Overview
- Netflix released the first trailer on Tuesday, Sept. 29, revealing footage and first-time on-camera interviews ahead of the series’ Oct. 27 premiere.
- The One About Matthew Perry is structured as three episodes of about 50 minutes each and will stream globally on Netflix on October 27, 2026.
- In the trailer Perry’s sister, Mia Perry Bowick, says he “spent $7 million trying to get sober,” a detail the film uses to illustrate the scale of his treatment efforts.
- Confirmed interviewees include Perry’s sister, longtime friends Roger Castillo and David Pressman, writers and collaborators such as Warren Littlefield and Jeff Strauss, and people he met in recovery, while the principal Friends cast are not listed as participants.
- The series, directed by Mary Robertson and built around private photos and videos from the Perry family, revisits his recovery work and public advocacy and is likely to renew conversations about addiction, treatment costs, and how fame shapes care and perception.
