Netflix has announced a new documentary series titled The One About Matthew Perry, which pays tribute to the late actor best known for his role as Chandler Bing on the popular 1990s sitcom Friends. The series will premiere on October 28, the one-year anniversary of Perry’s death. Perry, who rose to fame through Friends, passed away on October 28, 2023, at the age of 54, after an accidental drowning in his jacuzzi following a ketamine injection. The three-part documentary, directed by Mary Robertson, will explore Perry’s life and career, including his well-documented battles with addiction. These struggles were detailed in his 2022 memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, where he candidly discussed his personal challenges. The film will feature previously unreleased private photos and videos, along with personal accounts from those close to Perry. Mia Perry Bowick, Perry’s sister and a contributor to the documentary, shared that it took time for her to feel prepared to share these memories. She emphasized the importance of portraying her brother as a full person, beyond his role as Chandler Bing or his struggles with addiction. Bowick lends her voice to the documentary, offering a personal perspective on her relationship with Perry. Netflix has not confirmed whether other members of the Friends cast participated in the project. The documentary aims to provide a comprehensive look at Perry’s life, blending personal reflections with archival material to honor his legacy. The release date coincides with a year of remembrance for Perry, marking a significant moment for fans and those who knew him personally.
