The Channel 5 Aussie soap is getting its own spin off series this Autumn...
Fans of Channel 5 soap Neighbours are set to get an extra dose of Ramsay Street drama with a brand new daily spin off show. Neighbours: Erinsborough High will show exclusively on the channel’s On Demand service My5 in November.
Stripped across one week, the five-part series will focus on the students of Erinsborough High school in a dark storyline that sees one Year Twelve student go missing during exam week…
The spin-off will feature familiar Ramsay Street favourites including Yashvi Rebecchi and transgender pupil Mackenzie Hargreaves, as well as introducing several new characters. The dramatic story will run alongside events in the regular show.
More story details are being kept under wraps for now but a Chanel 5 spokesperson has revealed: “It will explore issues universally troubling teens today – bullying, mental illness, sexuality, cultural diversity, parental and peer pressure and teacher-student relationships.”
Phew! Sounds like an action-packed week!

It will be exciting to find out!
Neighbours continues on Channel 5
