Where can I watch Friends?

It ran for ten seasons, before the final episode aired in 2004. Whilst the cast have never reunited together on screen, in 2021, fans went wild after a Reunion special hosted by James Corden saw the actors reunite and reminisce about their time on the iconic sitcom.

All ten seasons of Friends are available to watch on Netflix, whilst the reunion episode can be streamed on NowTV.
