Netflix gets Friends TODAY – Every episode of hit 90s sitcom available to watch online

Friends fans from today can watch every single episode of the hit 90s sitcom on Netflix UK.

Netflix had teased that Friends was coming to the UK branch of the streaming service in a tweet yesterday.

On New Year’s Eve they tweeted: “The One with the Show Everyone’s Been Asking Us to Add”.

The cheeky tweet was a clear hint about Friends, with the title of almost every episode of the iconic show beginning “The One with”.

The tweet sent fans ecstatic, with the post retweeted thousands of times.

However, there was initially no indication when the show would be arriving on Netflix.

But at midnight today Netflix got 2018 off to a great start by adding all 10 seasons of friends to Netflix UK.

And as New Year’s Day got underway the streaming giant tweeted: “We’ll be there for you. All episodes of #Friends, now streaming.”

The news sent fans of the show on Twitter into meltdown, with the announcement causing Friends to trend on the social networking site.

One fan tweeted: “Finding all 10 seasons of friends on Netflix is honestly the best start to 2018.”

While another posted: “Friends being put on Netflix has made my 2018 already”.

And one added: “FRIENDS IS ON NETFLIX !!!!!“

Friends ran for 10 years, between 1994 and 2004, with 236 episodes filmed during its run.

Since then Friends fans have been left hoping the cast would reunite for a special comeback episode.

But Matthew Perry, who played Chandler Bing, poured cold water on the idea last year.

Explaining his reasonings, Perry said: “I have this recurring nightmare – I’m not kidding about this. 

“When I’m asleep, I have this nightmare that we do Friends again and nobody cares. 

“We do a whole series, we come back, and nobody cares about it. So if anybody asks me, I’m gonna say, ‘No’.”  

Perry added: “”The thing is, we ended on such a high. We can’t beat it. Why would we go and do it again?”

While Lisa Kudrow, who played Phoebe Buffay, recently said: “If we don’t tell you that one’s coming, and then it doesn’t happen, you have no reason to be disappointed.”

• Friends is available to watch on Netflix UK from today. If you have the Netflix smartphone app you can even download episodes ahead of your morning commute to save on data.
