Overview
- Netflix will release the three-part documentary The One About Matthew Perry on October 27, 2026, according to multiple reports and the series’ promotional material.
- Members of the core Friends ensemble — Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer — were reportedly invited but chose not to participate in on-camera interviews, sources told Page Six and other outlets.
- Producers say the series will instead feature friends, colleagues and people from Perry’s life who offer memories and context, drawing heavily on private family photos and footage.
- Mia Perry Bowick, Matthew Perry’s sister, speaks publicly for the first time in the series, which also revisits his long struggle with addiction and the circumstances of his October 2023 death that were tied to the acute effects of ketamine.
- The decision by the principal cast to decline interviews, coming before a release that coincides with the third anniversary of Perry’s death, raises questions about privacy, public mourning and how the documentary’s narrative will shape his legacy.
