Netflix just dropped an emotional tribute to Matthew Perry. The trailer for The One About Matthew Perry offers an intimate look at the late actor’s life and legacy. The upcoming documentary will explore the Friends actor’s life beyond the hit sitcom, showing viewers a new side of the comedic star. It will also showcase previously unreleased photos and videos from Perry’s family archive.

The upcoming film will feature testimonies from the actor’s sister, Mia Perry Bowick, and others close to him. These include Roger Castillo, Perry’s best friend, actor David Pressman, former NBC Entertainment president Warren Littlefield, René Ashton, Kevin Pollak, and more.

“It’s taken time for me to feel ready to share these memories and what it was like to love Matthew through all the complexity of his life — to see him as a whole person, not just as Chandler, and not just as someone who struggled with addiction,” said Bowick.

“As his sister, he shaped who I am today, the person I strive to be, and the work to which I’ve devoted my life. Matthew had a beautiful heart and a generous spirit, and even in his darkest moments, he could still make you laugh and feel loved. I hope this series gives everyone who loved him, whether personally or from afar, a deeper appreciation for who he truly was, and the legacy he leaves behind.”

What happens in The One About Matthew Perry trailer?

The trailer starts with a montage of hilarious scenes featuring Perry from various shows and films, including Friends. It then cuts to the actor talking to a live audience in an interview about his ambition of becoming famous. It then shows the late actor’s sister talking about his battle with addiction and struggle with loneliness, and how becoming a hit star didn’t fix it. Footage shows Perry’s collaborators and friends celebrating his legacy.

Mary Robertson directed the three-part series, with Maxine Productions and Jessica Call producing it. Mary Robertson, Lisa Kalikow, Eli Holzman, and Aaron Saidman serve as executive producers. Lora Moftah serves as co-executive producer.

“Matthew Perry was one of the comedic geniuses of our time,” said Robertson. “Through his many films, TV, and stage performances, and his unforgettable portrayal of Chandler Bing, he made millions of us laugh, connect, and feel a little less alone. He also gave us so much more by bravely speaking about addiction. Yet the public only knew part of his story. That’s why we set out to make this series: to let the people who knew and loved Matthew reveal the person behind the public figure.”

Perry entered the entertainment industry in 1979 in an episode of 240-Robert. The actor then starred in several films and TV shows, including Second Chance, Growing Pains, Sydney, Fools Rush In, The Whole Nine Yards, Numb, 17 Again, and more. The actor rose to international stardom through his portrayal of Chandler Bing in all ten seasons of Friends. The documentary’s title is an ode to the hit sitcom’s naming structure of its episodes. Perry died by an accidental overdose in October 2023 at the age of 54.

The One About Matthew Perry releases on Netflix on October 27, 2026.
