Neighbours initially hit the air in 1985, and was cancelled in 2022 before Amazon Freevee revived it and placed it back on the air last fall, garnering its first-ever U.S. Daytime Emmy nominations.
The series was nominated for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series, while actor Guy Pearce was nominated for Outstanding Guest Performance in a Daytime Drama Series.
The stalwart series featured a number of nascent A-listers early on in their careers, including Margot Robbie and Russell Crowe, according to Amazon MGM Studios.
