The three-part series will aggressively explore the legendary Friends star's life and legacy. "The One About Matthew Perry" will debut globally on the platform this October 27. Fans expect a deeply emotional and heartbreaking look behind the Hollywood curtain.

A Phenomenal Directorial Team Takes The Helm

Emmy-winning director Mary Robertson brilliantly leads the massive creative team behind the series. She previously directed the highly controversial and explosive "Quiet on Set" documentary.
