Friends Forever 25th Anniversary Official Guide

Through the episodes of Friends, the world came to know six young New Yorkers who lived together, fell in love, broke up, and got caught in impossible situations, each funnier than the last. The recipe inspired many imitators, but no other sitcom has ever matched the original. It made its actors superstars, defined a recognizable aesthetic, and left a trove of cult lines to popular culture.

Through vintage photos and interviews with the series' creators, writers, and actors, Friends Forever revisits the set where it all began, looks back nostalgically at the most memorable scenes, and reveals the origins of some of the show's most iconic expressions. If Friends remains "the best series of all time" according to Télérama readers and has been voted among the best sitcoms in history by Vanity Fair and countless other publications, it's for good reason.

Twenty-five years after its first episode aired in France in 1996, Friends' popularity continues unabated. Having forever marked the history of pop culture, it will continue to win over crowds, generation after generation, for a long time to come.
