'Best TV series of all time' finds new streaming home after Netflix axe
The sitcom 'Friends' will return to UK screens in March after Netflix announced it would remove the series.
After Netflix's decision to remove the beloved sitcom 'Friends' from its platform by the end of December, UK audiences will soon rejoice as the show is set to return to their screens in March. Originally airing from 1994 to 2004 on NBC, 'Friends' has been a staple in comedy television, providing viewers with a total of 236 episodes filled with humor and life lessons from the six friends navigating their lives in New York City.
Netflix had included 'Friends' in its catalogue from 2018 until its recent announcement, which left many fans disappointed. The sitcom had captured the hearts of millions, becoming a defining show of the 1990s and early 2000s, reflecting societal shifts in relationships and friendship. Viewers have expressed their dismay on social media, indicating how integral the show had been to their Netflix experience.
Fans can expect the return of 'Friends' to continue building its legacy as a cultural phenomenon, with its new streaming arrangement promising to keep the laughter alive. The show's transition from Netflix to its new platform underscores the shifting landscape of media consumption and the competitive nature of streaming services, highlighting how cherished properties can re-emerge in new contexts for audiences.
