Friends Forever 25th Anniversary Official Guide

Over the course of Friends, the world got to know six young New Yorkers who lived together, fell in love, broke up, and got themselves into impossible situations, each funnier than the last. The recipe has inspired many imitators, but no other sitcom has ever matched the original. It made its actors superstars, defined an instantly recognizable aesthetic, and left popular culture with a nice batch of iconic lines.

Through vintage photos and interviews with the show's creators, writers, and actors, Friends Forever revisits the set where it all began, looks back with nostalgia on the most memorable scenes, and reveals the origins of some of the show's most iconic phrases. If Friends remains "the best show of all time" according to Télérama readers and has been voted one of the best sitcoms in history by Vanity Fair and countless other publications, it's not without reason.

Twenty-five years after its first episode aired in France in 1996, Friends' popularity continues unabated. Having forever left its mark on pop culture history, it will continue to captivate audiences, generation after generation.
