The Neighbours UK farewell tour has dropped another update, with the show confirming that it has been renamed.

Last week it was announced that the soap will be returning, with the tour revealing at the time that it will still be going ahead – though may need a new name.

Following on from that, the show has confirmed that it will now be called The Celebration Tour given the change of circumstances.

"Following the exciting news that the show is returning, we’re rebranding the Farewell Tour (for the third time!) to Neighbours – The Celebration Tour, a name which perfectly represents what it was always planned to be, a celebration of Neighbours past, present and FUTURE!" they tweeted.

Neighbours was cancelled earlier this year by Channel 5, with its farewell airing over the summer. However, it was revealed last week that it will return on Amazon Freevee.

It has since emerged that hundreds of episodes are in the pipeline, with a source telling Digital Spy: "The plan is for Neighbours to keep its format as a high-volume daily soap opera, so it'll still be the show that fans know and love.

"Plans are being made for two new seasons, which will run for 200 episodes each. It's an incredible result for fans, who thought they'd seen the last of the show when the finale aired in July.

"The logic for Freevee is that daily episode drops will keep fans checking back on the streaming service and engage with other content available."

Neighbours returns in the second half of 2023 with new episodes streaming free on Amazon Freevee in the UK and US. Network 10 will retain first-run rights in Australia for the new series.
