About Friends
Friends ran ten seasons on NBC from 1994 to 2004 as six twenty-somethings orbit Central Perk through jobs, weddings and breakups. The early seasons build the Ross and Rachel loop, the middle years peak with the London wedding and Vegas, and the last stretch lands the Monica and Chandler family plus the finale airport chase.
Joey spun off for two seasons from 2004 to 2006 as an optional extra, and the cast reunited for the 2021 Max special looking back. No revival has been ordered, and the reunion works as a farewell rather than a pilot, so the ten seasons plus the special are the full set.
Good to know
Watch seasons 1 through 10 in broadcast order, since the will-they-won't arcs only pay off in sequence despite the episodic shell. Joey fits after the finale as a separate track and can be skipped without losing anything. The 2021 reunion closes the book as a retrospective, so treat the show as complete and sample favorite episodes freely on rewatches.
