Hip Hip Hooray! Neighbours Celebrates Its Milestone 40th Birthday – Neighbours, the iconic Australian television soap that has captivated audiences across the globe for four decades, celebrates its remarkable 40-year anniversary today.
Since its debut in 1985, the residents of Ramsay Street have become household names, inviting viewers into the fictional suburb of Erinsborough to witness the everyday dramas, romances and rivalries that have resonated with generations of viewers worldwide.
As well as entertaining millions of viewers for four decades, Neighbours has served as an extraordinary launch pad for some of Australia’s most successful performers.
From Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan to Guy Pearce, Natalie Imbruglia, Margot Robbie, and the Hemsworth brothers, plus writers, directors and more, the show has consistently discovered and nurtured Australian talent, propelling them onto the world stage.
As we celebrate this milestone anniversary, we not only honour the show’s cultural impact and legacy, but also recognise its pivotal role in showcasing Australian creativity and talent to audiences worldwide.
Executive Producer, Jason Herbison said:
“We love anniversaries at Neighbours – and the 40th is our biggest yet and that’s cause for celebration. The 40th anniversary is a huge week that tips a hat to all the big soapie twists and turns that our viewers have come to love. It’s fresh and nostalgic at the same time. The events of the week also set us up with great storylines for the months to come.”
With its signature blend of heartwarming storytelling and community spirit, Neighbours has rightfully earned its place as the longest-running drama series in Australian television history.
