Has Friends’ next UK streaming home been revealed after Netflix exit news?

by

With the announcement that Friends will be removed from Netflix at the end of the year, it looks like we know where you’ll be able to watch it next. The popular sitcom, starring Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, and the late Matthew Perry, has been available on Netflix since 2015, but will no longer be streaming there after December 30th.

However, all 236 episodes will now be available on HBO Max when the streaming service launches in the UK and Ireland in March 2026.

According to a report from iNews (which hasn’t been officially confirmed), Friends might soon be available on a new streaming service, aligning with fan predictions and how the show is distributed internationally.

What to Read Next

You can now stream the show on HBO Max in both the United States and Australia. As reported by Variety, this means you’ll have access to a wide range of content – including shows and movies from Warner Bros. Television (the creators of Friends), HBO, Warner Bros. Pictures, DC Universe, and Max Originals – all in one convenient location.

This news has sparked rumors that shows like Heated Rivalry and The Pitt—which haven’t yet found streaming platforms in the UK—might end up there.

It’s unclear how Netflix buying Warner Bros. will change things, but fans are really hoping their access to Friends will be back soon.

One user posted on X, saying they rely on Friends to help them relax at night and can’t imagine Netflix removing it. They tweet every night while watching it, tagging @NetflixUK.

Another Netflix user tweeted, “@netflix I was really sad to hear Friends is leaving. That show means so much to me! I watch it whenever I’m feeling any kind of emotion – happy, sad, or stressed – and it’s one of my little comforts to enjoy with dinner.”

You can currently buy episodes online from places like Amazon Prime Video, the Sky Store, Apple TV, and Rakuten TV. As for Friends: The Reunion, it’s available to stream on Sky Max and NOW TV.

Friends is streaming on Netflix in the UK until December 30.

The latest issue of Living Legends is now available, and it’s dedicated to the incredible Dolly Parton! You can find “Dolly at 80” at newsagents or online for only £8.99.
