Beloved 40-Year-Old Soap Opera Neighbours Drops Emotional First Look at Final Week After more than 40 years on the air, Neighbours is preparing for its final week of episodes. Amazon confirmed earlier this year that the long-running Australian/American co-produced soap will conclude its revival run, giving fans one last week to visit Ramsay Street. The show’s official X (formerly Twitter) account released an extended trailer for the final week, offering fans a first look at the storylines wrapping up the series.
