The news was announced in post across Channel 4's social channels, including one on its Instagram page which says: "Our friends are coming home. They'll be there for you on E4 & Channel 4 January 2027".
This has included Netflix, 5, Comedy Central and its current streaming home HBO Max. The show will remain on that platform, but Channel 4 will have free-to-air rights. From January 2027, it will be available to watch and stream for free on Channel 4 and E4.
"Its witty, character-led comedy and lasting popularity make it a natural fit for Channel 4. Cherished by long-time fans and continuing to attract new viewers, it will complement the distinctive programming across our slate."
Meanwhile, Polly Scates, head of acquisitions at Channel 4, added: "Most of us remember exactly where we were when we watched the Friends finale! This iconic series has enduring appeal and continues to bring together audiences of all ages. We're thrilled to welcome Friends home to Channel 4."
A documentary about Perry, who died in 2023, will soon be coming to Netflix, arriving on that platform on Monday 27 October.
