Jason Donovan was "surprised" by 'Neighbours' return.
'I think it happened very quickly': Jason Donovan surprised by Neighbours' swift return
The 55-year-old performer - who played Scott Robinson in the soap for over 400 episodes between 1986 and 1989 - reprised his role alongside Kylie Minogue as Charlene for the show's final episode on Channel 5 last year, only to see it picked up and renewed by Amazon Freevee.
Speaking to Ricky Wilson on Virgin Radio, Jason said: "I think you can look at it two ways. You can look at it that way… or you can look at it the way that we created such a storm that there was only one way for it to go, and that was to bow down to public pressure and Amazon's Mr Bezos… is that his name? Bow down to The Bezos and bring it back.
"Look, I was surprised. I'm not gonna lie to you. I think it happened very quickly! But quick is good!"
The series will be back on screens on September 18th on Amazon Freevee, just over a year after what was thought to have been the last-ever episode was broadcast on July 29th on Channel 5.
However, the return will be set two years after the events of the finale.
In a trailer for the show, described as "a new chapter", Jackie Woodburne's character Susan Kennedy says: "Gosh, a lot has happened in the last two years."
As well as Jackie, Alan Fletcher, Annie Jones, Rebekah Elmaloglou, Ryan Moloney, and Stefan Dennis are all returning as series regulars.
In the trailer, 'The OC' actress Mischa Barton guest stars as Reece Sinclair, who appears to be in a relationship with Byron Stone, now played by Xavier Molyneux.
But he accuses her of "keeping secrets", which could no doubt lead to drama on Ramsay Street.
The trailer also teased a huge upcoming wedding.
April Rose Pengilly, Guy Pearce, Ian Smith, Jodi Gordon, Melissa Bell, and Trevor the Dog will also guest star in the series, while Tim Kano, Sara West, Shiv Palekar, Candice Leask, Emerald Chan, Georgie Stone, Lloyd Will, Lucinda Armstrong Hall, Lucinda Cowden, Marley Williams, Naomi Rukavina, Riley Bryant are part of the main cast.
