A three-part documentary series about Friends star Matthew Perry is set for release on Netflix next month.

The comedy actor, known worldwide for playing Chandler on the hit 90s sitcom, was found unresponsive in a hot tub in his Los Angeles home on October 28, 2023. He was later pronounced dead, with his death being attributed to the acute effects of ketamine, with drowning and coronary artery disease listed as other factors.

In May, Perry’s live-in assistant was jailed for three years and five months for his role in the actor’s death. Prior to that, drug dealer Jasveen Sangha and rehab counsellor Erik Fleming were also sentenced for prison for supplying him drugs.

Now, a three-part documentary series, titled The One With Matthew Perry, will explore the actor’s life and struggles as told by the people who were close to him. It is due to debut on the streamer on October 27.

Netflix’s press release reads: “Anchored by never-before-heard testimonies from Perry’s sister Mia Perry Bowick and his lifelong best friends, the three-part series, which features unreleased photos and videos from the Perry family’s private archive, traces his journey from rising comedic star to the man the world still loves as their favourite Friend. First-hand memories from his creative collaborators and friends who adored and supported him are woven with candid new details on his private struggles.”

Perry Bowick, a licensed psychotherapist, said: “It’s taken time for me to feel ready to share these memories and what it was like to love Matthew through all the complexity of his life — to see him as a whole person, not just as Chandler, and not just as someone who struggled with addiction.” She added: “I hope this series gives everyone who loved him, whether personally or from afar, a deeper appreciation for who he truly was, and the legacy he leaves behind.”

Last August, Perry’s Friends co-star Jennifer Aniston revealed that she and her fellow castmembers has “mourned” the actor long before his passing, due to the struggles he had been facing.
