Overview
- Netflix announced that The One About Matthew Perry will debut on Oct. 27, 2026, a date that falls one day before the third anniversary of the actor’s death.
- The three-part series is directed and executive produced by Mary Robertson and is produced by Maxine Productions at Sony Pictures Television with Lisa Kalikow, Eli Holzman and Aaron Saidman listed as executive producers.
- Perry’s sister Mia Perry Bowick is a central voice in the documentary and the series includes unreleased photos and videos from the Perry family archive to support firsthand memories.
- Reports say the series will address Perry’s long public battles with addiction and it arrives with the established medical and legal record that his 2023 death was ruled an accidental overdose from the acute effects of ketamine and that five people were later sentenced for supplying drugs linked to his death.
- Filmmakers frame the docuseries as an effort to reframe Perry beyond his Chandler Bing role and to deepen public understanding of addiction and advocacy, which may renew attention to his work, his family’s accounts, and the court outcomes tied to his death.
