Overview
- Netflix will premiere the three-episode docuseries The One About Matthew Perry on October 27, 2026, using family archives and interviews to dig into his life beyond Chandler Bing.
- Mia Perry Bowick describes watching the Monica–Chandler wedding as bittersweet because the family knew Perry wanted marriage and children while his addiction made that uncertain.
- Bowick’s on-camera testimony in the series recounts private funeral moments, saying the five main Friends actors attended together and walked to Perry’s casket holding hands.
- Perry died in Los Angeles on October 28, 2023, and the autopsy attributed his death to the acute effects of ketamine followed by drowning; a later criminal probe led to convictions and prison sentences for people accused of exploiting his addiction.
- The series builds on Perry’s 2022 memoir and long history of treatment, and it may reshape public views of his legacy while renewing attention on care, accountability, and how addiction is handled by treatment providers and caregivers.
