Friends is leaving Netflix very soon – and fans are not happy about it

by

Fans of the show Friends are in for some bad news: the popular sitcom will no longer be available on Netflix after December 30th.

This show originally aired from 1994 to 2004 and has been available on the streaming service for quite some time. However, all 10 seasons will be leaving at the end of the month, so fans have a limited time to watch it all.

Friends, featuring Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, and Matthew Perry, followed the lives of six friends in New York City.

The show became a cultural sensation when it first aired, earning numerous awards and continuing to impact popular culture for twenty years after it concluded.

It’s no surprise that fans are upset about Friends leaving Netflix, and many have expressed their disappointment on social media.

“Removing Friends on 30th dec…. so u want me to go insane?? count ur days @netflix,” one user wrote.

One person tweeted that Friends is essential viewing on Netflix, saying it helps them relax and unwind every night. They described it as their nightly mood booster and tagged @NetflixUK.

One viewer tweeted to Netflix, expressing their sadness that Friends is being removed from the streaming service and sharing how important the show is to them.

I watch Friends whenever I’m feeling any emotion – whether I’m happy, down, stressed, or celebrating. Enjoying it with a good meal is one of the simple things that always makes me happy.

Many people expressed disappointment about The Big Bang Theory also being removed from Netflix at the end of the year. One user on X wrote a frustrated message saying that losing both Friends and The Big Bang Theory is a big problem for them, as they rely on these shows to help manage their ADHD and fall asleep. They watch them daily and have for years, and are upset by Netflix’s decision.

A lot of people said this might make them cancel their Netflix subscription for a long time, and some wondered if they could reach out to Netflix and ask them to keep Friends on the service.

Now that HBO Max is launching in the UK in 2026, some viewers are wondering if the comedy series will be available to stream on that platform instead of its current one.

UK fans can still watch Friends! You can purchase individual episodes or full seasons on platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Sky Store, Apple TV, and Rakuten TV. Plus, Friends: The Reunion is available to stream on Sky Max and NOW TV.
