Overview
- The trailer was released on Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2026, and previews a three-part Netflix series titled The One About Matthew Perry that will premiere globally on Oct. 27, 2026.
- Director Mary Robertson and Maxine Productions framed the series as an intimate portrait that uses unreleased family photos and videos plus new testimony to show Perry beyond his Chandler Bing persona.
- Perry’s sister, Mia Perry Bowick, appears on camera for the first time and says in the trailer that Perry “spent $7 million trying to get sober,” a claim highlighted across coverage.
- The documentary includes voices from longtime friends and collaborators and features former prosecutor E. Martin Estrada to explain the criminal case tied to Perry’s October 2023 overdose, which the Los Angeles County medical examiner attributed to the acute effects of ketamine.
- The series is timed just before the third anniversary of Perry’s death and is likely to refocus public attention on his recovery advocacy, the human costs of long-term addiction, and how personal archives shape a fuller public memory of the actor.
