A big question is if the plan was always to secure a deal for Friends to stay on Netflix or if it was worked out after the outcry over Friends’ upcoming removal.
So, Friends fans don’t have to worry about binge-watching all ten seasons of Friends by January 1 for one last hurrah!
It is worth noting that no details were released about how much longer the license for Friends on Netflix was extended, so it’s possible that this issue will come up once again in the not-terribly-distant future.
