It's a great idea for Freevee as it'll get them some publicity and I expect the money isn't a huge issue because the video stuff is all a bit of a side project for Amazon. I take it there's no Freevee in Australia, New Zealand or Canada hence why it'll end up on Prime Video there...

But I cannot help but feel the timing is all a little strange. They had the big send off over the summer and it's not exactly been given that long to stew and warrant a big 'come back'.

Also interesting use of 'new series' - will it be limited episodes instead of an ongoing 4/5 times a week thing, or is that just the way they're wording it to ensure people know it's new episodes?

New series to disambiguate from the back catalogue that'll also be made available, yeah. Presumably it'll be five episodes a week again, considering it's airing on Network 10.

Amazon clearly weren't interested while the show was still airing - but a lot of people tuned in for the finale and that Farewell Tour (which will now need renaming!) is a sellout.

All the interior sets were stripped out right?

Nope. The sets were in storage until the end of this year according to a producer.
