Neighbours has released its final cast photo as the long-running TV series prepares to come to an end after nearly 40 years.<\/p>\n

In a post on the show\u2019s official Twitter account <\/a>on Wednesday (11th May), Neighbours<\/a> shared its final promotional photo of the year, with the full cast posing alongside one another.<\/p>\n

The image, which you can see above, was captioned: \u201cClass of 2022 #Neighbours,\u201d alongside a yellow love heart emoji.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, it was announced that\u00a0the beloved programme was in jeopardy<\/a>\u00a0after UK broadcaster Channel 5 revealed it would cease airing Neighbours from this summer.<\/p>\n

After Freemantle Media, the production company behind the soap, failed to find a new production partner, it was\u00a0confirmed in March 2022 that\u00a0the soap would come to an end for good<\/a>.<\/p>

While fans will no doubt be pleased to see the show\u2019s current stars all together in the final cast photo, they will also be excited to welcome back some familiar faces from its past when it draws to a close later this year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Neighbours has confirmed the return of stars Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan for\u00a0the emotional finale<\/a>, who\u2019ll be making a comeback after more than 30 years away from the show.<\/p>\n

Executive producer\u00a0Jason Herbison said in\u00a0a statement<\/a>\u00a0on the soap\u2019s official Twitter account earlier in May that the programme was \u201cthrilled\u201d to be welcoming them back.<\/p>\n

\u201cScott and Charlene are the ultimate\u00a0Neighbours\u00a0couple and it would not feel right to end the show without them,\u201d Herbison commented.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled that Jason and Kylie have come home to play a very special part in our series finale. It has been an emotional experience for them, for us and I\u2019m sure it will be for our viewers.\u201d<\/p>\n
