Netflix Matthew Perry docuseries announcement

Overview

Netflix has announced a three-part docuseries titled ‘The One About Matthew Perry’ (also referred to as ‘The One With Matthew Perry’), scheduled to premiere on October 27, 2026. Directed by Emmy winner Mary Robertson, the production intends to provide an in-depth look at the life and career of the late ‘Friends’ star, exploring his journey from an aspiring comedian to global stardom.

The series will utilize previously unreleased personal archives from the Perry family, including childhood footage, private photographs, and unreleased audio interviews. A central voice in the documentary will be the actor’s sister, psychotherapist Mia Perry Bowick, who will provide testimonies regarding his life, his rise to fame as Chandler Bing, and his personal struggles with addiction. Bowick expressed a desire for the public to see her brother as a “whole person” rather than solely through the lens of his fame or addiction, noting she required time to prepare to discuss the complexity of his life.

In addition to his acting career, the documentary will explore Perry’s background as a high-performance junior tennis player in Ottawa, Canada, where he achieved national rankings. While the participation of the original ‘Friends’ cast has not been confirmed, the series will include accounts from lifelong friends and creative collaborators. The release date falls one day before the third anniversary of the actor's death.
