Netflix documentary about Matthew Perry to be released in late October

A new documentary titled The One About Matthew Perry will premiere on Netflix on October 27 to honor the late actor's legacy. The series explores his life and career, arriving just before the third anniversary of his death caused by the acute effects of ketamine.

Netflix is set to release a new documentary titled The One About Matthew Perry on October 27, marking nearly three years since the actor's passing. The title serves as a tribute to the naming convention used for episodes of the iconic show Friends, where Perry gained fame for his role as Chandler Bing. The production features insights from those close to him, including his sister, Mia Perry Bowick. Matthew Perry was found dead in his Los Angeles home on October 28, 2021, at the age of 54. An official investigation determined that his death resulted from the acute effects of ketamine use. Following his passing, a legal investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death led to criminal charges. In May, Perry's personal assistant received a three-year prison sentence and a 10,000 dollar fine after admitting to injecting the actor with the drug that contributed to his fatal overdose.
