'Friends' Heads to Netflix

The popular sitcom will make its subscription streaming debut next year. 

Netflix and Warner Bros. have announced a deal that will bring all ten seasons and 236 episodes of 'Friends' to the streaming platform. This will mark the first time that the entire series is available for online streaming on a subscription service.

'Friends' ran for ten seasons on NBC from 1994-2004. The hit comedy stars Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer as six friends navigating life in New York City. Along with the announcement, Netflix also released a promotional music video featuring the show's iconic (and incessantly hummable) theme song being performed by The Rembrandts. The video was filmed on location at Central Perk Pop Up in NYC on Oct. 6. Check it out below!

'Friends' will premiere on Netflix on January 1, 2015. The series will be available to stream in the US and Canada. A monthly Netflix subscription currently starts at $7.99. The service is available on a variety of smart TVs and streaming media players, including the Fire TV, Roku 3, Apple TV and Chromecast. Meanwhile, there's no word yet on streaming rights for the show's short-lived spinoff, 'Joey,' but then again, I don't think anyone was asking...
