The series about the fate of six friends from Manhattan premiered in 1994. It was produced by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, who certainly did not expect that many years after finishing work on the series, the title would remain one of the most cult series in the world.
“Friends” with the best viewership ever! The result is impressive
Recently, the sitcom has become loud again. All because of the sudden death of Matthew Perry, who played one of the main characters of “Friends” – Chandler Bing. The 54-year-old actor was found dead in his home in Los Angeles. The authorities gave the cause of death as drowning after cardiac arrest. After the results of additional tests, we will find out whether something else was the cause of death.
According to the information provided by the editorial office, which refers to the latest report by the American Nielsen, the viewership of “Friends” on the “Max” streaming service after October 30 reached the highest level in history. The series was ranked fourth on Nielsen’s overall streaming chart for the week of the penultimate day of October.
The higher productions included: “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse”, “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Suits”. Subscribers spent a total of 860 million minutes watching “Friends,” which is the highest total U.S. viewership for the sitcom since it moved from Netflix to Max.
Interestingly, Nielsen indicated that two-thirds of “Friends” viewers for the week of October 30 were people under 35. This means that for many viewers these were not repeat viewings, but watching a completely new series.
