Netflix will release the three-part documentary series *The One About Matthew Perry* on October 27. Rather than stopping at the public image of him as Chandler Bing, the series explores the actor’s life and the addiction issues he has discussed publicly through the memories shared by those who knew him closely.
A Portrait Beginning with the Family’s Records
At the center of the story are Perry’s younger sister, Mia Perry Bo...wick, and his longtime friends. Unreleased photos and videos from the Perry family’s personal archives add to the portrait, creating a record of private moments distinct from widely known performance footage and news coverage. The series’ observational approach is rooted in the testimonies of family and friends.
A Career and Struggle After Chandler Bing
Perry gained worldwide recognition for playing Chandler Bing on *Friends*, which aired from 1994 to 2004. The series connects the comedian’s rise to fame with his long experience of addiction and recovery, as well as the advocacy work he pursued by speaking about it publicly, within the life of one person.
Three Episodes, Seen Through the Eyes of Those Closest to Him
Emmy Award-winning Mary Robertson serves as director and executive producer, while Maxine Productions, under Sony Pictures Television, produced the series. By interweaving the memories of creative collaborators and acquaintances, the series goes beyond revisiting the star’s signature role to show how public success and private hardship coexisted throughout one person’s career.
