022. The episodes are expected to include some of the previous actors when the show first aired. The cast members promised that the last episodes will be the best episodes before the show officially comes to an end.
