Friends Spin-off TV Show Debuts Last 8 Unaired Episodes After 2 Decades
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
An update within the Friends franchise has resurfaced as a
long-unavailable collection of spin-off episodes prepares to debut
online in the U.S. The long-delayed release marks the project's
official digital rollout after years of restricted access. It follows
renewed viewer interest, rising demand for archival material, and
continued discussion about the Friends franchise.

Joey's long-unavailable episodes became accessible this week when the
official Friends YouTube channel released the final eight installments
of the spin-off.

The upload made the unaired Season 2 entries available in the United
States for the first time. NBC removed the show from its schedule
almost 20 years ago. The channel confirmed that all content is free to
view.

NBC cancelled the series in May 2006 after its ratings declined. Ireland
and Brazil aired the episodes that never reached the U.S. DVD releases
appeared only in a few regions. The Friends YouTube channel followed its
March 2025 plan to publish two installments every Tuesday when it
released the remaining episodes.

Joey premiered on Thursday, September 9, 2004, and drew 18.6 million
viewers for its debut. Matt LeBlanc reprised Joey Tribbiani as the
character moved from New York to Los Angeles to pursue acting work. The
cast included Drea de Matteo as Gina, Andrea Anders as Alex, Paulo
Costanzo as Michael, and Jennifer Coolidge as Bobby. NBC renewed the
show for a second season but moved it to Tuesdays opposite American
Idol, which reduced viewership.

The network removed the sitcom from its lineup before airing eight
completed Season 2 episodes. Those entries include "Joey and the Dad,"
"Joey and the Party for Alex," "Joey and the Big Move," "Joey and the
Beard," "Joey and the Wedding," etc. The Friends channel confirmed that
all episodes have been uploaded in full.

No principal Friends characters appeared in the spin-off. Jennifer
Coolidge, who portrayed a different character in Friends Season 10,
appeared throughout Joey, while Adam Goldberg played Jimmy, Michael's
estranged father. Robert Costanzo was the only actor to return to his
original Friends role as Joey Tribbiani Sr.

The episodes of Joey are currently streaming on the Friends YouTube
channel.
