Watch Friends as one of the most successful TV shows of all time hits a major milestone as the sitcom reaches its 30th anniversary. The classic comedy is streaming all over the world, so read on as we explain the viewing options where you are, and how to tune in when you're away from home.
Over the course of ten seasons, Friends followed the lives, loves and losses of six twenty-somethings in Manhattan, New York. For the uninitiated, the group consisted of The highly strung and fiercely loyal Monica Geller (Courtney Cox), her neurotic and pragmatic older brother Ross Geller (David Schwimmer) and his college buddy, sarcastic jokester Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry). There’s also Monica’s high school best friend Rachel Green (Jannifer Aniston), who re-enters her life in the show’s pilot, Chandler’s roommate Joey (Matt LeBlanc), an would-be actor and classic ladies man and Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow), the quirky, cheerful tonic to the rest of the group's emotional drama.
The comedy was beloved by critics and audiences during its time on air, sweeping awards shows and winning six Emmy's among other accolades. Even today, the show remains hugely popular across a number of streaming platforms and there was even a Friends: The Reunion, in which the cast came back together to talk about their time on the show.
Newcomers and long-time fans alike can watch all 10 seasons on streaming services around the globe, so read on as we explain how to watch Friends online and from anywhere.
