Matthew Perry’s Life Story Gets the Netflix Docuseries Treatment in New Trailer

Matthew Perry's life story is set to be shared in a new three-part docuseries on Netflix. The trailer for "The One About Matthew Perry" premiered on Tuesday, just three years after the "Friends" star passed away at 54. The docuseries explores Perry's life through personal accounts from family, friends, and co-stars, revealing his generosity, humor, and vulnerability.

It also delves into the battles he fought, including his struggle with addiction. The series features testimonies from Perry's sister Mia Perry Bowick, friends David Pressman and Roger Castillo, former co-stars Billy Gallo and Kevin Pollak, and "Friends" writer Jeff Strauss. NBC TV executive Warren Littlefield and "Friends" writer Jeff Strauss also provide insights.

E. Martin Estrada will discuss the criminal case surrounding Perry's overdose death, which occurred in his Pacific Palisades home on October 28, 2023. Directed by Mary Robertson and executive produced by Lisa Kalikow, Eli Holzman, and Aaron Saidman, the docuseries aims to give audiences a deeper understanding of the person behind the public figure.

Robertson stated, "Matthew Perry was one of the comedic geniuses of our time... 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." Perry's sister, Mia, added, "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."
