The One Who Was Matthew Perry, a three-episode documentary series about the Friends actor, arrives on Netflix on Tuesday, October 27, 2026.
The documentary charts Matthew Perry’s rise from his Hollywood start to Chandler Bing’s global stardom. From 1994 to 2004, he embodied the iconic character in all 236 episodes of Friends, cementing himself as one of television comedy’s most instantly recognizable faces.
The series also explores his long battle with addiction, a struggle he had chosen to speak about publicly. Matthew Perry died in October 2023, at the age of 54, as a result of an accidental overdose.
Her sister Mia Perry Bowick and several close friends testify in the documentary. Photographs and videos from the family’s private archives help chart her life beyond the character she is best known for.
Directed by Mary Robertson, the series aims to capture the actor's many dimensions: his wit, his vulnerability, his personal struggles, and his commitment to those facing addiction.
